February 10, 2007

Pros:

cleaning the skin very deeply and preventing pimpels and spots.

Cons:

Haven't experienced cons yet! Only, it doesn't smell that good and its a bit expensive. But who cares about that, IT WORKS! So use it!

For everyone who has pimpels and acne its a good treatment.

Pros:

It really does clear the skin!

Cons:

Smell and small quantity for expensive price

People who want to reduce the look of acne should definately use this. Even if your face looks so oily like you could cook a damn egg on it, proactive reduces the look of this greatly. Strongly recommended!

I was about 14 years when i noticed that acne was affecting all over my face. I used many products before proactiv,but all in vain.I got the results what i was longing for from proactiv. The 3-step acne system showed me the way how to get rid of pimples. I am satisfied and recommended to my friends to use it too.

Pros:

-Reduces size of acne

Cons:

-Dries skin out
-Hard to remove
-Takes a while to work
-Irritates my skin

I really don't like this stuff because of the reasons above. It dries out my face and causes a lot of redness to my very sensitive skin, it's hard to remove, and when you do remove it requires so much friction that it irritates my skin even further. More than that, it takes a while to work, I normally see results in about a week.

Pros:

Amazing spot treatment

Cons:

smells
burns skin
dries you out extremely
hard to get off
have to leave on for 10-15 mins

I am on day three of proactiv and wondering so much. Again today it was hard to get off my face, it smells so bad (main ingredient sulfur), and now I can't wash again until my skin goes back to normal. My skin feels rough from using it for the 2nd time. If this is normal please tell me. I am totally clueless to anything acne especially proactiv.

Pros:

Love this stuff
Makes open zits smaller faster
Easy to use
Get alot out of that tiny bottle!

Cons:

Hard to buy when not buying whole kit
Doesn't eliminate acne really.

It's a great spot treatment, probably best i've ever used.. but it isn't meant to be used alone because it won't get rid of your acne! I used to use proactiv but now I use Dan's regimen because it's cheaper/better so it's hard to get just the mask! But it is a great spot treatment like I said!

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
February 27, 2009

Pros:

works great with oily skin, reduces bumps, works well as a spot treatment

Cons:

the smell, but hey, it works. thats got to count for something

I use the whole 3 step treatment along with the mask and my sking has cleared considerably. Skin stays clear almost all the time expect except once in a while i breakout.
February 22, 2009

Pros:

It helped a little.

Cons:

When i used it to dry out more then one zit it burned my face. It left giant red welts on my face. It also made my breakout much worse.

This may work, but i would not use it if you have the least bit of sensitive skin. I also wouldn't use it because it scars.

Cons:

Fragrance is gross (very strong). may cause dry skin .

It works great!
