Pros:

Clears up skin overnight. Reduces acne very much.

Cons:

Dries skin a lil bit

I use it every night. I put a lot on and it reduces the size of my acne very much. It also seems to be helping with my scars. Doesnt dry my skin as much as other products

Pros:

Easy to use. Cleared up my acne quite nicely. It took three months of dilligent use to get it all to go away, but it worked. And it is still working four months later. Seven months of improved and maintained skin!

Cons:

Increasing the amount you use is neccesary. I have to coat my face like crazy with the stuff. So needless to say I go through a lot of the bottles. Drying can happen if I'm not careful with returning the moisture back to my skin.

I would totally recommend the product if you are looking for a good benzoyl peroxide lotion. It works well with my skin.

Pros:

Cleared skin up, maintained skin clear.

Cons:

Addicting. Once I stopped using it, it's like my face NEEDED it....I broke out...more than I ever have. Aside from that it does bleach bed and bath linens.

Over all, I liked using this product. It helped maintain my face clear.

Pros:

Works great

Cons:

A bit expensive and the benxoyl peroxide bleaches out bed and bath linens. Beware.

I started using this product in my 40's due to cystic acne that never went away. I am still using it at age 53 and love the skin care regimen. It seems when I get breakouts they are in areas where I do not apply the product, such as right along the hairline, in nose creases or on the bottom of my chin. It really works when applied.

Pros:

cleared up my skin right away! my skin looks better and feels better!
I feel it is VERY affordable

Cons:

sometimes I feel a little bit of burning and it dried out my neck.

So many people have said that proactive is expensive but have you ever bought anything other that a face wash from a drug store? go to any salon or department store and just try to beat this price! I have spent much more money on many, many other product! This product works better and is cheaper!!!!!!

I've tried a lot of different things to clear up my skin. I've tried salicylic acid, retin-a, differin, etc... This is much more effective at clearing up bumps and does it with less redness and irritation. I'm 30 with somewhat stubborn blemishes (small), but this helps
