Pros:

dried skin out

Cons:

did not improve my skin

I have a mild oily t-zone and that is where I was breaking out. ProActive did not help my skin if anything it made it break out worse. I tried the product for about 50 days and then I took it back. The customer service was actually helpful and I should be receiving my check back in the mail soon.

Pros:

none

Cons:

doesn't work and they kept billing me AFTER I canceled my membership. They also shipped and billed for extras such as eye cream that I did NOT order

This is a sham...once they get your credit card info they have free reign and bill you whatever and whenever...even AFTER you call and cancel! I am actually having to close my credit card account because of these guys so uhhh..thanks for NOTHING!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Didnt see any improvement after 5 months
ACNE and scarring continued their regular routine without faultering in the face of this product

I had tried dozens of facewashes (all at least 2 months), used spot treatment, prescription pills and creams from the doctor so I figured I would give ProActive a try since people talk so high of it. And it didnt change the state my skin was in at all unfortunately... Might work for some people, but it didnt work for me.

Pros:

Cons:

My face got even worse as I used this product as directed. The sales people are completely incompetent as well.

I use the Neutrogena Wave right now and that has worked so far :)

had to put a rating when this product doesn't even deserve half a star
im a teen girl born mixed race so i have tan skin and this practically bleached my face and didn't help with the acne either,i was so hung on trying to make this work but it didn't so i gave up on proactiv,the only thing i use from this brand is their rotating cleansing brush cause thats the only useful and helpful thing they have that actually WORKS.

Wow, I would highly recommend you to stop using the brush as well. The reason why I say this is because the brush type facial cleansing system will actually harm your skin! They are too rough for our faces. trust me. If you really need help with your acne and looking for good skin cleansing product, I will be happy to introduce you to what I use.

THIS DOES NOT WORK! DON'T BUY
I had high hopes for this product because the commercials looked promising, and some family members had great results with this product. I don't have severe acne but a few pimples here and there. I have used this for 3 months and have seen no difference in the appearance of my face. I do not recommend this product to anyone! I will go back to using spectrol jel for blemish prone skin, no harsh chemicals and does not leave your face red and dry after use.
