Pros:

-simple system and packaging
-some of the products are really nice
-the refining mask is awesome

Cons:

-small bottles for the price
-It contains fragrance, and known skin irritant!!!
-It uses benzoyle peroxide, which works, but is known to speed up aging.
-company is annoying to deal with

I used proactive and it worked well at first but my skin became immune. I didn't like how the smell lingered on my face. The company was difficult to deal with, and when my monthly shipment didn't arrive on time, I was out for a couple of weeks. I liked how the cleanser had exfoliating beads. I really liked the green tea moisturizer, but it contains fragrance which is so bad for acne, and the bottle is TINY for the expensive price. With all the extras, its confusing to get on a regimine with proactive. The only thing I still buy from this line is the refining mask, which I love. If I have a bad breakout, this does damage control and dries all the pimples out.

Pros:

NON

Cons:

small
overpriced
bad for sensitive skin (don't even try it)
no decent warnings about allergy reaction

I have acne on my forehead and I always wanted to try proactive. I ordered a promotion set, it came in small bottles. Anyway, i started to use like direction said and got severe allergic reaction: red rush all over my face! I looked like a walking sand paper! It made skin dry, looking terrible. I stopped to use it right away. Even now, after 2 months, my face is covered with tiny pimples. Bottom line: if u like your face and u have sensitive skin - DON'T BUY IT!!!!! Natural organic treatments are much better!

Pros:

Feels fresh

Cons:

Funky smell, refining mask doesn't work

I've been using proactive for almost 2 years now and it doesn't really seem to clear zits. It takes awhile for the zits to go away, and then when they are finally gone, new ones just pop up. I wouldn't recommend this product to others because it's not very reliable.

Pros:

None

Cons:

The products do not work and the customer service is horrible. They still charge me even when I have not received the goods.

Since their products do not work, I called to cancel the following shipment. And the customer representative talked me into having another shipment in 6 months. The shipment has never come; however, they kept sending me bill. I called to tell them that they should not send me a bill, as no goods were mailed to me and I need to cancel my account. They blamed the postal office and told me I still need to pay because it was out of 60 days. That's totally outrageous. Why do I need to pay for something I have never received. I'll never buy anything from this company, as it is not professional and ethical.

Pros:

-Refining mask (old formula only)
-Nothing else.

Cons:

-Dry skin
-Expensive
-False advertising

I don't recommend proactive, it made my skin very very dry and didn't help with my acne. The only thing that worked was the refining mask the fist 3 I got, but the 4th one for some reason made my acne even worst, probably they changed the formula or something. I will never buy proactive again !

Pros:

Clears skin at first
Toner was good

Cons:

Harsh
Drying
Expensive
Temporary relief of acne

Not worth it at all! I used this product for about a year and at first it worked wonders for clearing my acne (granted it dryed my skin out so terribly) but eventually it completely stopped working and my acne came back worse then ever! and when the acne came back it was impossible to clear. I've looked online and aparantly a lot of people have the same problem. Don't waste your money

Pros:

Worked...for about four months.

Cons:

-really dry skin
-bleached towels
-expensive

When I first got it, I thought Proactiv was the best thing. It took awhile to kick in and when it did it was great. However, this greatness only lasted for a short amount of time. And it really, really, really dries out your skin. After about 4 months of use, my acne came back, not quite as bad as before but it leaves red marks. Not too impressed.
