Pros:

WORKS AMAZING!!

Cons:

Did not remove pimple completely, but it definitely showed signs of dissappearing right after it began to come in. The redness was gone, and it looked to be drying out.

Buy it. But not from Proactiv...they seem to rip people off. Buy it from amazon or ebay. Mine was $16.95!!!

Pros:

It actually does clear your skin if your CONSISTENT with it. YOU MUST put it on 2x a day everyday if you want it to work.

Cons:

It will irritate your skin the first couple times you use it but after that, your skin will get used to it and the irritation will seize. & it takes a lil time to put all 3 steps on, but if you di it youll get clear.

it works. the key is consistency.

Pros:

It works. The only thing that has ever worked for me. Tried the whole kit. The rest of the kit sucks - burned and wrinkled my skin.

Cons:

Have to order online. Apply leave on 15 mins as directed then wipe off with warm water. Face is beautiful after but keep away from eye area.

I use it three times a week for maintenance. I have never had anything else worked. I have had acne for over 15 years and have tried everything. This is the only stuff that I would recommend.

it doesnt work as well as the commercials say it does, but it still is the best thing out there!

BOTTOM LINE IS THAT IT WORKS.

Pros:

~Redness and size of zits/pimples are SOMEWHAT reduced if used correctly.

Cons:

~It is hard to get off of your face after it has dried on pretty well.
~I would not recommend this especially to people with ezcema, as I have it and it dries my skin out significantly even with the use of moisturizers.

Okay product, but doesn't magically get rid of your acne overnight like what is claimed.

Pros:

Dries out small pimples
Reduces oil

Cons:

When I leave it on overnight, it's hard to wash off in the morning, and i have to rub it really hard and that irritates my skin.
Also makes my skin extremely dry.

Doesn't work extremely well at all for me... but my skin's unique so it might work better for you.

Pros:

-Helped with initial breakouts.

Cons:

-Left hyperpigmented marks after acne/pimples are gone.
-Dryness

Ordered it with the Proactiv solution and tried it first by applying it for a few minutes. Continued with no results. Eventually tried leaving on overnight, caused pimples to dry up and are usually gone within 2 days. However, left redmarks.

Pros:

Best acne product i ever had. Shows results after 1-3 days. Pretty good.

Cons:

Not the best smell. When im sleeping, it gets all over my pillow and stuff since i move around in bed. This probably effected the result. xP. It works for small pimples, the big ones take a little bit more time.

Good product. Gives good results. Worth it for sure!

Pros:

Lovely product. I was highly skeptical about proactiv but it works better than anything I've tried. The mask is excellent for slowing down break outs, and is great to help clear up your skin faster. It's also soothing, and doesn't seem too overdrying

Cons:

I'm very inspired by nature, and it has chemicals, but it works. The smell? I've read bad things about it, but I think it all smells clean and refreshing. =D Also the only thing about the mask is it takes an effort to get all of it off.

It works better than anything I've used. I started having acne problems around the early age of 10. I've tried accutane (NEVER EVER USE IT, IT'S HORRIBLE FOR YOUR BODY. I was on it for about two months, and I said this is horrible for me. NO WAAY), all different types of natural remedies, acnexus (was great for exfoliation and that is all) and more. I'm still taking antibiotics w/ it. Proactiv is simple, and it works. Once my skin is completely cleared I will SLOWLY wean my skin off of it. Just so I can use natural remedies that are good for the skin.

Pros:

It works excellent! The stench is from the sayticlic acid which smells like eggs :(. i leave on for 15 min and it works better

Cons:

Overnight treatment wipes on my bed, since I roll around alot and it has little result.

Overal it is very good best ive ever tried that hasent burnt my skin, it has just enough benzoil peroxide in the whole kit and excellent satilic acid content in the mask
