Pros:

nothing

Cons:

Dried my face out and made acne worse, also made my face very sensitive

i've tried everything, the astringent cleansers from wal mart in all honesty work better than the pro activ. It is NOT worth the money.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

I broke out alot more, also found my skin would often be extreemly dry after washing.

I would not buy it again. It works for people who get 1-2 pimples, but so does many cheaper brands.

Pros:

Nice look?

Cons:

Smell bad doesn't really work

I used this product for about 4 months with no results of clear glowing skin like they say it would do in the commercials. It really was a waste of money and it didn't help at all.

Pros:

Easy to use, pretty standard 3 step treatment.

Cons:

It made my acne worse. I was just trying to get rid of a few breakouts around my hairline. Now I am constantly getting a ton of little white zits on my nose and chin that I never had before and are much more noticeable than what I was trying to fix!

From what I've seen, it works great for people with really bad acne. If you just have light acne, it is not for you - everyone who was at the same level of "moderate acne" as me seems to have the same problem with getting much worse acne after using Proactiv.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Smells terrible, expensive, leaves skin dried out and itchy, does not help with acne at all.

I used this stuff for almost a year with no improvment what so ever. I started to break out more often due to the dryness of my skin. I would not recomend this to anyone.
