Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
in the beginning its sort of hard what to do..i got a bit confused and it said that the renewing cleanser should be massaged for a minute..but less then 30 seconds it already dried up and there was nothing to massage. Dries skin up..good though..
it wasnt like the product i thought it was on the TV...but i have noticed my acne clearing a bit...i have just been usin it a few weeks though. If you want good results..get a lemon or lime and squeeze its juice onto a bowl..then you get a cotton ball and start massaging it softly all over ur face...u get great results...yu can also drink it...but you can't eat anythin for an hour..so it can clean yur skin fast...

Proactive was just another disapointment to me.It did not help my face at all.My face is still the same.I have used the product for a year,I think that I have been patient long enough.

Pros:
smooth and finely milled, not gritty. Perfect % of BP (2.5%) for acne treatment. I like the smell.
Cons:
cant buy it in the store.
it works and absorbs quickly without residue. You can use it with Dan's regimen.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It does work in terms of clear up the skin and clean out the acnes after only two usages.
Cons:
The cleanser is very gritty and I doubt if it actually irritate my skins. It STINGS and BURNS my skin BADLY...I felt the uncomfortness throughout the whole day...
I didn't have terrible acne when I was at early 20's, but just started have serious acne problem two month ago, especially on the forehead. Proactiv does work and I see immediate result, but it really made my skin feel uncomfortable, stings and burns very bad..but hey, if it clean up the skin better any other product, ppl would go for it...

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It seem to work good the first couple of weeks, but then I started getting a few large pimples.
Cons:
It's quite expensive and the repairing lotion makes my 50 year old skin look weird! It's like I have a plastic coating on my face and when I smile, I have lines like a plastic wrap being stretched! I'll go back to Aveeno.
It's not for me. Maybe for someone with younger skin. I will try to find an astringent like theirs, with no alcohol, and use their system- daily cleansing grains, non alcohol astringent and lotion. I guess I learned something from them.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Clears it up for a time like no other medication I have tried.
Cons:
Doesn't last at all and they ship them automatically.
It just doesn't last...that really made me mad. They wanted to continue sending me products and no matter what I did, it just stopped working.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Short term solution
Cons:
Stops working!!!
This product worked great for about the first year and now I'm breaking out again! This is not a solution, only a temporary fix. It's not worth the money because you do not get long term results!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Proactiv really works for me. I spent several years before switching to Proactiv using prescription drugs which were equally expensive but not equally effective. I have recommended Proactiv to several of my friends.
Cons:
Yes, it's very expensive and if I could find a cheaper product, I would use it.
I would highly recommend Proactiv. I had terrible acne before I started using it and now I rarely have more than one or two small blemishes at a time. I was extrememly skeptical before I tried it becuase I had spent so long using prescription drugs to no avail, but it really did work. If you can afford it, I would recommend you try it. And if you find a cheaper substitute, let me know!
