Pros:

None that I found.

Cons:

Broke my skin
Made it much worse
Left me with scars

I bought this on ebay, to avoid getting charged on my bank account as others have reported. I thought since I had light/mild acne this would do just fine. Boy was I wrong. First of all it really hurt my skin. I broke out way worse than I ever have! I'm still dealing with the scars caused by this. Thinking it was just the IB (Inital Breakout|) I carried on until I had used up all the bottles. My skin was in a much worse state than it was to begin with so I haven't bothered to purchase again. It was red, covered with zits and just looked..raw. I switched to a more gentle cleanser and my skin is getting better everyday. Please, please, don't get taken in by the adverts! It's just not worth the risk!

Pros:

. It clears up red spots

Cons:

. It works slowly and it gave me ALOT more acne

Ive tried it out for a week. It might not have been that long but proactiv claims it works fast, however, I saw no positives changes. All I saw was more bad acne than before I used it. Step 3 is really oilly and probably made it worse. thanks alot proactiv.....:/

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

it dried my skin out. I use to squeeze a little bit of the cleanser into my hands and then wash my face. The palms of my hands started breaking out in little bumps and itching like mad.

This is a horrible bleached product. It has even bleached my towels and face cloth and any clothes that get splashed on. DON"T USE THIS. There's better products out there than this rubbish celebrity endorsed bleach.

Pros:

It lasted a few months. The scrub was nice, left skin feeling refined.

Cons:

Unfortunately this didn't help me at all. I spent 3 months in the USA and seen the adds all over TV so when came home I purchased. I was so dissapointed. It didn't work for me at all. I used it twice a day morning and before I went to bed.

It could just be my bad luck but didn't work for me at all.

It was a couple years ago, I just wanted clear skin. So I got my mom to order me proactiv, i've seen very good reviews on tv, all these celebrites so i thought it might be something that would work for me. ----It didnt do anything. I dont like this product, it was harsh and it hurt but didnt do anything

Didn't work for me. It didn't cause breakouts, but didn't help them. I have oily skin, too.Probably works on very light acne.

Pros:

Can buy at the mall one time instead of ordering one after another.

Cons:

Didn't help acne at all. Skin felt clean and skin around acne looked better but didn't reduce acne.

Doesn't work how intended.

Pros:

Clean Feeling on Skin

Cons:

Did not work
Dried up my skin
Did not prevent new pimples
Clogged Skin

I bought ProActiv because I had seen so many ads on TV and my skin was getting worse each day. I wasn't too surprised that it was so expensive. Bottom line, it didn't work. My skin didn't get any better, and since ProActiv didn't prevent any new breakouts like it PROMISED, it made it worse. After quitting ProActiv, I switched to Clinique and my face is finally beginning to clear up :)
