Pros:

After using this for 2 weeks, my skin is CLEAR. I can go out without makeup for the first time in YEARS! Plus, it hasn't dried my skin out at all since I started using it!

Cons:

The cleanser has a weird consistency, but it's exfoliating beads are NICE.
-Once you add the price of the Advanced Blemish Treatment and the Refining Mask, it gets more expensive, but it's definitely worth it!

I LOVE proactiv!!! This is how I use it: -In the morning I wash with the cleanser, apply toner and repair lotion, then dot the advanced blemish treatment on to any problem spots. -At night I wash with the cleanswer, apply toner and repair lotion, then dot the refining mask on to any problem spots, let it dry, and sleep in it! Three times a week I use the refining mask like this: -In the morning I wash with the cleanser, then apply the refining mask, let it sit for ten minutes, rinse it off, apply the toner and repair lotion, then dot the advanced blemish treatment cream onto any problem spots. -At night I do my normal routine, using the refining mask as just a spot treatment.

After about the 2nd month the pimples came back in numbers

Pros:

works well with my other acne products. the price is right. The sulfur mask is great!

Cons:

If you are allergic to benzoyl Peroxide-- U SHOULD NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!! IT WILL ONLY MAKE A BAD SITUATION WORSE!!!!

I've been using it for years. I talked a friend into using it and her skin looked terrible. It turns out she is allergic to benzoyl peroxide----and didn't know it. As for me, it has worked far better than any other product (prescribed or otherwise)

Proactiv doesn't work! I tried it when i was 16 and it dried out my skin severely and cause my break outs to get worst..Now 8 years later i decided to give it another go. Wrong decision 3 months before my wedding my face is rediculously scarred and red. I have to go see a dermotologist now! what a waste of money.

Good or bad?
This worked for my younger years, but as I grew older my acne started to change... It stopped working and started causing more breakouts on my face :(

Consistency Pays Off!
Five months ago I was extremely insecure about my acne! Not only did I have it on my face, but on my chest and back as well. It was extremely unnerving and embarrassing. My mom decided one day that finally we would try proactiv and see how it worked. Turns out, for me, it worked miracles!! It took a couple weeks to kick in, but that was expected! It's unreasonable to think it will make a difference the next day. However, while the acne did not disappear straight away, I immediately felt cleaner and just generally better! Every morning I wash my face, back, and chest with the Deep Cleansing Wash, and clean the same areas every night with the Clear Zone Body Lotion and Clear Zone Body Pads. Using Proactiv has become a part of my daily routine and I do not plan on stopping anytime soon! I would absolutely suggest this product to anyone and everyone! It has allowed me to walk taller and feel stronger!

I'm glad it has worked for you But the same happened to me. I had pretty clear skin thanks to proactiv for almost 2 years My acne came back slowly even though I stilled proactiv 2-3 times daily after came acne came back fully I stopped using it altogether and then my acne got even worse. My acne had never been this bad even before proactiv

Good for a little while
I am 15 years old , i have been struggling with acne on my forehead mainly and i didn't know what else to do so i got proactive. Proactive did work really well at first , it cleared up my skin and make it really soft. After awhile my face was getting use to the product, my pimples were coming back. I started using another thing called x out which sorta worked but not really , it irritated my skin and made it dry. I went back on proactive and i see no results , i guess my face just got use to this product and does not want to work anymore

Not even worth one starWORST PRODUCT! Made mine 10Xs worse
For someone who has bad skin all you want is to find a way to make it better to have "dream skin" proactive IS NOT the answer it sucks people in that are desperate to find a solution to the problem, it made my skin red and sore made my skin peel off!!even now I've stopped using it my skin is 10X worse now it's even more sensitive olily AND dry,especially for teenagers it's so hard to feel 100% confident in their own skin more so when they have bad skin,this product drys your skin out and does not prevent bad skin infant makes it worse and can cause all sorts of issues for when you are older all these products that rant about how they are the solution for good skin do this for money do not get sucked in unless you know something will work for you,I'm beyond fed up of all the fauls representation of these types of products it needs to stop as it is just lies
