Pros:

it worked on my face, however, I get the same results with pharmacy products.

Cons:

The internet policy is not clear, they use it to steal people.

I bought the $79 package and two months after they sent me two more packages. They took $160 from my credit card. I called to let them know that I did not want more products and I sent them back, unfortunanely, they stole my money. They said that they receive many boxes a day and that probably they lost mine. It was impossible to talk to someone that could solve my problem. I would not recommend to do bussines with Proactive. This is scam. Don't waste your time and money. You will have less headackes.

I used this horrid treatment for 2 years and I dont know why I did it for that long!!!! I even tried the "EXTRA STRENGTH" version which was a waste of time! If anything your better off using nothing to wash your face, this is the biggest rip off!!!!!

Pros:

Pretty much NOTHING!

Cons:

Takes at least 2 weeks of using before it works.
EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Customer Service is HORRIBLE
Stains EVERYTHING that is touches

I'm so frustrated with Proactiv. I started in the beginning of August and first of all, my skin got 10 times worse before it actually started working. It was so itchy and red for the first week or two. It stained every single wash cloth that I have. Completely bleached. And the bottom line with this product is it's so EXPENSIVE. The first shipment "30 day trial" is only 19.95, but the bottles are SOOOOO tiny!!! And the second shipment, I THOUGHT was only $32something, from what Customer Service told me, well when I got the invoice it was indeed $32 -- PLUS 2 more payments of $19.99. Close to $73.00 for the FACE WASH? NO WAY! I sent it back and asked for my Mastercard to be credited, they told me it would take at least 4-6 weeks until they got it back (the shipment) so I went to the post office and got a confirmation number. Indeed it was delivered in 3 days!!! I called them and they claim that it will still take 4-6 weeks to credit my account. In the meantime, a second payment was posted to my bank account. I am infuriated with this company, I hope they go under (which, they won't with prices like that) and will NOT EVER recommend it to ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So when I say "Price Paid - $78.00" That is what I've paid to date for this CRAP, and I'm sure they'll continue charging me until it's actually credited.

Pros:

XXX

Cons:

Burned My Skin
Bleached everything
SCAM

The product burned my skin, I tried to stick with it, my my face got to irritated that I broke out in bumps. Two weeks after canceling, I recieved my first not intoductory but three month supply. After calling they confirmed that I had canceled but not in time to stop the first shipment. Really, it takes over a week to stop you from shipping an item, in this digital age, I think I got scammed. I sent it back but lost the shiping and handling they charged me to ship it to me and I had to pay to ship it back. This experience was a total waste of time and money!

Pros:

Dry, very strong, doesn't work well, expensive, poor customer service, poor delivery.

Cons:

It used to work.

I've used this product for more than a year and after a month it started to work but after a while this product is just a pain. Very expensive compared to other acne products and poor service I ended up refunding my last product and canceling account my. Do not buy this product seriously you won't benefit from it!

Didn't work, ridiculously expensive,was like pulling teeth to cancel membership

I paid a fortune for this stuff and was hoping that this would Finally do it. I was let down again. It got a bit clearer but went back to the way it was after using it for a while. Waste of time and very discouraging.
