Cons:

Not only did it not clear up my face, it made my face dry out & about 30mins after I used it my face would peel. When I called them about it, they said I would need the 'stronger' system & wanted me to pay even more money!

Not worth the price. My clearsil wash does more

Pros:

none

Cons:

lots

the cleanser hurts! the first time I washed my face (with a gentle facewash called Purity) after stopping proactiv I was so relieved, I couldn't stop smiling. AND proactiv it made it worse...instincts told me the lotion (2.5 benzoyl peroxide) was a good thing, then I found this website, and started using bezoyl peroxide again, sans the proactiv wash and toner

worst customer service ever
I've been a user of this product for 5 years and the product was great. It gave me clear skin however my only complain is their customer service. Recently, I placed an order over the phone. I waited for 3 weeks and nothing came. I called and I was told that i never placed an oder. This incident happened once on my previous shipment. So ok I stretched my patience....placed an order again and was told in 2 days my products will arrive since I had it expidite. I waited for a week, no sign of my product. When I called they said my shipment was cancelled because of a failed credit card. Nobody even called me. I was wondering how could that be when I gave my new c.c info to them. I even made them verify the info to me before I hang up. Well I found out that they did not update my file and they have been using my old card thats why it failed. Now because i could not stretch my patience this time I asked for the manager....requesting to expidite my product giving them 3 days to deliver. Craig the supervisor could not help me. i was so dissapointed. my thing is why would i suffer with their incompetency. i cancelled my order anyway. Im so furious with them.

Nightmare!!
This is the worst treatment that I have ever used. I have mild acne and only few blackheads. I was convinced to use this product because of its promising advertisement. I didn't even bother to spend too much for this because I'm hoping for its result. But this is actually waste of time and money. I don't recommend this product.

It didnt do anything.
I have been seduced by those infomercials three different times. Each time I was left with the same amount of acne.

advertising propaganda!!!
its been my dream since I was in high school to have this to cure my mild acne. When i was already earning from my job, last year i've decided to drop my money and invest with this product. I taught this will solve that time i already had a mild-moderate acne and at last achieve a clear and healthy skin but it didn't happened. It got worsen, i got a lot of breakouts! Im still not on my half of using the product but im already convinced to return it back because anyway this has a money back guarantee options. Still i convinced myself to continue and believe everything that's on the advertisement and what it is promising. From the foam cleanser that has tiny beads which i think didn't help coz it makes my pimples pop out and spread the bacteria on my face while im washing. The toner, i cant even remember if it does something to help my skin until i run out of it. the last thing that's left from me was the mask and lotion. which at first helped my pimple to subside and flatten but i notice as i use it again and again, my face got immune with the treatment and maybe the dosage which later on didn't take effect anymore. With the mask, sometimes after i pop some zits i use it as a spot treatment to control the bleeding or clear water like thing coming out of my pimple. then sometimes i use it on my entire face it feels like a clay mask. I used to leave it on my face on the entire night hoping for some good results in the morning but after i wash it off, teneeennn.. a new pimple again! here and there.. my gosh! All i can say is this product is just full of advertising propaganda!!!

Didn't Work For Me

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Stings my face
bleaches cloth
makes things worse

This product I thought had been working for a while but, after a while, it seemed that it was making my acne worse. My acne wasn't as bad until i started using it.

Didn't work and too much hassle

Pros:

none

Cons:

ineffective
too harsh on skin
bleaches fabric

It didn't work for me. Simple as that. It didn't clear my acne, it hurt my skin and also bleached my towels. What skin care system is so strong that it bleaches fabric? No thanks. Plus the whole "we'll send you more every 3 weeks" thing was a real pain.

Don't buy this.

Cons:

Irritating, drying, stings like crazy, doesn't do anything for acne, caused redness

I was so hopeful that this product would work when I got it. Especially after the flashy commercials saying it was the "cure to acne." All it did was make my skin extremely red and irritated. It was extremely harsh and stung like crazy! After using it my skin felt dead. I'm so glad I no longer use this product.

HATE IT

Cons:

expensive
didn't work
irritated my skin

I had severe acne and decided to try the ever popular Proactiv. For people with sensitive and severe/moderate acne, stay away. I have nothing good to say about Proactiv. From day one, the toner burned my skin.. I felt like I was on FIRE! Ridiculous... Anyway, I stuck through it and six weeks later, no improvement. Not even in the slightest. Wasted my money.
