Pros:

None

Cons:

The refining mask caused an allergic reaction all over my chin. Caused my face to break out really really bad after the rash cleared up.

Okay, so I have used Proactive for about 2 years and it worked SO well. Then they get the genius idea to CHANGE THE FORMULA!!!! I ran out of the older set so I reordered the new one. I used it and my face was sooooo dry. Then I used it again the next day, minus the refining mask, and the next morning I had 3 under the skin pimples (Which I rarely ever get. At most I will have one and it's not even bad.) It made me sooo mad that it caused my skin to be in such bad shape because it used to work wonders!

Pros:

None!

Cons:

Pricey!
It gave me much more acne than I had before...I have never had this much acne =(

I wouldn't EVER recommend this product to anyone! It left my face with worse acne, red marks and scars! I really can't believe this has happened to me I thought it would really help clearing out my skin and it made it much worse!

Cons:

over priced face soap it would be better you you to got to origins to get face product.
They will bill you for product that you did not ask for or want. event though you send back the product I was never refunded for the product 50.00. do not buy from this company. it is a rip off.

Pros:

I notice a difference in about a week after using Pro Activ..

Cons:

Left my skin very dry.

Very, very, very bad product. Pro Activ statrted working but left my skin very dry. I bought the Proactiv from a mall so i received a great deal. I will never waiste my money again on proactiv. The only thing that is good is the refining mask only. i used the refining mask as a spot treatment. I went back to using Aveeno bar soap and Noxema since i received better results.

Pros:

at the beginig seems to work but later s like drog if you try it once you become part of it, they knew well what they were doing when they invented this product their purpose is to keep u addicted because when u stop it all comes back thats the truth

Cons:

I Started to use this product two years ago and every time that I stop using it comes back worse and worse now my skin its so peeled, and irritated, obviosly this is an adictive product and worse part is that you get premature ageing.

THINK TWISE O MORE THAN THAT THIS PRODUCT IS RUINING MY LIFE, AND IT CAN RUIN YOURS AS WELL, IM GOING TO GET HELP FROM A REAL PROFESIONAL DERMATOLOGIST, NOT ANYMORE FROM THIS SCAMERS PROFIT MAKING ORGANIZATION.

Pros:

Didnt see much change if any...

Cons:

Very expensive. Also... I ordered online and fell into the scam as well. They charge your credit card and don't tell you that they are going to. When I spoke to customer service they were very rude and tried calling me a liar.

I would not recommend this company or product.

Pros:

For about two days, your skin feels incredibly smooth and clean.

Cons:

Then it hits you. You will have MORE breakouts than ever. It BURNS after a couple days, you get the worst acne of your entire life, you get acne all over your face, even where you've never had it before. It stinks and requires 3/4 steps twice a day.

If you are looking to be a grotesque, slimy, pimply monster for halloween, then this might be the product for you. That is the result you will get within 3 days. This was a terrible waste of money because I paid like $30 to burn and pimple my skin. You get terrible, painful, infected pimples like you've never had before. DO NOT try it, even if you are given it for free. It wrecks your skin terribly. I now have to spend weeks trying to get rid of the mess proactiv has made on my face. I stuck it out for about three weeks, doing the treatments twice daily, trying to keep faith, but it eventually hurt so bad I had to give up. DO NOT listen to Jessica Simpson, this easily qualifies as the WORST thing I have ever bought.

Pros:

I don't have any pros for this product! It makes your eyes burn!

Cons:

Bought this over the summer of 09 because my forehead would get really oily and break out due to the humidity and was very dissatisfied. The product smells absolutely horribe! Like eveyone says it burns your skin and turns it red!

Product does not work for me! My skin broke out even more and became irritated. Plus I was billed 3 months later and mailed a second package without my knowledge.
