Pros:

money back gaurantee

Cons:

made acne worst

tried this once when i was in high school and it made me break out within the 1st week of trying it. So a few years later i decided to try it again thinking maybe because i only used it for a week i didnt get the full effect. i tried it for about 2months and nothing! i'd say try it at your own risk

Pros:

I got a deal so it wasn't too expensive

Cons:

Didn't work
Dried out my skin pretty bad

This is no different than anything you can buy at the drugstore. Just topicals that may help slight acne but will not do anything for moderate to significant acne. You need something to get it out of your body - I've tried a few of those treatments and will post reviews for those.

Pros:

It did reduce my blemishes

Cons:

Face never really got clear
8 weeks and counting, still no refund for my unopened, $100, 90 day kit

It doesn't work any better than other products that you can get at WalMart. So I decided instead of trying to get a refund for the product I had used, I just sent back the new products they automatically sent me which was a 90 day kit that they billed me about $100 for. I sent it back 8 weeks ago, unopened, I had chacked with customer service and I was still in th ereimbursement window. I have not gotten a rfund yet. Buyer beware, this is a subscription program and they don't send 30 day kits after your introductory kit, they send 90 day kits. It is easy to get them to cancel future shipments, but once they have one coming to your house, good luck getting your money back!!!! But, I do suggest that you try Max Clarity. That syatem has totally cleared my skin. I have had bad acne with most blemished being the ones that feel like really big hard lumps under the skin that take a couple weeks to go away. I haven't had a big blemish like that since I started using Max Clarity 2 months ago. It worked fast and has been th ebest thing I have tried including prescription treatments.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Expensive
Terrible customer Service
Got Acne in places never had it
Didnt work!
False hope

I registered at this place specially to tell my tale of how horrible proactive is. Not on did it not work AT ALL for me, it in fact made me break out in places I had no acne where the soultion dripped onto (neck area) and the zits were bit and hurt. After canceling proactive, I continued to get billed for it for 3 months straight! Many calls to them and I still havent been refunded my 70+ dollars. What a waste! My advise is go with something you can buy at the local drug store or if its super bad, like in my case visit a doctor.

Pros:

Benzoyl Peroxide in the refining lotion does help. I got a free towel

Cons:

Doesn't work as a system, Bleaches your towels!

I'm glad I tried Proactiv because it introduced me to Benzoyl Peroxide (it works people! If you haven't tried it yet get the Acne.org stuff and DO IT!). So the repairing lotion is relatively good because of the BP, but its way more expensive than other creams anyway. The rest is JUNK. The cleanser is far to harsh and scrubby, it brought back acne on my forehead that had cleared up 2 years ago. Toning is bad, don't do it. It does nothing for acne and Proactiv is no different. The refining mask I got free with the pack I bought was okay, but not superior to any other mud mask. If you get this, use the free towel to dry your face because otherwise you will have to chuck out your good towels

Pros:

I dont have anything good to say about this product because you cant deal with them. My first time of buying it was a nightmare. They overcharged my account and when I phone to inquire, I was hung up on.Some bitch called Rachel. They stressed me out big time. If you find it in a store, you can buy and try but never give out your credit card info. to them. They advertised for free shipping and they dont honour it.

Cons:

My credit card was charged almost $250 over 1/12 month period as if it were to be grocery and no proactive and when I phoned to find out , I attracted a rude representative who hung up on me.I have lost hope of even trying to use it. Its ridiculous, they advertise for things they cannot abide by. I dont believe it works because of their behaviour and never want anyone falling in that predicament and will not recommend that to anyone.

Stay away if you have to use your credit card. If you buy online, they will send you something different and they will overcharge you. They claim to have ship items to me and they cant produce tracking numbers meanwhile they charge me but have not receive all.Customer service is very poor, very irresponsible company. Dont say I warned you!!!

Pros:

Smells decent. Can get a good deal on kits when special offers are available and used.

Cons:

I hate this stuff! It burns, it's too harsh, and it just doesn't work!! Don't waste your time or money.

Again, don't waste your time or money.

Pros:

Has slowly started to clear my skin. SLOWLY.

Cons:

This is a SCAM. They don't tell you when you order the first $19.95 set that they will send you and HUGE set less about a month later. Then charge you 3 payments of 19.95 + 7.99 for the inital suprise. you can send it back but they only will refund the $19.95.

BIGGEST SCAM EVER. they take advantage of peole with FALSE ADVERTISING and you will end up paying $7.99 for a delievery that you DID NOT ASK FOR. AVOID PROACTIVE.

not trustworthy

I received a flyer in the mail for a $19.95 package with two free gifts. I have yet to receive what was promised. It was a bate and switch case where they sent me a package for $45.00.
