Pros:

Clears skin, smells good, DESTROYS blackheads lol

Cons:

Burns if used while sunburned (found this out the hard way) dries skin if not used with moisturizer, took a while for it to work, at least with me

This isn't a miracle, but it's the only thing my skin has ever even reacted to (positively.) I used it for a couple months, didn't think it was working, so I stopped using it. Broke out horribly, started using it again, and now I'm clearing up. Right now I have about five pimples (huuuugee improvement over what my face used to look like) and they're clearing up, too. As I said, if you don't use moisturizer you're asking for a world of pain, including dry, flaky,hurting skin. But, use a moisturizer and you're fine. And they're serious when they say use sunscreen. Get sunburned and pray for mercy.

Best Acne treatment in India - Proactiv
I think Proactiv 3 step anti acne system is really great. It is one of the best acne treatments I have come across. I'm getting married in 6 months, and with Proactiv in hand, I have no worries for my skin. :)

Pros:

Proactiv definitely clears up my skin! It doesn't burn, leave rashes or break me out. It gives me a great clean and soft feeling. After just one use, my skin began to clear up.

For just $20, I got a 2 oz bottle of facial scrub (step 1), a toner (step 2) and a moisturizer (step 3), plus a free sample of their face mask and a green tea moisturizer! Totally worth every cent.

Pros:

1) Dark Spot Corrector Worked Extremely Well
2) The Basic "3 Step System" Cleared Skin Faster Than Expected
3) The Advanced Blemish Treatment Cleared Some Acne Spots Within Hours

Cons:

Irritates Sensitive Skin
Toner Made Skin Itch
Pricey$$$

Although the price is quite higher than other acne medications, I think it's worth the price. I had acne scars on my chin and after roughly a week of using the "dark spot corrector" with the 3 step system majority of them were gone. Yet I don't think this is right for people with "SEVER" acne from what I've read in the previous reviews. But for someone whos gets 2 or 3 small pimples a day it worked great! -Hope this helps!

Pros:

-Does deliver to its promise
-seems to help clear up old red marks too
-pimples go away quickly, and then they dont come back

Cons:

-drying
-if you ever stop for more than 2 or 3 days, all your acne will come back, full force
-expensive

Bottom line, it works. I have only been using it for about 60 days, but it does work. I stopped for a few days to give my skin a break from benzyl proaxide, and my skin broke out. But to be completely serious, I dont care if it's going to break out when I stop. I just want to have clear skin while I use it. MAKE SURE TO HAVE A GREAT MOISTURIZER.

Pros:

noticed a difference right away
made my face soft and smooth
cleared all my acne in 2 weeks!

Cons:

strong formula, dried my skin out a little

I've read alot of negative reviews of Proactiv and I was a little nervous to try it but I'm so glad I gave it a shot. It's made my skin so much better and it really has given me more confidence. It's so nice to look in the mirror and not see acne! I really feel like one of the people on the commercials, haha. I love it!

Pros:

makes my face feel clean
clears up acne fast

Cons:

price
is slow to start working
dries out your face

overall i have been using Proactiv for about 2 weeks. When I first started I had lots of bumps all over my forhead and face. Now after two weeks my skin is nice and creamy and it feels really smooth. Also the bumps have gone down a LOT. Also many people are complaining that it dries your face out. It is supposed to which is why it has Benzyl Peroxide.

Pros:

Clears Acne, Softens Skin, Freshens Complexion

Cons:

Takes Upwards of three weeks before improvments are noticable.

I adore the new proactiv. I used to use the old one but found that my skin flaked, stung and became red after using it. This new proactiv is really gentler, I started off using it once per day for the first week to get my skin used to it & then increased it to twice a day use every second day & then increased it further to twice a day everyday. I havent found that i need to put alot of the repairing lotion on my face to reap the rewards, i use a thin layer all over my face & it is absorbed very quickly. I have dry skin & it can be very sensitive to some products, so i was very suprised to see that the new proactiv really is so much gentler.

Pros:

- it get rid of pimples
- its great for skin

Cons:

- expensive but its worth it!
- small bottle
- it can make pimple worst if you have severe acne but its only for a week!

I've been using proactiv since april 2010 and i had baaaaad acne on my face like really bad so, on my sister's b-day we went shopping and i convinced my mum to buy me proativ cause i saw it a lot on tv. and i was impresed of the results. I was so happy when i got them and used them at night. But it made my pimples worst on the first week but i think my face wasn't use to those products thats why it made it even worst. And so after 3 weeks i saw some imprevement but i still had pimples. After i finished my first set, my pimples on my forehead were all gone (but i had marks), BUT MY CHEEKS HAD LOTS OF PIMPLES! i bought another set and as im getting use to the product it made all of my pimples gone and i stopped having pimples, YES! but i still have very very very very light marks on my face, they're are noticable if you stare at them carefully but doesn't matter my pimples are gone now, and im happy. I totally recommend Proativ. btw ive been using it for 10 months, i love it! :)

Pros:

It works.
Easy, simple to use.

Cons:

You have to use it every morning and everyday for it to work. May dry out skin at first.

It you use it everyday consistently, it will work. It was a life saver.
