Pros:

does clear skin

Cons:

total sham

they sign you up for $19.95 & tell you that you will get billed monthly... what they dont tell you is that each shipment that you get is $60 something & they break down the payments. I went to cancel & they told me i still owed for $40 for the last shipment i was sent. i asked if i could send that shipment back & they said yes but it would take 60-90 days to refund my money. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!

Pros:

it cleared up my skin after a month of use!
it makes my pores feel smaller.
i love the step 2 toner it makes my skin feel soft and opens my pores to let the step 3 treatment really reach the problem!

Cons:

none yet!
though i hear it stops working

i love it! ive used it for about 2 months. As long as you use it on a regular twice a day schedule you will be pleased with the results!

Pros:

nothing

Cons:

I ordered proactiv 2 years ago for 19.95 (their TV offer). At the time, the bottles were 4 oz, which was great and lasted me a decent amount of time. I decided to give it a go again (keep in mind 39.95 this time) and I got sent 2 oz bottles. To me, that is travel size. When I called customer service and explained this dilemma all they could say was that the price of proactiv has gone up. So why does the price go up but the size go down? BECAUSE IT IS A SCAM.

I got ripped off and will never order from this company again. EVER.

Pros:

Cons:

Price, too many steps, ruins skin

I used Proactiv Solutions for about 5 months...it ruined my skin. I thought it helped the first few times I used it WRONG after about 3 days my face turned bright red, skin was very tight, it felt like it was on fire then my skin started peeling off. I called their customer service and I did exactly what they told me to...it didn't help. It took about 6 months for my face to recover. Please save your face the pain don't try it.

Pros:

none

Cons:

doesn't work and they kept billing me AFTER I canceled my membership. They also shipped and billed for extras such as eye cream that I did NOT order

This is a sham...once they get your credit card info they have free reign and bill you whatever and whenever...even AFTER you call and cancel! I am actually having to close my credit card account because of these guys so uhhh..thanks for NOTHING!

Pros:

Decent Product

Cons:

Auto Billing

I bought Proactive in College (10 years ago) and paid 19.99 a month for 30 day supply. I figured that's what they were advertising again, so I ordered more for my wife a few months ago. We paid the 19.95 they advertise now, and we noticed the bottles were smaller. We figured they just got cheap on us. We called and canceled because the acne cleared up and we found some good stuff at the store that was basically the same stuff and worked just as well. We canceled too late and the second shipment was on it's way. We figured it was fine.. another 19.95. No problem. Instead, it was more like 67.00. We didn't even know or open the box. I checked my account a few months later and realized they sent us a 90 day supply. Too late to return it now. They got us. Keep this in mind if you buy! There are alternatives that are basically the same product. Don't fall for their marketing and do some research. It will save you money.

Pros:

Clears acne/pimples
Refreshing

Cons:

Only lasts for a little while.

This product is known for being advertised the most. I'm sure no one have ever not seen this item on TV. We see celebrities on Tv using this item but we should all have this is mind: They are only actors and they get paid to act upon this "wonderful" item. We are getting too brainwashed my this item. This item does not work, it does only for a little while. It's not worth paying so much for this item.

Pros:

-leaves rest of skin that has no acne feeling smooth
-feels refreshing

Cons:

-bottles run out at different times; have no more toner but have plenty of the first step (cleanser) left
-no immediate results

the acne i have isn't so severe, but i never had a problem with it until recently. i usually had one or two zits every month or two, but now i find a new one every week. i don't have acne all over my face (breakouts only on forehead, between nose and lips, and chin). i didn't see results immediately like the commercials said i would. in fact, i really didn't see any results until about a month later. i did notice the sides of my face and cheeks smoother. i still broke out even after using the kit. and that refining mask that says to dab a little when i see a zit forming to prevent it from getting bigger..? DOES NOT WORK. i still woke up with the zit, bigger than the night before. i used the kit accordingly, two times a day, the mask every other day, and green tea extract once a week or so. i was hoping to see VISIBLE results and stop breaking out, but it didn't do so. i called to cancel the kit, and the guy said people dont see results until about a month later. so i continued to use it for two months and did see LITTLE results; fewer breakouts. today my face is clear. two days ago i had a zit. probably tomorrow i'll get a small one. its random. so does it work? i guess it just depends on the skin you have. i can't speak for everyone, but if you have similar acne problems like mine, you might get the same results.
