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.

Pros:

Soft SMOOTH SKIN
Controls Oil
BEAUTIFUL SKIN

Cons:

NONE

I'm amazed. That is all I have to say. After Antibiotics, Cortisone Shots, Dermatologist Visits, Differin, and months of Depression it is pretty crazy that the solution to my acne is PROACTIV. I never thought it would work because of all the stupid celebrities that endorse it. I didn't understand how these 3 steps would help my acne. But they do, they really do. The 1st 2 weeks of Differin brought out a lot of the gunk... I had 4 bumps right along my chin that were terrible. After they went away I still had a lot of clogged pores on my jawline chin and many closed comedones on my forehead. I decided I wanted to give Proactiv a try since my Derm prescribed me Benzoyl Peroxide for during the day. The 5% she prescribed to me made my face look cakey shiny and weird. That's when I figured I would try Proactiv instead. I loved it so much I discontinued everything else, even antibiotics and use it twice a day sometimes just once. I am thrilled with my results. Thrilled. I bought the jumbo size the travel kit and the regular size because I never want to run out, I am in love. I hope it continues to work this well for me, I will never stop using it. Not only did it take the horrible cysts and clogged pores and comedones away but it makes my skin so beautifully smooth. The repairing lotion is awesome for controlling oil on my face which is usually a grease pit by noon. I do my proavtiv 3 steps and then just put some tinted moisturizer on top and I am set. I no longer have to cake on the makeup and I thank God for that everyday, I am so happy. I don't understand why there are so many bad reviews. GIVE IT A TRY PEOPLE!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU PROACTIV! I should be on the damn infomercial I am so ecstatic haa!! =)

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!!!

Pros:

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.

Pros:

None

Cons:

They trick you with there price of $19.99 for the shippment. Then they get you with the next shippment that they send right away and bill you in three installments of $29.99. that a total of $110.00 plus shipping cost. The product is too strong and will dry your face out and peel.

It's a scam!

Pros:

none really

Cons:

expensive, didn't work any better than clearasil, dried out my skin and made it feel tight

waste of money! i wish networks would stop airing these campaigns because they don't work! these celebrities maybe have 2-3 blackheads on their faces, not whiteheads or cystic acne. don't fool yourself.. save that money and go see a dermatologist. you'll thank yourself later!

The charge your credit card even you cancel the subscription and you have to pay for shipping if you want to return the product
The customer service is the worst, Also do not give them credit cards. They will start charging your credit card without authorization. They will send the packages and then you have to pay for the shipping to return the package. I post to stop the subscription after see that this bunch of cute but expensive bottles did not work. The did put a "stop for six months" after that they charged me and shipped a bunch of bottles to me. I called again, and I made sure to say cancel my subscription. Today it is five months after that, and they did it again. The shipping back cost me about 25 dollars. I replaced my credit card to make sure they do not charge me again. In the end, the product did not work as advertised
