Pros:

It smoothes out your face.

Cons:

It did not work at all for my occasional pimples. It made the area on my chin even worse with deep irritation. Took about a week for it to clear up.

I would try this product if you are one of the "last resort" kind of people. If you are the occasional breakout, try the clearskin line from Avon, or Clinique. Both are less harsh on the skin.

Pros:

Got rid of the blackheads within the first few days.

Cons:

Pretty much didn't do anything else. It overdried, which wouldn't have bothered me if it had actually worked. My acne wasn't that severe to begin with, so I thought it'd work well, but I guess not--if anything, it's worsened slightly.

I'd say try it, and if you're one of those special people for whom it miraculously works, then more power to you. But if it's not working like it's supposed to within the first few days, then I'd try something else.

Pros:

Nothing!

Cons:

Makes acne worse...

Bottom line is this; do not buy this product. I started using it b/c I sometimes have that occasional pimple. I have never had three or more at a time on my face. Now that I have starting using this product my face is covered with them!!! I can't even look in the mirror. In addition to this, it makes your skin feel stretched and gross. I think this product might only be good for those people with excessive oily skin. I recently landed a great job and was hoping that this "miracle" product would get rid of those random minor pimples. Instead, it made eveyrthing worse! Please don't buy it, or if you have it and are doubting it, return it. It was a waste of time and money!

Pros:

help some people, their money-back guarantee is easy to use

Cons:

expensive, doesn't work for everyone

It helped a friend of mine but unfortunately did not help me. In fact, it made the problem much worse. It might be worth trying since some people swear by it and they are good about returning your money if you send it back after two months.

Pros:

None. It really didn't to anything at all.

Cons:

It's expensive, and since it really didn't work, it was just a waste of money.

I would not buy this again.

Pros:

Certainly not many, it didn't really help at all.

Cons:

IT dried my skin out and burns without a positive result. It had virtually no effect on my skin at all.

I have severe acne and maybe if you don't u can try this but if tou are like me this product sucks.

Ive been using Proactiv for four months and it seems to ahve just stopped working. It worked for the first 2 weeks, then nothing. I followed all the directions EXACTLY and it still was not worth the money and effort. It was such hastle having to do a 3 step process, because you had to wait for the frist step to dry. I personally wasnt fond of it and am now trying Neutragena Daily Oil Free Gentle Scrub. We'll see how that goes.
