I hAte proactive
This stuff called proactive is not a good product especially for the skin, it is too harsh for the skin. I used proactive and It had me regret it my whole life, not only I wasted my money, but my skin totally dried out, darkened, and burnt. Now I'm totally dissatisfied and angry at myself for trying out something on my skin that later on would have me feeling down and shameful about myself. I do not recommand this stuff proactive to nobody else.

Cons:

Dries skin
Irritates
Horrid customer service
Almost impossible to cancel subscription

Do not under any circumstances buy this crap!! This is a complete scam by proactive and they should be ashamed! Their garbage doesn't work and when you try to cancel they put you on hold, tell you that it's cancelled and in 3 weeks send you another package while charging you. They're a mess stay far far away from these excuses of human beings that created this ponzy scheme while ripping people off!

Pros:

none

Cons:

After using for 5 months i saw barley any acne going away. then i put on Proactiv one day and it comletely turned my face burgundy and burnt it. the doctor said it was a chemical bun and i t would take a while to go away. after two weeks it is now gone but still hurts the same. it peeled severly and i new have huge splotches of pale while skin on my face now that the peeling is done.

I will never use agian. Acne Free -severe- is a 10 times better product and cheaper

Pros:

Removes a minuscule amount of acne

Cons:

Causes extreme dryness and stiffness of the face even with the use of moisturizer

Burns for a while

Smells awful

Multiple steps make it very tedious

This product was horrid. After the first couple of days it started clearing out a little bit of acne. Then it got progressively worse. I started breaking out more and my face was extremely dry and stiff. It was to the point where it felt like I injected it with botox. If you pair the product with the facial mask, it smells like rotten eggs. Actually, that's offensive to rotten eggs. It smells like garbage wrapped in garlic that was thrown into a den of skunks.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

You can use over the counter products.

This is a big scam. Do not send your credit card number. They will keep charging you and the price is only an initial price. I was disappointed in how it works and the fact that it is a big scam.

Alot. It took about 4 days to come in the mail, which wasnt too bad but when it got it they were these really tiny bottles. Then i used it for a week and it was the WORST thing ive ever used!!! It made me breakout worse then ive ever broken out!!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Horrible customer service!

The customer service individual that worked with me was very rude. I was promised a 60 day money back guarantee and I never received it. Then I called back in and said that I was too late for the money back guarantee. Plus he treated me very very poorly. I work in customer service myself and I know to never treat a customer the way he treated me. I am very upset and would never recommend proactive to anyone!
