Pros:

None.

Cons:

The Chemicals burned my skin, it made my acne worse- I had moderate acne to begin with, but Proactive made my acne turn into cystic acne- large, deep, painful acne that took FOREVER to go away. Then when I cancelled they continued to charge me after I sent their box back, stating they had a certain day return policy and I sent it too late, then they kept charging me. I had to sic my enraged husband on their terrible customer service.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!

Pros:

Gets rid of major blemishes and reduces redness

Everyone always says proactiv is so bad it never works but it works for me. I bought it a week ago and my major bumps are gone I still have a flew blemishes but there's no redness and it leaves my skin feeling clean. The reaso proactiv doesn't work for some people is all dependent on what kind of skin you have. I have normal skin and I think it works for oily skin but if you have dry skin I don't recommend using it. And buy the refining mask and I Spread a thin layer of it all over my chin and my forehead and I Leave it overnight and my skin isn't dry in the morning.

Cons:

They'll rip you off
Doesn't really work
They'll rip you off some more

Do NOT buy from them. I paid for my original package, then when they sent me another one, I immediately sent it back to avoid charges. I had a tracking number, so when I saw that it had arrived, i simply threw it away. BAD IDEA. They continued to charge me $70 for the package I sent back, but they "never received," and of course without that tracking number, I couldn't get a refund. Then, I later get another bill from some agency saying I still owed them money. Regret! Such a rip off!

Pros:

it is the only acne line i have ever used that has actually cleared my acne!

Cons:

i have a hard time getting information on the website as far as the other products they sell. i can not seem to look through a full product catalog?

i had beautiful skin until i turned 19....then bam! my skin was a mess! ive been to several dermatologists over the past 17 yrs. only to have very tramatizing experiences followed by temporary relief. i not only have "normal" acne, i also have cystic acne.i have tried every acne line under the sun, from drug store finds to top of the line. 3 yrs ago this past march my husband of 11yrs urged me to go back on proactiv. he stated - and he was 100% correct - that my skin has never been as clear and flawless as it is when i am using proactiv.after a week & 1/2 to 2 weeks of using the line as instructed my skin began to clear.now i can not only run to the store minus the war paint - i can hold my head up high, smile & make eye contact with my clients or whom ever else i happen to meet. using proactiv has made my world a happier place be!

-it made my face red
-stained everything not white
-acne got worse after stoped using it
-also my face got so red and dry after i had to go to a doctor go get a special $90.00 loton to help

I was 13 when i used this product i was so happy when it was coming in the mail but when i started to use it it didnt help really it cleared a couple of my zits but not really . Then after i stopped my face got extremly dry and my acne got worse then ever i had to go to the doctor to get a special lotion which cost my parents $90.00 which im still paying off by the way. Then i was pissed i called them and complaned and told them to make sure they never sent proacitv to me ever again. they said ok and hung up. About a month later i came home form school to find a big box of proactiv on my porch. i want inside look in the box to find a recipt for $74.25 i started to cry because that was on my moms credit card and she would be so mad . i told her what happened she got sora mad and paid to ship it back i never got anything else from them after my dad went to complain . PROACTIV I HATE YOU SO MUCH
