Pros:

It worked well with my sensitive sink, made it glow, and instead of drying out my skin, it kept it hydrated.

Cons:

I would like it to be a little cheaper, but it's definetley worth it.

I've tried sooo many other ance products. Proactiv Gentle Formula was the only one that worked for me. I have no pimples right now. =) It made me feel so much more confident in my appearance. You really should try it!

Pros:

It worked well with my sensitive skin, it did not over dry it like other medication

Cons:

It made my skin become really red and I never really saw results

So not worth the price

Pros:

Can't think of any

Cons:

-Smells weird
-More breakouts

This didn't work. More breakouts don't use it.

Pros:

It doesn't dry your skin and no "red face" like with the regular formula. This is the only product I have used that really worked. I have only had one small breakout since I started using it and before I started using it I kept a breakout.

Cons:

Little more expensive than others, but the others don't work.

It is worth paying a little extra to get great results. I love it and will contine using it forever.

Pros:

I was using the regular proactive and it was great except little drying. I used it for two weeks it felt and made my skin look great.

Cons:

After two weeks it made my skin worse than ever. I went back to regular proactive for about two weeks know and it's not working for me anymore. I'm very depressed and regreat ever changing my routine.

Don't buy it!

Pros:

??????

Cons:

Made my mild acne the WORST ever. I have stopped using it for over a month now and I am continuing to break out with large, painful, red cysts and bumps. My skin was never like this before. It did not work for me, and now I'm super depressed!

Don't buy this unless you are willing to take the chance of going through a horrible breakout first, which could be lasting!

Pros:

It works. It doesn't dry the skin like the Regular formula does. There's a mild tingly sensation, but it was very refreshing. It doesn't "burn" or irritate my skin. I didn't find the fragrance bothersome. Is NOT that strong. My skin is awesome now!!!

Cons:

Perhaps the price, but it is worth it

To the idiot Alby from Chicago and the other loser in L.A. they are obviously pulling people's legs. If you got so depressed then do us all a favor, jump from the highest building or eat bullets. You obviously deserve it and the world will become a better place when you're gone.
