It worked for the first bit...

Cons:

Stopped improving after a little bit, and also made my skin VERY dry.

Not worth the money

Pros:

I threw it away last week. Yay!

Cons:

dried my skin out, made my acne 20 times worse, little bumps are EVERYWHERE, took about 2 weeks to heal completely, and my skin turned red and bumpy

Didn't work. I think you have a 1 out of 10 chance of getting good results from Proactiv. You're better off getting a derm.

Pros:

Cons:

Didn't do one positive thing for my face

I used Proactiv for over 1 year and it did not help my acne at all. In fact, it has really made it continuously worse. I kept thinking that it was just the initial breakout that you are supposed to get, but, after a year, it was still horrible! I am very disappointed with this product.

Pros:

I can't think of a good thing about this product.

Cons:

This dried my face up so severely bad I had to stop using any face soap for a few days and apply moisturizer three times a day. This also didn't lather enough to do anything with. It isn't worth the cost.

Make sure that you read all the fine print. I was unaware that they would send me a new shipment every month and immediately charge my credit card. It took three weeks for them to credit me back and the representative said they would fully credit me, including reimbursing me for shipping. However when I called proactiv back, she said they weren't allowed to pay me back for shipping. This company is a rip off and they take advantage of customers. I will not buy from them again or recommend them to anybody!

Pros:

not too many...

Cons:

frangrance, burning, time consuming, NO POSITIVE RESULTS, costs more than its worth

i wasted a lot of money and many months believing that proactive's promise of clear skin would eventually come through. day and night, i followed their program religiously and i NEVER saw results. proactive seems to work primarily for people who have only a pimple here or there. it treats pimples, not acne... two totally different things. if you're condition is either moderate (or worse) and/or persistent, then you should see a derm and get some real help. accutane made my skin flawless after two months and the acne never came back. i can't believe i even bothered with silly products like proactive.

Pros:

It's not ridiculously expensive..

Cons:

Everything. Does NOT work.

I tried Proactiv and it made my skin a thousand times worse than it was before. My skin was literally peeling off in chunks, it was humiliating..and not to mention disappointing. I wrote Proactiv about it and they never replied. But nonetheless, I would NOT recommend this product to anyone..EVER!
