Pros:

It works like a miracle for me

Cons:

none

It bleaches the pimple to dry it out and make it your natural skin tone. though it does not actually bleach so that it makes the area white. but if you use it over your full face then it will make it lighter

Pros:

It actually work.. most of the time

Cons:

It smells really bad , not something you could wear out

It does work for me 80% of the time Although the directions say to keep it on for 5 minutes then rinse it off i just dab it on the spot i need it on & keep it on over night

Pros:

i used this product at night.First i wash my skin with a face wash, then i dab my face to dry it.I put on the mask for about 10-15 minutes, wash it off and dry my face again, then use the renewing toner and repair lotion, and put mask on overnight

Cons:

My main con is how small the container is for the price

it works good. i Used to have really bad acne and i tried everything to get rid of it.I thoroughly washed my face in the shower but that didn't seem to do anything. Recently i tried to wash my face and try the mask for 10-15 minutes and then thoroughly rinse my face, and dry my face, but i dab dried it, i didn't rub it or it could irritate my skin. after that i put on the renewing toner and then the repairing lotion. i waited a little bit for that to dry, then i put on the refining mask and rubbed it on the more severe acne and i left it there overnight while i slept. After about 3-4 days i noticed dramatic results. My advice is...don't try spending a lot of money on all those acne treatments. Just make sure you wash your face daily in the morning, and then again at night. Follow my steps and you can see much better results. I hope my information helps.

Pros:

I have no Pros. First time I used the product, the third step, I wiped my hands in a green towel, left the bathroom, when I came back the product bleached the towel. So I discontinue using it. If it bleaches the towel then what is it doing to my face

Cons:

And I have no cons, but sometimes I use the mask overnite, and thats the only product in the kit that works for me.

Some acne kits are not for everyone. I even tried Murad acne treatment, and saw no results. But the product burns liikkeee hhheeellll. Oh my gosh, it hurts. So I had to stop that too. With my kind of skin, my best result was at a dermatologist office. So find wats best for U

Pros:

works good maybe not the best thing but i would still recommend it

Cons:

It takes time for my skin to clear out with the mask.I only use the mask from Proactiv because i had a bad experience with the rest of the kit

depending on your skin it will work perfectly fine.

Pros:

Works pretty good. It doesnt COMPLETELY get rid of the zit overnight but it does extract redness from it. Try it.

Cons:

Its in a pretty small bottleish container thing.
Takes some time for skin to get used to, just like the whole 3 step Proactiv thing.

-takes redness out -takes some time for it to work -a little expensive for such a small container -Not that great. Try other spot treatments.

Pros:

works really well! sulfur is the only thing that works for me and this one beats out all the rest out there! doesn't smell bad for a sulfur acne product, there are much worse smelling ones out there! works for the occasional pimple when used at night

Cons:

really expensive when you buy it from a kiosk...i don't buy the whole kit because it's way too harsh for my skin. however, it lasts a really long time (2 years for me) when used as a spot treatment or occasional mask. definitely worth it in the end!!

i definitely recommend this to anyone who is trying to find a product that actually dries up pimples fast and absorbs excess oil without drying out the skin. plus, if it doesn't work, you can always return it without any hassle.

Works well. I saw results after the first use really.

Works great.

Pros:

"Proactiv not only keeps my skin acne-free, it leaves my skin glowing, vibrant and fresh. I love this stuff!"

Cons:

Takes a little bit of time to apply.

It has been about 6 years since my first application of Proactiv. Using it consistently helps me to keep my skin clear. I know that when I wake up the next morning my skin's going to be fresh and it's going to be clean and that's why I use Proactiv. Being a celebrity doesn't stop acne from popping up, but this does: Proactiv

Pros:

- feels cool and calming

Cons:

DID NOT WORK AT ALL FOR ME but proactive 3 step system is working well. left redmarks on my face after i took it off
ON THE SPOT from Neutrogena is MUCH more effective

My face doesnt really react to sulfur. So U Need to try this product yourself. I mean look at the feedback on this thing. its crazy!! looks like it works for 90 PERCENT of people. Good luck guys
