Pros:

None .

Cons:

- dries out skin
- does not get rid of acne
- makes acne worse
- very hard to end the "contract"
- they keep charging you

I am 14 and i started using proactiv five months ago. I was really excited when i ordered it because it has helped so many people. The first week i started using it, it dried my skin and it did nothing for my acne. I was really dissapointed, but i kept using it to see if my results would be different. But NOTHING CHANGED ! My acne became even worse and the product bleached out my shirts, and towels. I would never buy proactiv ever again, but everyone's skin is different, it might work for you.

Pros:

Sulfar mask can be nice and the lotion really hydrates without getting oily skin

Cons:

EXPENSIVE
i like the stuff but I don't like it used together

I bought Proactiv from my local mall, because I heard about the issues people have with closing the account if they don't like it. Well I like the way it made my skin soft a little more radiant. But it did nothing for my acne after 2 months I said forget it because people also said once you stop using it it makes your skin worse well it didn't work so I said forget it. I stayed on it 2 times a day no difference at all. I do like the lotion the sulfar mask is really nice the toner i only use on my cheeks where the pores can be large and the face wash only where I break out which is my jawline(suffer from adult acne).But I believe adult acne is something inner I dont think my skins the issue

nope
I wish there was an option for 0 stars becuase this product deserves it. Proactiv is a scam for your money. I personally have combination oily skin but more towards the oily side. Within the first 2/3 days my skin was so dry I had to stop using it but i tried again and kept with it for about 3 months. I cannot emphasize how much this product doesnt work its drying and it burns and it does not clear acne I would recommend only to my worse enemies.

Pros:

acne improved slightly

Cons:

deceptive company
made skin hurt
drying

This is just benzoyl peroxide with a lot of celebrity endorsement. It's also a huge scam. I called to order the $19.95 special they promote all the time. Turns out, it was actually $19.95 (x3months which they automatically billed) and then you're signed up for a subscription service where they continue to send you new kits and bill you until you call and cancel. I only used the stuff for a couple weeks and decided it was junk. I should have sent it back, but i figured it was only twenty bucks and not worth the time and money to ship. Little did I know it was not only twenty bucks, and it was only when I called after getting a surprise second shipment that I found this out. The woman on the phone who I ordered the kit from did not make any of this clear. It's designed to be confusing so that people don't realize what they're signing up for. I feel like an idiot for falling for it.

Pros:

I don't like it at all, but if you buy it atleast you can say you tried it.

Cons:

Itchy
Expensive
Doesn't work, thousands of other BP products out there, cheaper and better.

I used this for over a year and anyways it turns out I'm allergic to BP hah! But anyways you pay 20 dollars a month for this stuff and by the third month you're stuck with like all the bottles of the lotion, and you're always out of the face wash and toner. It was a real bummer that it didn't work for me but that was a while ago and now I'm on anti biotics.

Pros:

The sulphur mask

Cons:

Everything Else

Within two days of initial use my face got much worst. At first I thought it would get worst before it got better. NO WAY!!! I eventually stopped. I only got sucked into the scam because my sister used it (to no avail) and they advertise SOOOOO Much on tv.It's not worth it...at all. You start paying $20 but they keep billing about $40 every month or three months. I never had a problem with customer service though.

Very sad that they manipulate the public into a scheme that they wouldn't think the would see from a what we thought was a reputable company? Slide of hand, magic show. Report this to your creditor. Cancel your card and have a new one issued and you will never have to deal with them again or worry about checking your acct. Karma, here's your sign!

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

Burned my skin and now they won't refund my money. Fortunately, Amex did but now they are still trying to collect from me for a shipment I didn't authorize. I hope they go out of business sooon or maybe someone will put them out of business with a law suit.

Don't Order!!!

I haven't found one pro on this product

Cons:

Everything.

From the minute after using this product my skin was dry,red an irritated. And after about a months use my skin had tiny little red bumps all over it and i still have acne. Not to mention my face is 10 times more oily. This product is way to harsh on your skin.
