Pros:

-Moisturized my skin well
-Felt my skin was smoother

Cons:

-Made me get so many black heads and clogged pores
-Overrated

I tried this after my husband told me to because I was starting to break out again and he told me that Proactive wont cause me to break out at all....well boy was he wrong. I felt my skin was smoother after trying it for a couple of weeks, but then my skin starting getting clogged pores and then I got black heads and it just wasn't a pretty sight. My self esteem went down so fast after using this. I felt after a month or two of using this, it stopped working and my skin started flaring up again.

Pros:

My skin feels so soft and my pimples and pores are so much smaller. The cleansing brush is FANTASTIC as is the green tea moisturizer. I recommend them both when getting the three step solution. Free samples sent with order.

Cons:

The smell isn't great.
The size of the bottles cost so much and are travel sized which is ridiculous.

Proactiv works for me. But, make sure you follow the steps completely. Let step 2 dry completely before step 3. And make sure you have face moisturizer or you're skin will be really dry.

Pros:

Toner smells good.
The mask helps!

Cons:

Burnt my face!
Did not clear up acne at all.
Made my redness worse.
Left me with scars.
Money back guarantee is a lie!

I've tried proactive at least three times. It never worked. The last time I used it was horrible. I saw no results after 2 months, it actually made my skin worse. Huge waste of money and time. Oh and they wouldn't give me my money back! Huge scam.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

Unethical
Thieves
Criminal
Doesn't work
Dries out face while leaving under skin cysts

This is a scam. They have billed me for items I did not receive, charged me $110 for the last 3 item (cleanser, toner, treatment) shipment I did receive. I am done with them. Would rather have acne! I am going to try products from the store again because I have lost all faith in online ordering. Also, can not use the contact link on their website, type in blurred code & it won't accept it even though it is right. (tried about 25 times) Rodan & Fields should be ashamed of themselves.

Pros:

None!

Cons:

It dried up my skin like a dry desert! I suspect the people in the ads were either PhotoShopped or had good makeup work. Secondly, I got an auto-shipment before the end of the trial period and when I stopped further shipments I had a dickens of a time getting a refund. Very arrogant Customer Service person tried to tell me I was using it wrong ... and also it may not work in the trial period so I should continue longer. But by that time I had severely dry and painful skin.

If you want to try it for yourself, just BEWARE. I consider this to be a real scam.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

-Makes acne worse
-EXPENSIVE
-Near impossible to cancel

When I began using this I had very light acne ONLY on my forehead, the rest of my face was completely clear. After a week of using it my ENTIRE face was breaking out, cheeks, chin, nose, and especially forehead. It also gave me terrible cystic acne (something I've never had prior) I've been off the regimine for a year and am still trying to get rid of the scars it gave me. DO NOT BUY.
