It works
I been having acne sense middle school my grandmother use to buy me a lot of products for my face nothing had worked. She had order me Proactiv in 8th grade I had used it next morning I worked up my face was very red as if I had sunburn , face was kind of puffy , very tight. She sented it back the next day!! Still was having acne problems . Then when I turned 18 I was very tired of it I order it again and I put small amount on it same problem happen but my acne was going away so I just put up with it stayed in the house for a about 2 weeks took off work on paid leave until my face heeled and I had cleared skin I was very happy!!!! Everybody skin is different and reacts to certain chemicals differently if u can't take off work like I did and have the same problem my suggestion is start on 1 part of your face. For example put it on your forehead if its ance there and once it clears up put it on the other side. And continue around the other part of your face .

Pros:

- it worked for a while before it effed me over.
- the refining mask was good for drying out pimples overnight

Cons:

- dries out skin
- scam
- expensive and not alot of product
- ineffective long term
- breaks you out like a motherffff
- you wont want to leave the house bc you have such bad skin

DO NOT BUY PROACTIV IF YOU ARE A SMART PERSON WHO DOESNT WANT TO PAY A COMPANY FOR A FACE FULL OF PIMPLES. NO THANKS Words cannot describe how enraged and scammed that I feel. I have had acne since elementry school. after seeing how 'magical' proactive is cracked up to be i decided to order it. So yeah at first it worked. And then youre like oh yeah!!! Found the secret! But no gullible consumers that is not the case. Proactive worked. Then stopped working. And thats when the nightmare starts. It really just irritated my skin so bad that it broke me out all over my cheeks (i never had breakouts there). Now im ashamed to walk out of the house and my self esteem has tanked below zero. I have such anger for proactiv that i made an account on this website to let yall know so you wont end up like me. It was theft thats what it was. Youre dependant on their stupid system that doesnt end up working long term... and then when you go off it to try something else you get a whole party of shhiiiit on your face.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Doesn't work any better than the reasonably prices systems out there!

If you feel the need to purchase this sub-par system be aware! They will automatically refull your order every three months and charge your credit card without notifying you! At no point during my original order was this communicated to me. Whats worse is that the Customer Care department has no interest in helping out their customers once there is a problem. Bottom line, Proactive makes its money by charging unaware customers for product they did not ask for or require. If the product is as good as it claims to be why would you need to force your customers to buy more? They should be breaking the doors down to get it. Save yourself the time and frustration and go get some Neutrogena!

Pros:

NONE!!! Not worth the headache

Cons:

Didn't work made my face break out worse which I know can happen at first so i kept using it and on the 3rd week it left scabs on my face like mild chemical burns.
Customer service IS TERRIBLE!!!! I returned the product and they still kept charging my card and I would call and they would say my account was closed and not sure why charges still coming out. Only refunded $30.82 of the 133.56 they have charged me.

IT IS NOT WORTH THE RISK TO TRY!!!!

Pros:

- Works quickly
- Easy and quick to use

Cons:

- A little expensive

I bought Proactive Solution because I was tired of my bad skin. I didn't expect it to work, but after only 3 days people started to notice that my skin was getting better. After a week I started to break out again, but was told that it was normal. Now 2 weeks after I started using it, all my pimples are gone and the redness it starting to disappear!

Pros:

It got rid of my acne for a while.

Cons:

If you stop using it you get MAJOR BREAK OUTS
Drys out your skin really badly,at one point I looked like an old man and im 14 -.-

It clears your acne for a while,but even missing one day you get a break out. It dries out your skin past the point of getting help from any moisturizer

AWFUL !! stay away
This website is a scam,once they receive a payment they will continue to take money and not send products, in the last 5 months they took money for the most expensive kit 4 times and I only received 1 kit !. After trying to contact for months I am told to wait every time and nothing can be done... stay away from this company.

This is serious, this company is a scammer. I bought this product for my son, after two weeks of use his face started to get red, and he stopped the treatment. They sent me a second packet of products, then charged me for a third shipment, which never came. I got in touch with them and it did not help. I went to the bank to file the complaint. The bank was responsible for the payment. This company is a scam and the product of very poor quality.
