Pros:

None come to mind.

Cons:

It made my skin worse than it ever was before I started using Proactiv. I would wake up in the morning with giant pimples under the skin that were painful to the touch - something I never experienced before this product. It also left me with large dry patches of skin on my face. The mositurizer did not help at all and it left my skin feeling very greasy. Plus, the refining mask did nothing for me, other than dry out my skin further.

I would recommend finding something much gentler than Proactiv. Drying out your skin will not solve your acne. Definitely not worth the money and DOES NOT provide the "instant" results that it claims on the commercials. Please don't waste your time.

Pros:

I hate to say it, but there were no pros for me.

Cons:

Bleached my pillow cases (that only made me worried about what it was doing to my face)
Created even more pimples and I used this product for 2 months, which is longer than the time the product suggests. Drying feeling.

Honestly this product may work for some people, but I highly doubt that it works in 2 weeks like the commercials suggest. My brown pillow cases were bleached while I was using proactiv, and I don't even want to guess what it was doing to my face, but it sure as heck wasn't clearing up my zits.

Pros:

PRACTICALLY NOTHING;AT LEAST COULD GET $$ BACK

Cons:

EVERYTHING! PRODUCT, PRICE, CUSTOMER SERVICE

THIS IS SECOND TIME I TRIED PRODUCT, THINKING IT WAS ME.....BUT NO IT WASN'T. PRODUCT TOO STRONG FOR MY SKIN, CAUSED MORE OF AN RXN THAN THE ACNE ITSELF. WENT BACK TO HOLISTIC MEASURES!
