Pros:

Worked really great. My skin had never been this clear and I used it every other day.

Cons:

Caused chronic sinusitis and eventually severe allergic reactions to benzol peroxide and salacylic acid.

The product is great for most people but since I'll never be able to use it again, it wasn't worth the six months of my life it took away with doctors and treatments. Now I'll only trust a dermatologist rather than a faceless company that gives no warnings about the possible consequences for taking their product. I was only checking for dryness, redness, flaking not facial inflammation and pain!

Pros:

The product does work for me but it will not be a miracle. Your acne did not form overnight and its not going to go away overnight either. It took me about a month and a half for all of my acne to go away.

Cons:

It is a little bit pricey.

It will take TIME for this product, or any product to work. You must be patient and use it for at least a month or two.

Pros:

It works well if you know how to apply it to your face.

Cons:

Nothing much.

It IS perfect for people who have oilly skin! Really, put alot on your face not a pea sized amount because really it will not work if you use a little. It works by using micro-sized sponges that absorb excess oils and keeps your skin to a moderate oilness.

Pros:

It helped clear up my acne

Cons:

i can only use it alone, and not with the system. I use different face products and this BP

Its great but don't get the entire system because the bp and harsh chemicals in all the products screw up your skin. Use gentle products or natural products in conjunction with the ProActive BP. Overall its a great BP By itself

Pros:

keeps acne away, doesn't dry out my skin

Cons:

really expensive $28 a bottle at the mall kiosk

I love this stuff, I use it with dans clear skin regimen. I used to use dans BP gel and it works very well to. But the difference for me it the proactiv BP is more moisturizing and my skin stays more supple with it compared to dans, they however for me both work equally well at keeping acne away. I used to use the whole proactiv system but just using the proactiv bp with dans regimen works better for me, I also use %100 pure sweet almond oil the NOW brand after I wash my face and before bp and this has made a huge difference in my skin, more supple, even toned and glowing. My Regimen is: 1-Wash with dans face wash, pat face dry 2-Put 6 or 7 drops sweet almond oil in my palm and rub gently into my skin, wait a couple minutes 3- use a small amount of proactiv BP smooth on face gently, wait a couple minutes 4- use a small amount Lachydrin-5 moisurizer The results clear, beautiful, even toned, supple skin
