Professional thieves
My Aunt warned me about proactive but I didn't listen. I ordered the advanced oily kit for 29.95 + free shipping. Only to realize after checkout they had charged me an extra 5.00 for shipping. Funny right? When I checked my bank account they had charged my card 38.34. They better give my money back. Ayaka!

Benzoyl peroxide
Benzoyl peroxide, That's their main ingredient!! You can buy a %10 Benzoyl tube at Target for 5 bucks and save ur money and the hassle of dealing with a scamming company. Or break out the big gun with antibiotics or accutane, you can get it from ur dermatologist. It's very effective!!

don't waste your money
I bought proactiv, it didn't work at all, I end up with darker dry skin so I had to stop using it, they also tried to scam me by sending me other products that I didn't order, they sent me a bill of $60 for stuff I didn't buy!!

No Difference
Ordering from Proactiv was a hassle. They want to sign you up for automatic renewal orders and you have to call again to cancel. I tried Proactiv years ago when I didn't know how to treat my skin, so I touched my face a lot and was overall very rough with my skin. However, it was expensive and I saw no difference with Proactiv at all. I was so disillusioned by the commercial that I actually felt worse about how I looked. Everyone talks about how bad they felt about themselves with acne, like it's a disgusting disease, and then you get the product, it doesn't work, and you feel even worse!

At all cost: DO NOT BUY
Reacted very negatively to Proactiv. If anything, it made my skin 10x worse. It dries out your skin, stripping it of its natural oils which allows increased production of sebum which increases breakouts. Proactiv made my face so sensitive to the sun and I was prone to getting sunburns. It took approximately a year for my face to return back to normal and get rid of the sensitivity. Definitely the toner was the worst product in the trio.

Pros:

Refining mask is ok as spot treatment.

Cons:

Expensive, terrible customer service. Terrible!!!!!
Drys out skin, bleaches towels an clothes and eyebrows and hairline.
Makes acne much much worse!

If you have acne I really hope you do not bother with this terrible product. I think the women who put this product out should go to jail for a while for scamming desperate innocent people who are suffering from painful embarrassing acne. My acne is almost gone now an this is what I did. Keep in mind everyone is different. I use a Clairisonic brush and Boscia clearing face wash. That brush is sooo worth the money. I also use Peter Thomas Roth spot and area treatment. It is fantastic. If the Clairisonic is too much than try the Clairisonic Mia. It is less expensive. I also eat healthy and drink water and keep my skin hydrated. If you have acne you have to keep your skin hydrated. I use Clinique oil free Moisturizing gel. Don't bother with Proactive. The ingredients are terrible for your skin and are PROVEN to make acne worse. If you can, go to a "real" dermatologist. Good luck!!

Pros:

The first week or so I thought it is clearing up a little.

Cons:

*Really harsh for you skin.
*Makes your skin so bad when you quit.
*Costs wayyy too much.
*Bad for the environment with all the harsh chemicals in it.

I kept doing the three steps twice a day with proactiv. I kept using it for about 2 months but my skin was just getting worse and worse so I returned the bottles and got some money back but I still had to pay overall like 50 nz dollars for delivery. After I had stopped using proactiv, my skin just got sooo bad. I started getting really harsh cystic acne everywhere on my face. I didnt use to get acne before i used proactiv, I just had few pimples here and there on my face. I remember when I was down about my skin before I used proactiv but the photo I had taken of my skin before the use of proactiv amazes me with how good my skin actually was comparing to my skin now. I truly HATE proactiv for what it has done to my skin. My severe cystic acne is so painful and embarrassing, I hear all the whispers people at school talking about how bad my skin has become and its so frustrating. I just wanted to let the people who are thinking of getting proactiv know what it can do to your skin. Lastly, paying 60 nz dollars to get severe acne was not worth it at all.

Pros:

Smells good.

Cons:

Expensive!
Made me break out more
Dried my skin
NO RESULTS

I used this product, hoping for positive results (yea, I bought into the commercials) but got nothing. I broke out even more! Probably because it dried out my skin.
