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:

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:

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 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.

Pros:

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

Cons:

Dries out your skin if you don't moisturize right after washing it off.

Works great.

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 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.

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.
