Pros: cleans skin and comes with a lotion to treat already popped up blemishes Cons: dries out skin, cost, and is not effective enough
I did not prefer proactive at all because it dired up my skin and did not prevent my break outs like other product that I have used like Clean and Clear. It died out my skin and left it feeling rough and flcky. The scrub did not have enough scrubers so...

Pros: Gets skin very clean, reduces facial oil. Cons: Can be very harsh, didn't clear up skin, high price.
Since 5th grade I've been plagued with persistent acne. For several years, I used cheaper, drugstore products with little or no results. I constantly told myself that as I got older, it would get better. Unfortunately I was wrong. As I went through...

Pros: Does clear blemish, acne Cons: Very drying, irritating to my skin
I have never had what I would call acne, but I have had a problem with breakouts. I have always used Clean and Clear products, but I started breaking out more often, and it wasn't helping anymore. I read an article on Proactive and thought I'd give it...

Pros: None. Cons: $$$, harsh on skin, offensive odor, EXTREMELY drying
I received mild acne and would get breakouts pretty often, so I decided to give Proactive a try. After seeing wonderful results on a friend with sensitive skin also, I was convinced that this product was for me. When I got my 3-Step program in the ...

Pros: it's not very drying Cons: none yet
Since high school I've had moderate acne. When I was pregnant with my son, I had beautiful, glowing skin, and after I had him, my skin once again went hay wire. About a year later - my skin began to clear up, looking the best it ever has, but I owe...

Pros: Feels wonderful Cons: a little pricey
I started using the proactive system about a year ago. I was 21 and still suffering from acne, but did not want to take the next step of going on Acutane, so my doctor suggested that I try Proactive. All I can say to my doctor is thank you for...

Pros: The only consistent supressor of acne if used religiously. Cons: Price, somewhat inaccessable, inconvenient.
AS a woman of 27 years who has suffered from acne since age 13, I am familiar with the nightmares of hopefulness and disappointment with the areas of skin care. After using everything under the sun that promises results with minimal peeling, drying,...

Pros: Keeps skin from breaking out. Cons: Expensive, especially when buying for more than one person.
I hate the fact that this product is not available for consumer purchase through retail stores at a reasonable price and that the product is chintzy on the amount of cleanser. If they really cared about making clear skin affordable for everyone, they'd...

Pros: Takes only a minute to use, and makes your skin feel healthy Cons: none
My troubles with acne started about 6 months ago. My doctor prescribed a certain medication and a major side effect just happens to be acne. I've never had problems with my skin before this, so having such a huge amount of blemishes in such a short ...

Pros: not sure..none? Cons: not very effective, expensive, stings my bf's face
My brother told me that Proactiv worked very well because he was the type of person with very, very, very bad acne from adolescence and beyond! So after a couple years out of adolescence, I decided to try it because my acne decided it wasn't just...

Pros: It helped build my sons self esteem. Cons: None
This product is wonderful. After trying many other products and spending alot of money we finally found something that worked. My fifteen year old son used this product faithfully and he is so glad now that he did. He was very self conscious of his acne...

Pros: flawless skin, endless solutions to skin problems, money back gaurantee, they also have fading cream. Cons: Too many good products to choose from:)
I used to use Proactive, but I stopped for a year. It made my skin flawless, but for a reason unknown to me I stopped using it. My skin broke out horribly, not at first but gradually. Then I realized that "THIS" is how it used to be. It was very ...

Pros: Proactive Solutions does clean your skin, and helps unclogg pores. Cons: If you have persistent breakouts, this product won't work for you.
I tried proactive solutions when it first came out a while back. I had moderate acne and I found that it doesn't kill enough of the bacteria that causes acne. It only cleans the skin's outer surface.I also experienced peeling on my skin due to the...

Pros: Effective, worked within three weeks. Cons: Eventually caused dryness in patches, had to use lotion to counteract dryness.
I can't believe I finally found a product that WORKS! I have tried everything and at age 29 my skin is now clear and non-greasy. My skin is clear enough to go without base now. My skin stays soft and matte, even overnight! As the whether turned...

Pros: Softer skin, definitely works for me. Cons: Expensive! Works, but not if you can't afford it.
I am from Canada, so with the extra shipping, it is really expensive for me. One trick: If you find your skin is shiny, only use the toner at night. This has helped me a lot. I do feel it works well, and fortunately, I can afford it, but it is unfair to...
