Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
Then it stops working and leaves the skin dry, and itchy. It leaves you with worse acne then you had before! This product is not good at all.
Don't waste your money! This product is horrible! I'm tired of the stupid commercials about it!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Smoothens skin, reduces acne, smells nice, it's awesome so far.
Cons:
Costs a ton. They don't really give you much for the price, but I'm desperate for a cure so I will pay anything. As long as it works!
I've been using it for about three days now and I already see a small difference. You have to be consistent with it you guys, otherwise it won't work. I am desperate to find a cure and it seems as if this is the cure. It's very professional. It makes you feel fresh and squeeky clean.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The mask cleared up a couple of pimples overnight like magic and the system was easy to use and potent. The toner and cream were very pleasant and left my skin feeling soft and clean.
Cons:
after two days of use i took a short walk and it just so happened to be sunny. My skin started burning and though it had initially been getting clearer, by the end of the day my skin was covered with blemishes. I only used it for a few more days
i learned that sunscreen is very important with this product. it made my usually normal skin very sensitive. it was the worst i've broken out in my life and it took a long time to clear up. My roommate still used it though and she's never had a problem. Im very outdoorsy and usually don't wear sunscreen and previously had very normal skin. though it had a great first impression it changed my skin drastically and still it's more sensitive than it's been my whole life. it just wasn't for me. but i know and have seen it do wonders on others.
