Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Nothing
Cons:
Ruined my complection
I began using the proactiv about a year ago. I didnt have severe acne or really acne at all. I used it for the occasional pimple here and there. I used as directed though. I quit using it as I saw no difference. Days later I began getting what is referred to as cystic acne my dermatologist said. These are gigantic pimples/Cysts underneath the skin that get no white or black head so they cant be easily popped. They are the worst to try to get rid of. She said it was caused by my skin getting used to the proactive system. When I stopped it basically ruined my skin. I had a nice complection. This is the worst thing Ive ever done. Great marketing scheem Proactiv.

first week, my complexion was so clear. My skin is also very soft.

DRIED OUT SKIN!!! flaky and YUCK! Be prepared to spend more than the monthly fee. Refining mask was great, but when it ran out, the pimlpes came back slowly.My complexion may be clear but my forehead shines and I still have my pimples and I've been u
If pimples aren't frustrating enough, Proactiv could add more stress induced pimples. Please think twice and do research before commiting to this.

Works great.
