Pros:

- good product, does help clear up acne.

Cons:

- HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

WOWOWOW. okay. i ordered some things from them, the extra strength proactiv system and a green tea moisturizer. We waited about two weeks for it to come, and it didn't come. I called them, and they said it wasn't supposed to come out till the end of may, so they apologized and said they would put a rush on it and it should be here within a week. so we waited a week, and it hadn't come, so we called again, and they apologized again and said they would put a rush on it, and it should be here within a week. HMM. it didn't come within a week. so we called again, and they said the items were on back order, and it should be here within a week. FINALLY, it's been two weeks, and i open up the box and all that's in there is a tiny travel kit. WOW. $50 for a travel kit. THANK YOU PROACTIV. Not buying anything from you again. completely and absolutely disgusted with this joke of a customer service.

Pros:

It was a refreshing process and really and truly worked... for about a week or two.

Cons:

After a week of using it as directed the skin on my cheeks and forehead turned red, scaly, and sore. It took weeks to get my skin back in decent condition. And it was a pain in the a** to cancel my trial. And a year later the company still calls me.

I did the whole trial thing that they advertise. It cleared my moderate/light acne in a few days, but my skin dried out way too much and basically got burned from the acids in the formula. If you have really tough skin it'd probably work out alright. I don't consider my forehead to be a sensitive spot, but I guess it was. MAKE SURE YOU CALL AND CANCEL IF YOU'RE UNSATISFIED. Apparently they sell a "sensitive" formula, but from what I've heard it isn't much better. Seriously consult a dermatologist before you use these chemicals.

Pros:

None. Well no, the face mask is pretty good for spot treatment

Cons:

EVERYTHING! It irritated my face, it gave me MORE pimples, it was crazy expensive, it takes a long time to go through the whole process, need I say more?

I used proactiv for the full 6 weeks required and more, and my acne actually got worse. I understand that it doesn't happen to everyone but it happened to me. I used to just have a little bit of acne on my forehead, now I have big, infected pimples and on my cheeks too (my cheeks used to be crystal clear), it's just terrible :(

Pros:

simple to use, and I like the feeling of the grainy scrub.

Cons:

Way too expensive, and it seems like a lot of the ingredients are not specific to fighting acne. The toner and the lotion thing also make my face feel greasy.

This didn't really make a change in my acne after I switched from another system. I had heard really good things about the "refining mask," which did not work the same way for me. It also smells horrible. In the end, the whole system is basically just more crap to put on your face, and definitely not worth the price.

Pros:

It cleared my skin for the first couple of days , and it didnt dry out my skin

Cons:

It has to be used daily and if you miss one application it will take a long time for it to start working again, and the best part of the system is the mask and once it runs out you have to buy it at a seperate price.

If you can stay constant with the product it will work but if u are busy and cant allways take time to apply the product twice a day it will be a wate of your money.

Pros:

Packaging was nice.

Cons:

proactiv did NOT work. it was purchased for my teen son, he followed all step appropriately with my help for a month and saw no improvement whatsoever.

On top of paying for the first trial offer which didn't work. i was sent out another package, for $48.94 (cdn), three months later. I called their customer care and told them i would send it back because i didnt want more product as the first package did NOT work. Customer care told me to mark the package " refused - return to sender". And i would be refunded. I did that in January 2009. This is now March 2009, they say that have not received the package and will NOT return my money without receiving the package. How convenient ! Now they want me to produce a receipt that it was actually mailed to them but yet when i contacted them to return the product, they did not tell me do so then. I might be out $ 48.94 for this product, but i will continue to tell all that this product is a SCAM !! BEWARE, PROACTIV DOES NOT WORK AND THEY DO NOT RETURN YOUR $$$ !! I am now out a total cost of $76.89 with results !!
