Pros:

The smell is pleasant. I've never had clearer skin since I was a child.

Cons:

Expensive and you have to buy a whole system.

I have really sensitive skin and less than moderate acne. Going through the 3 step system dried out my skin really badly. I'm aware that this is common for a few weeks but the dry skin lasted longer than that and I was using a great moisturizer at the same time. Eventually, I decided to only use the Repairing Lotion 2x a day and the Toner only in the morning. My skin is still clear as when I was following the 3 steps but without the icky dry skin. I only use the Cleanser when my face feels like it needs it.

Pros:

Clears up the skin quite quickly, overall oily appearance disappeared within days. Product is very good for what is it supposed to do.

Cons:

After 2 weeks of use, my skin became very dry and often irritated when applying the product. It even appeared as if I was peeling from sunburn and I would constantly have to apply lotion for this. I would not recommend ordering this online.

Their online promises and agreements are very deceiving. Whenever they say 19.95 or something like that, they really mean that plus a 30 dollar charge to your card next month. Also, I have tried to cancel these shipments and they continue to bill my card, even after emails saying this would not happen! I have sent emails and wasted a lot of time with Proactiv. They say I could return the package and receive my money back, less the shipment charges, however I never received this package and is just a hasle to get my money back! People do not support this company, they are deceiving!

Pros:

It works for about a month.

Cons:

Then it stops working and leaves the skin dry, and itchy. It leaves you with worse acne then you had before! This product is not good at all.

Don't waste your money! This product is horrible! I'm tired of the stupid commercials about it!

Pros:

The mask cleared up a couple of pimples overnight like magic and the system was easy to use and potent. The toner and cream were very pleasant and left my skin feeling soft and clean.

Cons:

after two days of use i took a short walk and it just so happened to be sunny. My skin started burning and though it had initially been getting clearer, by the end of the day my skin was covered with blemishes. I only used it for a few more days

i learned that sunscreen is very important with this product. it made my usually normal skin very sensitive. it was the worst i've broken out in my life and it took a long time to clear up. My roommate still used it though and she's never had a problem. Im very outdoorsy and usually don't wear sunscreen and previously had very normal skin. though it had a great first impression it changed my skin drastically and still it's more sensitive than it's been my whole life. it just wasn't for me. but i know and have seen it do wonders on others.

Pros:

ben6zoyl peroxide really gets rid of stubborn blemishes... have a nice translcent glow.. to my skin... soft

Cons:

it takes about 1 mnth for ur skin to start to clear.... durign the month you break out horribley.. it lifts up all the impurities.
skin cam get flaky if overused.
once u stop usage you get really painfull under the skin lumps which really hurt.

its okay.... i ts really hard to say that it works or that it doesnt.. itsepends on the person.. iwould not reccomend it if you have acne.... if you have a few zits or blemishes.. then sure.. but not if you have oozing acne... it worked for me... but now i feel that i am obligated to use it for life.. becasue when idont.. i break out.
