Pros:

Clears up mild to moderate acne.

Cons:

Very drying on older skin.

It is the best over the counter product I have used. Have suffered with acne since I was 13 and am now 38 and have tried everything. The sensitive line worked better for my skin type. It was much less drying and still worked well. If you don't use all three steps everyday you will still breakout.

Pros:

it does feel like the pimples are going down

Cons:

extremely dry and sore
wearing makeup does not do anything because you're face is so dry. Looks flaky and doesn't give you any coverage from make ups.

i've used this product last year for two or three weeks and gave up because it made my face soo dry, around my nose and my mouth. Naturally w/o the help of proactiv, my face did clear up but after using the wrong foundation from chanel, pimples started to come back on my face so bad. Never broke out like that ever. After talking to my friends about it - i decided to give proactiv another go. All my friends had great results from using proactiv (they all have extremly oily skin but I'm combination). You're meant to use it once a day for the first week and twice a day after the first week - didn't know that before and used it as much as I can - and I'm trying my best to stick to the plan. I have severe acne on my face, and yes it does feel like it is going down a little (small pimples on the side of my eyes seemed to go down). And i'm still in my first week. I'll have to use it for a longer time to see the "success" of proactiv.

Pros:

it was average

Cons:

proactive did not give me a refund. When I called them after a month of returning it, they say they have not received it. Also, the company did not send me the free mask they offered after I sent them pics of my acne and the form too.

The company is dishonest. They pretend they have too many callers and say they would phone u back within 24hrs. I did not get a phone call back and I'm sure I didn't miss it because I was home.

Pros:

I love this product. My skin was usually very oily and looked dirty all of the time. My chin had pimples everywhere and dark marks from where pimples used to be. Two weeks of using this product, my skin was no longer oily and the dark marks faded awa

Cons:

In the beginning your skin is very dry and peeling. After 2 weeks, your skin get used to the product and the peeling stops. Most people stop using the product because of the peeling, but if you stick with it, you will notice a big change. Trust me!

Buy it and stick with it. IT REALLY WORKS!!!!

Pros:

Cleanser leaves face feeling fresh
toner moisturizes nicely

Cons:

Repairing lotion leaves skin feeling oily
Only maintains skins clarity for a short while, almost become immune to the product

I have moderate acne around my mouth and chin. I began proactive solution 2 years or so ago and at first i loved it! It made the texture of my skin amazing, smooth and clean feeling. Then all of the sudden it just seems to take a drop. It stopped working. I no longer see any improvement, not getting worse but no better either. I feel as though proactive is too harsh and over time you experience the side effects from the harsh chemicals used in it. I just ordered some murad so hopefully that works.

Pros:

love the cleanser - good light exfoliation on a daily basis.
also like the acne lotion - absorbs well and doesn't feel heavy.
refining mask really does work - they just don't show you on TV that it is white so only use it at home!

Cons:

don't get this stuff anywhere near your eye areas unless you like severe skin irritation. When I do my eyelids get super red and swollen. The toner is only ok - I prefer Clinique 2 or 3 toner, which I can really see get the oil and dead skin off.

I've been using it for about a month and a half. it was totally an impulse buy in the Las Vegas airport when we got snowed in mid-Dec 08. I got it from a machine so paid way too much - the tv offers are way cheaper for first time users. I've had oily skin my entire life - you know how that goes I'm sure. So far this works pretty well. I had been having a good breakout or major zit on a monthly basis and haven't had one since starting this. It's a pretty easy program to follow and hopefully when refill time comes I can skip the toner which I find ineffective. No it hasn't dramatically improved my skin, but my skin also wasn't as bad as those women on tv - no entire areas of bumps for me. What it has done is stopped the breakouts, and even when minor zits appear that mask they mention on the ad really does work in a day or two. It has sulfur as it's active ingredient so it just sucks the oils dry, unlike benzoil peroxide creams which you can cake on but the oil may keep coming.

Pros:

My skin took longer to clear up but after about 4 months it is perfectly clear with the occasional pimple

Cons:

It is very cold (-40) on most days and is not humid so my skin got slightly dryer

Great product just remember to continue using even if you do not see great results in a week.
