Pros:

Clear my face up. Have beautiful skin and I get compliments alot.

Cons:

Try to stop using it for a while and my face broke out. My face is addicted to it and its hard to get off of it.

Very good product. YOu have to give it time to work on your face. It does dry my face so I use a different face lotion for my face after I wash my face with the proactive cleanser and everything seems fine. The only problem now is if i try to get off proactive, my face will break out.

Pros:

Only stuff that has fixed my acne.

Cons:

Takes a few months to work.

This stuff works for me! But take a few months until I see visible results. But hey that is a lot better then using clearasil and clean and clear. I used clearsil and clean and clear for ages, and never saw results in using there products, proactiv has actually given me completely clear skin. Meaning not a single zit on my face. I have suffer from bad acne. This stuff has been great for me, its worth the money.

Pros:

Well it cleared up my acne and i do get one or two now and then but otherwise my face is pretty cleared.

Cons:

Dries out your skin if you don't moisturize.
Will break you out alot if you don't use it properly or skip a day.

You must use this as directed otherwise it wouldn't work. First after cleansing for a few days your skin will start to feel soft and smooth. But you will likely to breakout 2/3 weeks into the program. After that breakout phrase your skin will start to be clear up. The pimples and red marks will slowly fade away.

Pros:

...sorry to say but...none at all.

Cons:

Sting like hell first time applying it. After 1 hour of using, skin start becoming very oily. Pimples still appear like usual. Skin very red after using for a while, also very dry and start peeling.

Doesn't worth the price at all...and it doesn't work for me. I have oily skin, f.y.i.

Pros:

confedence booster
clean feeling

Cons:

way to expensive and if you stop you break out like crazy!!!!!!!!!

well i have been useing this product for about 5 months and it worked like magic the first 2 months i was soo happy but soon it stoped working i started to break out again it was horrible my mom told me to stop but it only mad it worse once u start useing this product you have to keep useing it even when you have a little pimples left or you will break out and it would be worse than before i think it was a waste of money i wentfrom light to a bit over moderate acne severity. It works for a while the your skin gets prone to it so i dont recomend it but if u think it will help your skin you go buy it.

Pros:

Works fast and well

Cons:

It stops working!

I used Proactive for 3 years, I had perfect skin...my whole family had bad skin. But one day, it totally completely stopped working. I had the worst year of my life trying to find a new system, and my acne is worse then when I started using it

Pros:

It really did leave my skin perfectly clear, porcelain and smooth

Cons:

I wish the results lasted!!

My mom ordered proactive for me in high school after Differin wasn't working. I can honestly say my skin cleared 100% remarkably fast, and was totally smooth and not dry (I have oily skin, this could be why). I didn't even need a stitch of makeup, which has never happened again. But like everyone else says, it is VERY hard to ween yourself off of it; it stops working after a few months because your skin grows used to it. Then you use more in desperation even though you keep getting zits. It's a quick fix, but not a long term cure. The bottle sizes are ridiculous, too. Not worth the expense. Try it if you desperately need a fast improvement (aka a date tomorrow night), it probably will work. But don't rely on it forever!
