Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Breaks you out more than before, skin burning, itching, and redness associated with this product. Causes dark spots due to the excessive amount of bumps that you will receive by using this product.

I would NEVER recommend this product to anyone. If you are breaking out then I suggest you go to a doctor and have them write you a prescription or use something over the counter like St. Ives or Queen Helene acne wash which has helped to clear up what Proactive caused. Their customer service sucks and they are rude. I also got tricked into buying a 90 day supply even though I only wanted the trial product and they wouldn't refund my money but instead argued with me about it. I couldn't remember what I paid but it was 90 something dollars

Pros:

No Pros

Cons:

They are very shady in the way they do business. I signed up for a 90 day supply that was advertised for 29.95 after 30 days I saw no improvement so I contacted them to inform them I no longer would like to use the product and they told me that I still have 2 payments left with a total of 107 dollars.

Not worth the amount charged, and the pricing is miss leading. You are better off getting the same stuff at wallgreens for 1/8 of the price.

Pros:

Sort of cleared skin

Cons:

Left skin SUPER DRY!!!

My skin got extremely flaky and dry! I couldn't even put cover up on. It looked so bad and SO FLAKY!!! I stopped using Proavtiv after about 4 days use. Bottom line? Do not use this product. Even a moisturizer has not helped me very much.

Pros:

clears up ski

Cons:

Expensive, the company will rip you of your money and will scam you. Also, they will send you packages once you have canceled your account. I have had to call back 4 times now to get my orders properly canceled. You will not receive your money back for packages for a month or so. Do not buy this product through the company. YOU WILL REGRET IT. Packages you did not order must be sent back shipping paid by you.Buy it in a store, a stand at the mall, or elsewhere. Dealing with this company=nightmar

good product, terrible company. Rating the customer service of the company would be a 1 out of 10.. And I am being generous with the 1.

Pros:

clears acne fast

Cons:

stops working after a while

I was so excited when I first tried this (many moons ago) because it cleared my face so quick! But then it started becomming less effective, and left my face very dry and irritated looking. I think the cleanser is to blame, because i still use the toner and the bp treatment. But I think the cleanser with bp is too much. Its too many harsh things! A harsh scrubby cleanser, a harsh glycolic toner and a harsh bp lotion. Too many harshys.

Pros:

Black heads gone

Cons:

Drying
Takes along time to pit every thing on
Expensive
Doesn't work
Ruins skin
Leaves dark red scars

I'm 14 I started using proactive when I was thirteen I never had bad acne a pimple or two every week. I thought that proactive would eliminate them all... Wrong I have been using proactive for about 6 months and my ance has never been worse. I kept telling my self that it will start working never did. Bottom line I'm tired of wasting my dads money on a product that doesn't work. I have started using Oxy maximum face wash that is only $4 and it works so much better. Just because its expensive and the celebrity's say they use doesn't mean its going to help you get clearer skin..

Pros:

Honestly nothing. It didn't clear up my skin at all and left it incredibly dry. Had a bit of an off scent as well.

Cons:

It didn't clear up my skin at all and left it incredibly dry. Had a bit of an off scent as well. Be VERY cautious before buying this product.

Not worth the money. Also take care when purchasing. I thought I was buying a one time kit, for 39.99. That is the first installment of a mandatory 3 time payment process. You will get two shipments and pay 99 dollars basically. Incredibly upset especially since I called before I purchased to make sure this wan't going to be the case. Lost a lot of money when it wasn't necessary.

Cons:

-does NOT work, at all
-costs too much
-they make you use it three times a day (too much for me)

I tried this when I was 19. I bought it for 3 months, thinking that would be enough time to clear my skin up. It was not, my face never cleared up. I would follow the instructions like my life depended on it, and nothing ever happened. This product will let you know in the instructions that the wash is just part of the procedure, you must also watch everything you eat and handle your stress. You should not have to do all of this just to make proactive work.
