Cons:

-dries out skin
-takes a while to ship.

okay, well... proactiv did work. good. my skin is normally sensitive. & dry... but, i used a moisturizer afterwards, & after about a month or so... it started to really work! for a while the only thing that worked was neutrogena system. & it was amazing. i loved it, but after a few months, (2) it stopped working. it didn't make my skin worse but didn't clear it up. but, it did work. & proactiv, i just started using it, & so far... it's maked my skin really clear. i recommend it. don't listen to these other people. -retarded much? i have sensitive, occasionally dry, skin & it worked for me. diddddd dry out skin, but nothing moisturizer can't fix(: i say, go for it(:

Pros:

None at all.

Cons:

Dried my skin out in a serious way (skin eventually was just peeling off). Cost a ton and i even stuck it out for a long time (probably out of desperation). Made my acne and overall my skin look way worse.

Was terrible and it makes me sick to see the infomercial on all the time. Was expensive and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I haven't used it for a number of years now but I honestly after seeing how much it's advertised would like to discourage people from going into it blindly (do some research and see if anyone else who is not only on the internet has had it work for them). On a side note i would recommend not trying any acne treatments with benzoyl peroxide as a main ingredient. It is a harsh chemical and ESPECIALLY if you have sensitive skin (or dry skin) it will destroy your skin. And if it does work for some people i haven't met any in real life that have had any success (tens and adults alike) so be very skeptical.

DO NOT BUY

I thought I would give Proactiv a try so ordered a pack, it actually made my skin a lot worse than anything else I've ever tried but not only that, after persevearing for 10 days I gave up. A month later £65 disappeared from my account, a few days after this I received another package which I did not want or ask for. I had read other reviews about being careful of the subscription- I carefully checked through the payment confirmation from my first order (I didn't receive one for the second 'supposed' order) but I couldn't find anywhere that I had signed up to any kind of subscription! Customer service (who were horrendous) told me that it was in very small print on the checkout page and had to walk me through the ordering process so they could point out to me exactly where it was. So this was totally unclear. I was furious- I sent the package back without even opening it (by special delivery as they take no responsibility for receiving it if it's not sent this way or by courier). I have so far waited over a week and still no refund, called the customer service number to which they said "it's not been processed yet, once we get it, we have to send it back to our warehouse abroad so could take a couple of weeks" - so still waiting, THIS COMPANY ARE CON ARTISTS, DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS. They don't work and you'"" have a nightmare trying to get out of a subscription you supposedly sign up to.. as for getting a refund.. well, I'll let you know when it finally arrives! :(

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!

Disappointment..

Im giving it 3 stars because it did clear me up for about 2 weeks, but then stopped working. I started using this in January and stopped in July. I was so fed up that I was paying so much and it was doing nothing.. If anything it was making the dark scars on my cheeks EVEN DARKER. The whole thing just felt like putting harsh chemicals all over your face.. I was really hoping it was going to work.. It has been working pretty well on my sister but her acne wasn't nearly as bad as mine. Maybe try it if you have not a lot of acne, but if you have cystic acne like me don't waste your money... Its not worth it.

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."
