Pros:

- The sales woman was very nice!
- I can already feel a different consistency in my skin. It's smoother and a few bumps have dissapeared.
- Free gift of mineral blush.

Cons:

- My face became swollen around my eyes and quite red and angry looking.
- I paid $140 for the basics and a night cream and a deep cleansing wash. Very pricey for skin care. The most I've ever spent.

I've only been using it for a few days but I can already feel a difference in the smoothness of my skin. It really gets deep into your pores but I found it wasn't a good make up removing cleanser and so I had to use both the Cleanser and Deep Cleansing Wash to get my make up off. Last night my skin was red and tingly, which isnt at all normal for me. This morning my face was still red but quite puffy and swollen around my eyes. I wonder wether it was an allergic reaction of if it'd normal for skin to have this sort of reaction. The price was reasonable if by chance this skincare works wonders, if not and there is no difference by next week, I'll definetely be asking for my money back.

Pros:

Can be beneficial to some people, great toner and moisturizer (green tea)

Cons:

Too expensive if you have health insurance, face wash too aggressive

I think Proactiv set would be best suitable for young skin with mild inflammation/bacteria-related acne. I think the face wash with scrubbing particles is way too aggressive on sensitive skin, and is better used as a weekly scrub. The toner is my favorite, though I don't think it needs to be used twice a day; once at night every day or every other day should be enough. The BP is 2.5%, which is good, but there are cheaper prescription alternatives such as Epiduo, which can prevent acne as well as heal. Proactiv's green tea moisturizer's great; feels light and never broke me out.

Pros:

- Dries out pimples
- Prevents Acne

Cons:

- Doesn't really get rid of pimples, just prevents anymore from growing
- Expensive
-TINY BOTTLES!!!
- Irritates face (for me it did.)

Soo i've used this product for about 4 or 5 months. The first time i washed my face with it, my skin felt refreshed and clean. I had a really good feeling about it. I put the toner on and it stinged a little. After a couple of minutes i put on the lotion and i felt refreshed again. That night i went to bed and the next morning my face was RED! I just thought maybe if i kept putting it on, the redness will eventually go away. I used it again that morning. For about a week that i've been using it day & night, i noticed that my face was all dry and peeling. I stopped using it for one day. Then i kept the cycle going again, just this time i only did it once a day. after maybe 2 or 3 weeks i started using it twice a day because i had an important party to go to and i didn't want to have pimples all over my face. During those times i saw a difference. My face was clearer. Then by the end of the 3rd month i saw zits again. By the middle of the 4th month, the treatement stopped working. (for me at least) Then by the 5th month i ran out & i just thought what's the point of spending more money for something that isn't working for me. You CAN see a difference, it just depends on your skin too. It didn't work that great for me but you can give it a try!

Pros:

-Works great!
-Skin was soft.
-Gave you a free prize.

Cons:

-Smells weird.
-Itty Bitty Bottles.
-Dried my skin and now its all flakey!

I ordered this honestly because I saw Justin Bieber on a commercial for it. But I ordered it because there was free shipping. When I got it it was right on time. I opened the box up to find about a 2 inch bottle. Lucky the last a lot longer. They already sent me another package but I'm still on the first one. Proactive dried out my skin to where it got flakey! So I stopped using it. A couple days after my acnee got worse! I never really got acne but now I do. So I tried using it again and it burned! It left my face bright red! But luckily after a week of using it my acne cleared!

Pros:

It does work!!!!!

Cons:

You must use as directed!!!!

Acne start from under the skin. So using this product on your face helps for a little on the outside of the skin. But what about the inside of the skin. Sooner of later you well have to use a antibiotics. Ance is an infection of the skin. So that's why this product only work for a little.
