Cons:
i have a hard time getting information on the website as far as the other products they sell. i can not seem to look through a full product catalog?
i had beautiful skin until i turned 19....then bam! my skin was a mess! ive been to several dermatologists over the past 17 yrs. only to have very tramatizing experiences followed by temporary relief. i not only have "normal" acne, i also have cystic acne.i have tried every acne line under the sun, from drug store finds to top of the line. 3 yrs ago this past march my husband of 11yrs urged me to go back on proactiv. he stated - and he was 100% correct - that my skin has never been as clear and flawless as it is when i am using proactiv.after a week & 1/2 to 2 weeks of using the line as instructed my skin began to clear.now i can not only run to the store minus the war paint - i can hold my head up high, smile & make eye contact with my clients or whom ever else i happen to meet. using proactiv has made my world a happier place be!

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Cleared discolorations
Cons:
Skin oily all day
breakouts worse
I have used Clinique Acne system before and it really worked for me. I also used the Better than Ever Skin Corrector which I love. I have been using the acne system this time since July and my acne is worse than ever. My forehead is a map of blackheads and scars. I also have pimples on my neck,cheeks and chin. They seem to last longer at least a week and then the new pimples and blackheads are there to take their place. It's really frustrating and discouraging. I am using as directed but it's just not working. I didn't have breakouts like this in high school. I thought that at 32 I wouldn't have to worry about acne but I was WRONG!!!!!

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
None
Cons:
Burned
Did not work. PERIOD.
This product promised clear skin in a week; faithful to this product, I did NOT see results, my skin only got worse and my face burned. I am very discouraged. I am canceling my graduate photos due to my face's condition. Thought I could depend on this product. Don't make the same mistake that I did.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Gel formula
Absorbed well by skin
Feels light on skin
Cons:
Non.e
I live in a humid climate and this BP works wonders because it dries fast, something that my Clinique Acne Solutions didn't do (it would take about 15 minutes to dry). But the Acne.org BP dries in 2 to 3 minutes, but of course I wait a while to apply my moisturizer afterwards to make sure the skin absorbs most of it.
LOVE IT!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The only good thing from this product is that it works quickly while you keep using it.
Cons:
Once you stop using it your acne comes back terribly.
Overall this product was no good. I mean it's good if you keep using it like forever until your acne is completely gone. On the other hand if you cannot afford to buy it every 3 months or so you just shouldn't even try it out because it'll make your face worse than when you started. It also makes your face extremely dry, to the point where you can't even move it, and it starts to peel. Probably because of all the harsh chemicals put into this product thats definitely not for sensitive skin. Before using Proactiv I only had very light acne, just around my forehead but after I used it and stopped my acne came back like crazy. I got big red pimples all over both of my cheeks in which I never had acne before. I regret ever using this product.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
cleanser also works as a microdermabrasion
helps with cystic acne along jawline
Cons:
monthly shipments
expensive
i've tried so many different products and have been warned that over age 40 proactive is too harsh for my skin..... however, this is the only product that dries up my cystic acne quickly and keeps it from returning.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Gentle, feels nice
Cons:
Barely works, not the *best* smell
Bottom line. It didn't work hardly at all for me. I saw the commercial and got so psyched that "this was the one." Well - no it wasn't. I've used it for like 4 months now and see the SLIGHTEST difference in my skin, if any. It really didn't work for me....unfortunately. Proactiv isn't all it's talked up to be.

Not sure how well it is exactly may take four days per pimple to go away
I might need more time but so far small results are showing but they are there i guess

Product used: MaxClarity (Foaming Wash)
Pros:
For me?
none.
I gave it a fare shot for quite a few months but this product is not worth the price.
Cons:
It made it a little better for a while and then it made my acne worse. Way worse. The cans suck. I had to keep throwing them out after just a few weeks!
Don't buy it. It will be a waste of your time and money.
Pros:
it is the only acne line i have ever used that has actually cleared my acne!
