Pros:

Once you try it, you gain the knowledge to tell others how horrible this product and company are.

Cons:

Cleanser- dried out skin,
Toner- made skin SUPER shiny,
Lotion -smells so bad my husband wont kiss me when I use it.
Acne NEVER got better. TOOOO MUCH $$$$$

Don't even give it another thought! Do not buy this product. It's not healthy for your skin "even though they say it's ok." Even their new "gentle" formula is a Horrible on skin. I used it twice each time for about 3 months. I just stopped using it again last week, and added up my wasted money...3 stupid shipments = $107.71 The products smell bad, stains EVERYTHING , tares up your hands and face, and your skin goes pale from all the harsh products, and don't fall for their mask, it too smells so bad, and it works no better than a dab of toothpaste. just 200% more expensive. Good luck trying to cancel this product, it's confusing and takes months to complete...DO NOT PAY WITH A CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD!!! They don't seem to know when to stop charging it.

Pros:

-It worked for about a week

Cons:

-Redness increased
-Made acne worse
-Itchy
-The price
-Burns
-Smells weird

I used this 2 times. One time when I was 11 and the other about 6 months ago. It was horrible. They kept charging me even when I stopped the order. It made my skin so bad. I was dissapointed. It's a bad product. Don't even get me started on the annoying commercials. It worked for a week, then it made my skin living hell. I used this for over a few months hoping for results, and nothing.

Pros:

Green tea moisturizer reduces oil

Cons:

Smells really strong
Let my skin far worse than it ever was

Using this felt like I was drenching my skin in chemicals. I didn't like it, and neither did my skin. I used this exactly as directed, and at one week, my skin broke out terribly. It felt painful and looked awful. I know it says that breaking out during this is normal, but it's just so difficult to trust anything that says that anymore. I used the regimen for a week after, and I saw absolutely no improvement. I fixed up my skin with a gentle cleanser and witch hazel toner. I kept the green tea moisturizer that came with the kit since that worked really well. It's been a few months and I still have the scars from when I used Proactiv. I guess this works for some people, but not for anyone who breaks out in severe acne.

Pros:

None, it dried out my skin and didn't work. I have been using it for a year now and I see no difference, if anything it has made my acne worse.

Cons:

Dry skin, acne doesn't clear up.

SUCKS!

Pros:

shipping was fast and easy, but other than that none.

Cons:

Worked for the first week then totally backfired on me! My acne flared up like never before. My face became more oily. Gave me deep painful pimples, more blackheads, bigger pores, costed too much, took up too much time, and just didnt work.

This stuff is a LIE! It's not worth your money. Don't waste your time because it only makes your acne worse! It gives you severe deep painful pimples, enlarges your pores, and just makes you feel horrible! My self esteem went down and I found myself hiding from my friends and avoiding contact with other people. It is a HORRIBLE product! And when you stop using the product the company will never stop bugging you about how they "miss you so much". its so annoying. If you know your own good, don't waste your time on this product, its a lie.

Pros:

At first it seems great, but ends up beings a HUGE disappointment.

Cons:

EVERYTHING

I was very disappointed in my Proactiv experience. Not only was I mislead, but it did not work. Upon placing my initial order it was very misleading as to what I was going to be charged each month. Also, I was very disappointed in how long it actually took to get my order once I was charged. I had decided to give it some time to see if it would work. After receiving two shipments and still no results, I decided to call it quits. Once I called to cancel my order, although the status of the next shipments according to my online account said that it had not been shipped yet, I was informed that it was too late and that the order was going to be shipped anyways and that I was going to have to return it. So not only did I have to pay to have something I did not want shipped to me, I also had to pay to return it. I did all this, and when I called Proactiv the woman informed me that I was not going to be charged any more and that I would be refunded for my first monthly installment. I purchased delivery confirmation for my order and saw that it had been recieved on the 22nd of this month, and lo and behold yet another installment had been withdrawn from my account on the 24th. I can understand it might take time to process everything, but once it's in your system as being returned you should be able to stop further payments. It's all computerized anyways. My overall experience with proactiv was very upsetting and I am still waiting to be refunded and aggitated that I lost out on shipping, to and from might I add. It's very unfortunate, but I suppose things aren't always what they seem. Regretful and disappointed,

Pros:

-Smells good
-Beads feel good on your face
-The overnight acne spot treatment does help, same with the refining mask- plus it hides your blemishes with a white mask cream when youre around your family at home

Cons:

-3 step system makes it easy to be inconsistent
-If you become a member of their club, they will send you more kits than you need
-They act like its the magic bullet for acne, and its not
-They dont mention on their wonderful commercials that it does not work for everyone
-It is overendorsed and held up on a high level, but it isn't the magic bullet it says it is

Proactiv gets celebrities to endorse their product, and act as though it is the magic bullet for acne. I, along with others who have tried it that I know, were not impressed. I did not see results even when I did use it consistently.

Pros:

Smells okay compared to other acne products.

Cons:

Stops working after about a month.
When you wash your face with the cleanser its like washing your face with rough sandpaper because of the little beads that scrub your skin. Doesnt work in general.

The media makes Proactiv sound amazing when its really not, bottom line is it doesnt work and its a waste of time...
