Pros:

Works great with the acne.org regimen! It seems to be doing the job good b/c 100% clear

Cons:

it is a bit expensive and you have to order it. And if i find it at one of those Proactiv boothes in the mall then it is more expensive.

I love it and thinks Dan needs to move this as the recommended product for his regimen.

Pros:

This really doesn't have a great consistency for the regimen. Easy to spread and apply.

Cons:

I'd said Proactiv is pricey, but I can't complain about that since I had three months worth given to me by a friend.

I think it's better than plain BP if you can get your hands on it alone, since BP is going to be drying at least at first. So it offers a little more moisture, even my oily skin needs the extra moisture. Not to mention, it's oil-free. I'm glad to have three months supply of this stuff so I can use it instead of just plain BP. Of course this lotion is going to be drying as others stated, but that's because it's BP! haha. But like I said, it's nice to have around if you have it because it's a moisturizer too. Although, I cleanse, use Proactiv Repairing Lotion, and I still use a dry skin lotion after this.. and I have EXTREMELY oily skin, but BP dries me out. So never underestimate the power of moisture when you're using BP.

Pros:

Does work with consistancy. I started breaking out on my forehead pretty bad a while back, proactive got rid of it. I find it works best when you use alot of the repairing lotion.

Cons:

Dries out your skin. Over priced.

Over all this product works well for me. Does work. Makes your skin look way better, evens skin tone, gets rid of acne. I know for some people i know it didnt work as well asit does for me, but it IS worth a try.

Pros:

I have been using the reparining lotion and the results are OK. No major breakouts for the past two weeks-a big improvement from a new blemish everyday.

Cons:

It did take a while to start working (almost two months) and I have to be consistent. My skin is very flaky and sensitive now.

With the advice from this site, my skin has been better. Another BP product might have the same result.

Pros:

It got rid of a few zits.

Cons:

SUCKS! I thought it was a lotion! Why, then, would it make my skin dry, flaky and itchy? Don't use this.

Horrible. HORRIBLE

Pros:

A bit of initial clearup

Cons:

Took no time at all for my skin to get immune, and became useless. I literally stopped washing my face altogether for a week to the same results as the three step Proactiv

Pretty much useless, to me. WAY overpriced, did no good.

Pros:

you can say you use such a well known brand (thats about all i can think of)

Cons:

it is expensive, it drys out your skin without getting rid of acne, there are alot of steps that ultimately do nothing

It is good if you have the occasional pimple on your face but rubbish for acne sufferers and teenagers with alot of oil.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Expensive. Made me break out so bad, I quit using it. Am now using tretinoin and it has saved me from the damage Pro Active caused.

Some people just don't have good results from benzoil peroxide. I'm 36 yrs old. I have tried everything. This product may work for some people, but not at all for me. I broke out in areas that I never usually have problems with.

Pros:

-It really works! It dries up your pimples and speeds up the healing process.

Cons:

-It removes the pimples but it leaves scars. It also gives this unbelievable itchiness.

The lotion makes it veeerryyy itchy but if you have self control, it's bearable. I noticed a pimple growing two days ago and so I applied the lotion for two consecutive nights. Right now, it's still there but it is on its late stages. I use this with ProActiv Renewing cleanser (WHICH IS THE BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED!) and proactiv toner.
