Pros:

It seemed to work for a week....

Cons:

dried it out and dulled my skin, i have NEVER looked so dull and grey!

My skin immediately improved once I finally trusted my gut instinct and stopped using proactiv. Never will I buy it again.

Pros:

Got rid of acne

Cons:

Dried my skin out so bad I had to go get a facial to try and remove built up dried skin. Then the company ships you more solution and charges your account before you get a chance to cancel.

Do not use. Spent more money trying to get my skin back to normal, and had to pay for shipping on product I returned

Pros:

does clear skin

Cons:

total sham

they sign you up for $19.95 & tell you that you will get billed monthly... what they dont tell you is that each shipment that you get is $60 something & they break down the payments. I went to cancel & they told me i still owed for $40 for the last shipment i was sent. i asked if i could send that shipment back & they said yes but it would take 60-90 days to refund my money. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!

Pros:

nothing

Cons:

I ordered proactiv 2 years ago for 19.95 (their TV offer). At the time, the bottles were 4 oz, which was great and lasted me a decent amount of time. I decided to give it a go again (keep in mind 39.95 this time) and I got sent 2 oz bottles. To me, that is travel size. When I called customer service and explained this dilemma all they could say was that the price of proactiv has gone up. So why does the price go up but the size go down? BECAUSE IT IS A SCAM.

I got ripped off and will never order from this company again. EVER.

Pros:

None

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.

doesn't work and they kept billing me AFTER I canceled my membership. They also shipped and billed for extras such as eye cream that I did NOT order

This is a sham...once they get your credit card info they have free reign and bill you whatever and whenever...even AFTER you call and cancel! I am actually having to close my credit card account because of these guys so uhhh..thanks for NOTHING!

Pros:

Decent Product

Cons:

Auto Billing

I bought Proactive in College (10 years ago) and paid 19.99 a month for 30 day supply. I figured that's what they were advertising again, so I ordered more for my wife a few months ago. We paid the 19.95 they advertise now, and we noticed the bottles were smaller. We figured they just got cheap on us. We called and canceled because the acne cleared up and we found some good stuff at the store that was basically the same stuff and worked just as well. We canceled too late and the second shipment was on it's way. We figured it was fine.. another 19.95. No problem. Instead, it was more like 67.00. We didn't even know or open the box. I checked my account a few months later and realized they sent us a 90 day supply. Too late to return it now. They got us. Keep this in mind if you buy! There are alternatives that are basically the same product. Don't fall for their marketing and do some research. It will save you money.

Cons:

The product is harsh on skin and the customer service is the worst.

I will never use Proactiv Solution again. My first problem was that the product was much too harsh for my skin, leaving it sore and burning. When I called to cancel it, the phone attendant told me that I was signed into receiving shipments for the next year, But she could change it to the sensitive skin version. That never happened, even after numerous calls. The last time I called, I asked the lady if my year was up and if I could cancel. She had told me I could have canceled at any time and I was not signed into any time frame with them. Once I canceled my account, Proactiv Representative phoned my home 3 times a day, everyday, until I finally became unhinged on the representative and asked to speak to a manager... Poor product and poor service. Nothing left me wanting to run back.
