April 7, 2008

Pros:

Feels good while washing

Cons:

Doesn't work

Proactiv may sound like something thats a miracle..it's not. It's made my face worse. and if you miss one wash you get HORRIBLE breakouts. DON'T USE IT!
April 1, 2008

Pros:

Started working after just a few weeks. Skin felt smoother, fewer breakouts

Cons:

After about a month, month and a half, my skin became extremely red from the cleaser. It started flaxing but was still really greasy feeling. My breakouts came back as well. Definitely not worth the money.

Will not use again. Not worth the money or trouble

Pros:

None really. The mask is not horrible for spot treatments.

Cons:

Pretty much everything. I bought it for my teenage son, and from the beginning, he wasn't able to tolerate the toner or the "repairing lotion" (a misnomer if ever there was one). The cleanser seemed to make things much redder and more inflamed.

Don't use this product! It's a racket and the "club" is the biggest scam going. The customer service reps were really nasty when I tried to withdraw. I don't understand the celebrity endorsements but I guess money talks. DO NOT USE!

Pros:

None

Cons:

I burned my face. I stopped using it when I notice red burns around my face.

This doesn't work for everyone. I was very disappointed. I even tried the milder one. It stings and eventually started to burn my face. May skin became so dry and painful.

Pros:

None

Cons:

made my skin super super dry and flaky seems to be making my acne worse where before I had none

I've been using this for two weeks and before I started mainly had a small amount of acne on my chin and my forehead was fairly clear. Now my forehead is covered in whiteheads and totally bumpy and oily and none of my other acne is going away either. Plus, it dries my skin out like crazy, to the point that it is flaking off in huge pieces. I threw out my receipt, so I guess I can't get my money back either. Paid over $75 for it too.

Pros:

Simply dose not work!

Cons:

Their product does not work, yet they cycle charge and ship a new set once a month.

Its cheaper on EBAY! NO CONTRACT, NO CYCLE CHARGE!

Pros:

none

Cons:

dried out my skin. it was horrible. i had a few small blemishes and after using proactive, my whole face exploded. i had breakouts everywhere. and my skin was so dry, my makeup looked flaky. it was gross.

dont get proactive if you have sensitive skin. also! exfoliating your skin that often is really bad. it strips the face of its natural protectors.
