Pros:

None

Cons:

So long to put on.

After proactiv I just did nothing. I just washed my face with cold water before I went to bed. I didn't put anything on my face and it has cleared up great. I eat all the foods I want to eat. Didn't look in the mirror either. Didn't drink that much water. Proactiv just makes your skin irritated. Just accept your face and it will clear up. Just try it for two week and it will work.

Pros:

None. Did not see any results, all it did was dry my face even with a moisturizer.

Cons:

Expensive.
Does not work.
Waste of time & money.

Everything you see on TV is false advertisement. The celebrities get paid to say these things to get people to buy the product and I think it's so ridiculous. Shame on you, proactive.

Proactiv does not work. After four weeks of following the twice per day regimen there was no improvement in my skin. Worst of all, I received more of the product by mail even though I did not order it. Their online ordering has a hidden club membership that automatically places your name on a list so that every few weeks you receive more of their product. They automatically bill you for the product you didn't order, plus shipping and handling. Artificial celebrity endorsements, no-results products, and mail order fraud. Proactiv is something to stay away from!

Pros:

There are no pros to this. Before I started using proactiv I had just a little acne, now I it's so much worse than before.

Cons:

It doesn't work.

This product must only be for famous people because it doesnt seem to work for anyone else. I only had acne in my t-zone and it really wasn't all that bad. Now, I have acne all over my face. I tried to talk to one of the sales people, but they told me to give it time. I did and it diddn't work. It made it worse.

Cons:

This product is very expensive and made my much worse.

this prouct is aweful. The products that are available from the company are all expensive. I used the product for over 3 months and all it did was made my acne way worse and made my entire face very uncomfortable. Then the company states that you can return the items and get a full refund, THAT'S NOT TRUE. When I sent the new months "non opened" bottles back stating that I was returning the new nonused proudcts back because it was making my acne worse they only refunded my $19.95 back when I paid $45.00 for the products. I wrote the company telling them that they refunded me the incorrect amount inwhich they stated that's what the return dept had in the computer so that's all that I was getting refunded back to me.

Pros:

In my experience, there have been NO "pros" to useing this system.

Cons:

Where do I begin? Expensive, ineffective, damaging, etc.

When I ordered proactiv I got very mild acne. Mostly hairline pimples and occasional chin zits. Proactiv felt nice at first, but then it started to make me get zits in places I had NEVER had problem skin before (along the sides of my cheeks... outwards from my mouth... the space in between my nose and my lip. I finally decided that this system was not working for me. Instead, I bought some spectro jel and some Yon-Ka moisturizer for sensitive skin in the hopes of healing and soothing my burning skin... now... like many of the other reviewers, I have a painful rash on my cheeks. It looks like acne, but it is really just raised, red and painful marks along the side of my face. I only stopped the system this past week, so I'm hopeing that this is a reaction to a change in product and won't be long-term. I'm scared from reading the other reviews that it will be. If you value your skin, please do not buy this product. It is not only a scam, but it can actually DAMAGE your skin.
