Total Ripoff

ordered it from [link removed] made bloody damn sure I choose the Single Shipment: $29.95 30-Day Supply option. They automatically enroll you in the monthly automatically charge your credit card and ship you monthly... I called and told them I am not stupid, I made sure I was I was ordering the one time, I even kept the screen captures from my order.. they deny it and said even though I picked the Single Shipment: $29.95 30-Day Supply option, on the side of the screen it said I would be shipped a new supply every 30 days and it was my fault that I didn't check it, even though I have screen captures. They already charged my credit card and will not refund my money until I send box back, which was left on my doorstep. What a ripoff, even though when I signed up and ordered it the first time, they have my email address, they never contacted me about the second shipment or when they were charging my credit card. Here is the thing, if they had contacted me maybe I would checked with my daughter and see if she wanted it and decided if we wanted to order, but the lying and deception is what really gets under my skin.

This is UNFORGIVABLE, people (often teens, with little money - and already with a huge burden of being afflicted with acne) should not be tricked into this, and ripped off by an organisation who suggest they are trying to help. SHAME ON YOU PROACTIVE - and if the website ripping people off is not you, You need to withdraw your product... Why was the website name redacted? People need warning of these bandits!

Does not work even in the slightest

This product is honestly a waste of money. I bought the whole step by step system and it did nothing but make my face worse and scarred. The first two days I used the cleanser it turned my face beet red for two days and then after a month of use I stopped because It only made things worse. Please don't waste your money .

Pros:

None

Cons:

Product did not work - acne got worse. Then when I cancelled they never cancelled the order and kept charging me. Months later when I discovered the error, they never made right.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. IT DOES NOT WORK AND THE COMPANY WILL NOT MAKE IT RIGHT WHEN YOU TRY TO CANCEL. UNETHICAL COMPANY AND POOR PRODUCT!!!!!!

Pros:

It did seem to keep my 14 yr. old son's face from breaking out as much

Cons:

When you make your first purchase you assume you are buying 1 box when in reality you are signing up for multiple shipments and charges to your credit card. I obviously did not read the very fine print thouroughly enough to see this before I ordered. They also do not tell you that after your "introductory" order of 29.95, your future orders that you did not even know you are ordering costs 99.95!! If you call to cancel the reps are extremely rude.

Don't get scammed like I did. Read the "fine print."

Pros:

Customer Service was very nice

Cons:

Didn't work, made my face really dry, the toner made my face burn

It doesn't work. I only started breaking out after I got the Depo-Provera shot. It wasn't bad, but I was still self-conscious of it. Proactive didn't make it worse, but it didn't do anything at all to help it. When I did call to cancel it, the customer service lady was very helpful and nice though. I began using Neutrogena Complete Acne System and so far it seems to be helping. It dried out my face for about a week, but I'll deal with that as long as it keeps my skin clear.

Pros:

In the beggining, it made my face soft!
Besides that NO PROS

Cons:

DRY SKIN
Worse Acne
Rash
Redness
Burning

Ok, I never ever review items. I am always the type to give products a chance and not turn them down so fast, but I literally couldnt help but review. In the begging, I thought pro activ was good. Like the first 2 days...After that it made my face dry...SUPER SUPER red..Burn, and VERY VERY DRY.. I still gave it a chance AND continued using...i BROKE out worse then ever!!!! I have a rash all over my mouth. DO NOT USE THIS!!! I am telling you, I never ever review products, but this one is BAD... do not take the chance to use this....ive stopped using it and its been 2 days and my face is still dry and even with make up over it, it looks like i am peeling...i am mortified by this product..over the counter is way better....DO NOT BUY...

Cons:

Not to be a downer but this made my skin worse.

My acne is primarily hormonal so this did not work and irritated my sensitive skin. I would not recommend. I used it for 1-2 months.

Cons:

made my skin flaky, dry, and sensitive.

This product is misleading. Didnt work for me or either of my cousins. It made my skin so sensitive that i would cry when my boyfriend kissed my cheek! There is clearly something wrong here.
