Pros:

You can buy that personal make-up artist and photo airbrusher you always wanted.

Cons:

Uselessness, cost, smell, Jessica Simpson.

I have NO IDEA why I ever fell for anything advertised on TV by celebrities. This stuff is overpriced garbage. I bought a trial for a few whiteheads on my nose and chin. Next thing I know, I have two HUGE, red, painful lumps on my chin. They have finally come down after several weeks, but have left scars. Proactiv irritates your skin more, causing even more acne then you ever imagined. It is WAY overpriced. Their "trial" is nothing of the sort, but signing onto their never-ending contract. If you don't call and argue with them for a half-hour (not unlike AOL) they will automatically charge you and ship you more of their horrible product. Oh, and returning it is worthless, because after $20 + $6 shipping, they don't reimburse your shipping or give you a prepaid label. So, your minus at least $12, bringing your refund to $8...What a headache! Get some over-the-counter stuff. WAY cheaper and more reliable.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

I used the product twice. My skin dried out quickly. Soon, I started noticing small bumps on my neck. The next day my face was red, dry, hot, and itchy. Then my face got extremely dry and started to peel.

Do not use w/o testing on small portion of skin

Pros:

None

Cons:

Doesn't Work

I tried ProActive for a few months on and off for probably about 3 years. It did nothing. Maybe for a week my acne would slow, but it would come right back the next week. It sucks that I wasted so much money on such a usesless product.

Pros:

smells good

Cons:

it made my face worst,leaving me with more blackheads and whiteheads than ever before. i have tried using other products like Murad (boo!) but it only made my face worst i went to proactive.it seems like my face is used to it and wont accept others.

its frustrating...my face is so dependant on it but yet makes me breakout even more.
