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:

It's better than nothing.

Cons:

Didn't work at all for me. My acne seemed to get a little worse. My prescribed medicine from the doctor (differen) helped heal my skin after this & worked a million times better.

It's a hoax.

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:

cleared up my skin

Cons:

dryness
redness
sensitivity

It works but I had to buy an additional moisturizer. If you breakout easily, you know this can be scary. I did, however, find this stuff which has been AWESOME and I didn't even have one breakout because of it. I highly recommend it. [link removed]

Dried face up too much

It does work a little at first, but not much improvement. After I stopped using it my face got really oily and acne got worse.

Pros:

The only product that has actually worked consistently

Cons:

Takes 20+ minutes to do every morning and night (4 steps - wash, toner, treatment, moisterize)
somewhat expensive

I have light to moderate acne that is very persistent, really for the past 5 years. I have tried washes and used BP for years and years. smothering my face with BP generally kept me to 1-2 pimples / acne lesions per week, but my face was wrinkled and dry. to me, it is the proactive toner (step 2) that made all of the difference in the world. I have used the system correctly for 3-4 months, and this is the best that my skin has been in a long time. you have to follow each step and let things dry before going to the next step.

Stung
Dried out my skin

I really don't like proactiv, after a week or so of using it I got all these HUGE whiteheads all over and my skin got kinda irritated. I liked the toner though.
