Work Horse
I use the Proactiv Three Step System, but I think the Repairing Lotion is probably the most important step. I used this for 8 months with terrific results. Then I went off of it because I stopped taking the medication that was making me break out. Unfortunately, I'm on a new medication that plays with my hormones, so I'm breaking out again. I pulled this out and it's working like a charm. My bumps are shrinking, and I'm way less oily. I expect to be blemish free in about 5 weeks.

Pretty awesome cream!!
I think we should trust this product, it is professional and good working cream, I have used this product from long time and I hadn't any bad problems, but it is good for my skin and I prefer it, more than another product, it keeps my skin always healthy and clean, I really like it, thanks.

Pros:

worked at first

Cons:

MAJOR chemical burn, allergic reaction after months of use, now react to ALL benzoyl peroxide in any product. Makes my face puff out and eyes swell shut.

I used the proactiv system for over a year, then one day I noticed my eyes were puffy (and I never put it near my eyes). After stopping use, it is 2 years later and I tried using a different 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel for acne around my mouth and on my jawline. Again, nowhere near my eyes, but my ENTIRE face was swollen the next morning and my eyes looked like they had been through 10 boxing rounds. Swollen for 3 days! I am horribly allergic now, and can't use any benzoyl peroxide at all, anywhere. Will have to stick to AHA or salicylic acid.

Pros:

somewhat lessens acne

Cons:

works ok, but not enough
more hype than results

works better than some, but better off sticking to cheaper products that work better with less hype

Pros:

it got rid of pimples sometimes

Cons:

i ended up just dropping the whole system becasue it dried out my skin and also gave little or no results. very expensive as well.

Pros:

*Clears up blemishes quickly.
*Good consistency.
*You can 'feel' it working.

Cons:

*Intially when first using dries up skin an irritates.
*Rather on the expensive side.

Despite the cost, one of the best acne treatments available! I have used other treatments of B.P. before but I didn't consider them as effective. Skin can be a bit flacky when first using (actually felt like burning for me) but this was kind of reassuring that it was actually working. If you do flake, use an exfoliator as part of your regimen (occasionally) and get a half-decent moisturiser. Tip: Buy the larger 90ml bottles off of ebay; saves money & time. Five stars, two thumbs and all the rest.

Pros:

nice consistency. helps clear up breakouts.

Cons:

leaves skin VERY dry in the winter especially when used two times a day as recommended. Doesn't clear skin all the way, only partially. Smells of sulphur-yuck

too expensive, too smelly. doesn't work much better than cheaper options out there
