Pros:

None for me but the refining mask helped my dark circles...

Cons:

It made my skin more oily than ever. It aggravated my acne that it became a nasty cluster. Acne was always red and itchy. It was time consuming.

Expensive. It didn't work. It doesn't appear to work on african american skin. I'm only half and it did nothing for me. They build this product to something amazing, it only made what was moderate acne become severe for me. It didn't work for my oily skin, doesn't work for my friends with dry skin this product just doesn't work for many people. After I stopped using this and switched products, my acne got under control again.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Made my skin a tight dry mess! I am 40 years old and after using this for a week, it made my skin really tight and dry and seems to have aged my skin

I had used this product 10 years ago, and it seemed to work. I don't know if this has something to do with age, but the product is horrible to my skin now. I'm African American and I need an acne treatment that will moisturize my skin, not dry it out. I wont be able to stand another day with using this product, even with the green tea moisturizer my skin is still extremely dry after use.

-way more expensive than they lead you to believe...
-doesn't work
-drys skin

I was really excited to try it, what with the convincing ads and all. I mean, if Jessica Simpson says it work, it must! Well, I got some, and it did nothing. Trust me, I REALLY wanted it to work but... no luck.

Pros:

Cons:

Price, too many steps, ruins skin

I used Proactiv Solutions for about 5 months...it ruined my skin. I thought it helped the first few times I used it WRONG after about 3 days my face turned bright red, skin was very tight, it felt like it was on fire then my skin started peeling off. I called their customer service and I did exactly what they told me to...it didn't help. It took about 6 months for my face to recover. Please save your face the pain don't try it.

Pros:

I have nothing good to say about this product or the customer service. Extreme waste of money!

Cons:

The products were extremely harsh. Adding to the acne with drying and irritation. There was no option available for customization of the order/products and not until I cancelled was I given the option of a "gentle line". Two months after cancellation I've now been offered to come back at less than 1/2 the price, with no shipping charges and full customization. Funny that wasn't offered from the beginning.

Do not use unless you are looking to damage your skin at excessive pricing!
