Terrible customer service
I have been using proactiv plus for a little over a month now, and I actually have already seen great results. My skin has cleared up a great amount. I would love to continue using proacitv, however, I have experienced probably the worst customer service I've ever had. During my first order, I was misinformed about the amount I was going to be paying. They told me I would be paying $39.95 for this kit, and then get charged every 3 months for another kit. False. They are charging me $39.95 every single month, making the actual amount $119.85. I called to discuss my disappointment to one of their representatives, and again I just had someone talking in circles rather than being completely honest with me. Once I finally got the chance to talk to a supervisor (whom was not friendly towards a paying customer) he finally said he will send me step 1 to make up for the confusion. I still wasn't completely satisfied, but decided to continue. After a few days, I received a confirmation e-mail saying my package was delivered, yet it was delivered to a different address. I called to talk to another representative (nicer than the others I've spoken to) and explained my situation. She said they will send something in the mail that I need to fill out claiming I didn't receive the product, then they will re-send the product. So at this time, I know have to wait about two weeks to receive this product, yet none of their staff seems sympathetic whatsoever. I have never submitted a complaint to any company, but after working in customer service for several years, I find myself being very unsatisfied. At this point I am looking for a different acne system that will be cheaper than this, only because of their terrible customer service. If it wasn't for that, I would definitely continue using this product.

Allergic to benzol peroxide, but still sold on ProActive+
I tried the kit for back acne without a proper patch test. After three days full on using ProActive+ I realised I was getting a really itchy, red and rough skin on my shoulders. I even tried it again two times, as I really wanted it to work. In the mean time, I was apparently automatically signed up for a new set every 3 months. When I called them about this, the reimbursed the newly send package and 25% of my first package as I did wanted to try out the products without benzol peroxide. Now one month later, I ordered more of the soap bar and moisturiser as they have significantly improved my skin!! Definitely a keeper, even if you are allergic to the benzol peroxide products :)

Can be very effective.

Pros:

Can work

Cons:

Can't stop using it if it does work

I kept my acne in check with Proactiv for a good amount of time up until last November when I finished gradually getting away from it. My face was clear and I didn't really like how the toner felt on my skin so I decided to simplify my skin care routine. About a month later I started breaking out pretty bad, I tried the all natural route to no avail and eventually went back to Proactiv plus then regular Proactiv for a total of 10 weeks with no improvement whatsoever. There's no way to be %100 sure it was the stopping of the Proactiv that did me in but that's where my money is. So if you try it and it works, awesome, but don't ever stop using it. And I've heard horror stories about getting them to stop sending it to you but you can get it on amazon without all that hassle, or do what I did and calmly tell them that your dermatologist put you on a medication that reacts badly with topicals and you can't use it anymore which was true for me cause now I'm on Accutane ( which works great )

EXTREMELY DRYING
Do not waste your money with Proactive, it's all just good marketing. When I started using Proactiv+ I had a lot of pimples and after trying it for 4 months I saw little results. The biggest issue is it DRIED my skin out like crazy. Before I had very oily skin that I had to blot several times a day, after using Proactiv+ my skin became so dry, it felt very tight and like I was about to get wrinkles. I had to stop using it and it took a few weeks for my skin to go back to normal. It IRRITATES your skin more than helps it.
