Pros:

Cleared skin quickly.
Gentle yet affective.
Works well at reducing redness and minimizing blemish size.
Good customer service and consistent shipping.

Cons:

Dries out skin.
It works for the first few months but then u become used to it and it stops working as well as it used to.
Expensive!
The bottles run out quickly, they say use a pea size amount for your whole face! That's impossible!

Proactive did wonders for me at first but eventually it doesn't work as well anymore. It is very expensive and you run out easily but it's worth trying.

Pros:

Works amazingly. Its clears up acne just use it on a regular basis.

Cons:

Dries out your face if you use it more than 2 times a day.

This is an amazing product. AS long as you use it right it should work for you. You break out when you first start to use it but that eventually goes away. Its just cleaning out your pores and working with your skin. IT is an amazing product and I would stronly recommened this.

Pros:

skin looked awesome in 3 weeks, & I had really bad acne! $20/month is so worth it. The mask is awesome & the green tea lotion is the best. The make-up, OMG it's fantastic!!! I can change my kit to 2 or 3 cleansers whenever I need to get some extra

Cons:

If you scrub too hard when you use the cleanser, the toner burns. The "initial breakout" is awful-cust serv for Proactiv says that it cleans from the inside out, so it brings everything out when you start using it-but the mask works during that time

Better than Accutane, Murad (which is just the Proactiv gentle system at a way jacked up price), and all the ---cycline products out there. Any possible issue you could have with your skin, from dryness to oiliness to extra breakouts, Proactiv can fix! And, if your skin gets used to the regular kit, they can put you on a different formula so that your skin doesn't freak. Then, like the cherry on top, you can try EVERYTHING they have & if you don't dig it, you can get your money back. I would recommend this to everyone, it is seriously the best product I have ever used.

Pros:

Works very fast.
Simple and minimum steps.
Leaves your skin feeling soft.

Cons:

Would sting for those who over scrub with the exfoliator. A little pricey but worth it.

There's certainly no quick and permanent fix when it comes to acne. People complain about how after not using a product, they're bombarded with more acne. I'd compare it to losing weight. You's stick with a regime then decide to give yourself a week off from working out to rewarding yourself with treats. Lo and bwhold, you've just gained all that weight back. I suffered from uneven skin tone and very painful acne on my face during my younger years. When i finally gave Proactiv a try, it made me feel normal like everyone else Sure some would find the product pricey but it's how well you portion your dosage. Remember, the kit is a 2 months supply. That's why the price is set at that. In a matter of days, people complimented on how my skin condition was improving, and i had never felt so good about myself. After years of using this product, i have maintained keeping the acne at bay. I'd recommend not to subscribe to this product if you're a first time user, and just buy the products individually if you're worried about what others say when they try to unsubscribe.

Pros:

Works quickly while removing acne and clearing away blackheads and scarring

Cons:

The smell is terrible! It's like playdoh and sulfer. Leaves the skin looking oily or leaves it very dry

Proactive is a great product, but the smell makes it hard to use it every day. The sulfer smell is in the toner, and can make your eyes water like crazy. It does shrink and remove acne, but if you have a very sore acne spot, the pain won't disappear as fast as the apperance of the acne. I like the mask though, that's excellent.

Pros:

My skin looks much better, even my blackheads are gone now! Fragrance is not bad. Skin feels softer and smoother than it ever has!

Cons:

All of my pillowcases are white now!

Proactiv has worked great for me and I will continue to use this product. I have always been embarrassed about my skin and now I don't even have to wear makeup!

Pros:

proactive offered a "extra strength kit" that works fine. agents on the phone know what there doing (good customer service), you can order anything you want in there catalog for ur next shipment and the price will stay the same as long as its 3 thing

Cons:

skin did become emune to reg formula. i guess kits are sent out every in 2mnth supplys at 39.90 + 5.99 s&h but if you divide that in half thats still 19.95 a mnth + S&H i just wish they told me they we going to do that.

worked for the first six months, my skin kinda became emune to it. was very angry called proactive they refunded the money for the last kit and then sent me a free extra strength kit which worked fine, now that's what i use.

Pros:

I was having a hard time with my skin all of a sudden my senior year. Proactive really helped my skin get better. I had tried putting oatmeal on my face which helped a while but quit.

Cons:

It drys the face the first few weeks of use, but I guess thats normal. I had to use an additional moisturizer.

Use the product everyday and night..The moisturizer is so smooth to me. It stopped constant breakouts that other products and remedies didnt do. I also used Philosophy Clear acne treatment..I thought Proactive did a better job though. Now I cut a lemon and squeeze the juice out and smooth it on my face with a soft towel if I miss a day of use it helps with breakouts. Just make sure to use the lemon at night if you try it. Also use the Proactive treatment at night religiously.

Been using it for about 10 years....Thought I would share some tips I've learned: 1. Do NOT keep or use the cleanser in the shower. It dilutes it and becomes less effective 2. When you wash your face, scrub for at least a minute. I started doing this and noticed immediate results. 3. Try the advanced bleminsh stuff...it is my miracle cream 4. Use twice a day EVERY DAY or it will not work 5. Take of makeup before washing your face. I like the neutrogena make up remover cloths. this is HUGE Hope that helps
