SCAM! CLOTHES STAINER! DOES NOT WORK!

Cons:

Stains Clothes
Stops working after 2 days
Scammers

Ordered this garbage to get rid of recent acne that I had acquired from a new job that exposed me to dirt and caused me to sweat constantly. Only worked for the first two days, after that it did nothing but stain my clothes. I called customer service and told them to cancel any recurring orders and told them I wanted nothing to do with their product. A month later, a new packet of Proactiv garbage arrives in my mail box and I am billed for the ridiculous amount of $90.00. It turns out that a recurring order of a 3-month supply of the crap was put on my account. After calling and arguing with customer service, they said I could return my package, but I would be paying the S&H costs ($10) and it would take 5-7 weeks to process and get my money back. Really? This is the most unprofessional, scamming, and unethical business I have ever seen. Do not waste your time with these scammers.

Skin Burns Face Leaves Scars afterwards

Pros:

None

Cons:

Leaves Scars Afterwards
Red Spots Black Spots
Irrates Skin

I started Proactive when I was 18 thinking that it would heal the acne that was coming out... I was dead wrong... instead it made me break out even more with a irritation that was unbearable. The lady at the mall kept saying to use it cause you're skin will get use to it "yeah right" after i came back, she told me "ohh proactive is not for you're skin then" waste of money and very expensive too

Don't waste your money nothing but scammers
Using proactive you will never be completly cured from acne I felt like my skin looked better after I stoped. Also look up custumer service reviews there's proof that they are crooks don't ever give them your card number. I had so many problems with them sending products after I canceled. Just don't do it there are so many different products out there.

TERRIBLE

Pros:

Works for like a week

Cons:

Drys skin
Makes it red
Makes your skin break out

I started breaking out in fourth grade, with minor pimples, so my mom bought me proactiv. It worked for about a week, then my skin got red and broke out. It was terrible. I was a little chubby and now i had zits, so the stress got worse and worse. Now I am in seventh grade and my skin is almost clear, but proactiv started this nightmare i went through with my skin... IT'S A SCAM DO NOT BUY THIS TERRIBLE PRODUCT!

allergic!!!

Pros:

works (for the most part)

Cons:

i am allergic to it
expensive
cant stop using it

ok well alot of my friends were using proactiv and all with generally the same skin type as me and so i decided to give it a try the very first time i used it my face looked like a tomato the next day it was bright red and it hurt to touch and i thought ok maybe i just used to much and i asked my friends they all said that it happened to them the first time they used it to and so i decided to keep trying it and so i was using it for a while and then stopped and tried a different on and went back to proactiv no problems it was working and my skin was clearing up (my skin wasn't that bad before) and so then i started breaking out in to hives on my neck and i thought it was my foundation so i started using a different one and i was still getting hives and my neck was itchy etc. the thing is i have never had sensitive skin and my acne has never been that bad like it was bad but not severe but obviously when i figured out i was allergic to proactiv i stopped using it, the only thing about when you stop using proactiv ur skin goes insane, because ur skin gets "addicted" to proactiv when you stop it freaks out and breaks out even worse then it was before (which is what is happening to me now) and everyone i know who is off proactiv slowly went off it like they would go from everyday to every other day to every two days etc etc which i cant do cuz i am allergic to it. the other thing is well on proactiv it actually is painful to put anything that isnt from the proactive line on your face.

Pros:

Non.

Cons:

Severly harsh on your skin.
After a couple of weeks of use, my skin was getting more and more cystic pimples.
After I have stopped, my face got plaqued with severe cystic acne all over my skin which I really struggled with. After I stopped using it my acne slowly cleared up.

NEVER USE IT. IT'S SO BAD FOR YOUR SKIN.

NEVER USE IT. THEY MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IT'S THE SAVING GRACE FOR ACNE WITH ALL THOSE CELEBRITIES BUT IT'S ACTUALLY POISON FOR SKIN. I learned this the hard way so please don't go through what I did by purchasing this product.

Cons:

Proactiv is a scam!

Do not order it. They take $30 out of my bank account every month even after I canceled it. I just got off the phone with them again. Ordering Proactive is the biggest mistake I have ever made!

I used this after Neutrogena and Clean and Clear didn't work for me. This wasn't much better. It did seem a little stronger because it made my skin a little redder and dryer but didn't help my acne at all.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

Made my skin very tight and dry and the skin started to peel. left acne dark spots all over my face. Didn't work at all. They had told me I would get it for three months and then if I wasn't happy they would cancel it. however when I did cancel they said they were going to take another 20 $, I asked if I would get more product but they said no. I was ripped of, lost a lot of money and it didn't even clear up my face

DONT"T BUY PROACTIV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
