Disgusting!
I purchased this set with high hopes and within a few days my skin was awful. Sore, irritated and a worse break out then I started with. I was so disappointed when I received a second months worth and realised when I made the purchase I unintentionally opted for three months worth. However, the third month nothing arrived and even though I was charged I didn't dispute it as I absolutely can not bear this product! only to find the crooks took a further payment and entered me into a membership that you have to contact them to cancel AGAIN DID NOT EVEN SEND PRODUCTS! Customer service is shocking and I really hope they are picked up on watchdog! scandalous! I DO NOT recommend this product at all!!

My acne turned into cystic acne. DON'T BUY IT.
Bought it when I was 15 made my acne turn into cystic acne. F**ks up your skin. Stains your clothes. They keep on insisting to keep buying the product. They never shut up. Once you buy it they take money away from you and send you bigger bottles without permission. DON'T EVER BUY THIS EVER.

BURNS MY SKIN!!!
After suffering from minor acne at the age of 15 i turned to proactic. I found that it made my skin vreak out more and made fine lines and very uneven skin tone. 1 year late i still suffer breakouts. I used the proactiv repairing treatment (step3) after 15 minutes of painful burning i washed it off my face to find where i had apolied the treatment there were very visible burns on my face. I am so upset and cannot sress enough how bad this product is for your skin. Its money spent for burns and a face full of blemishes. I wish i could post a photo so people could see how bad the burns are.

Terrible Product. Terrible Company.
The treatment didn't work for me and caused major irritation leaving my skin peeling and raw. I will also say that proactive has the worst customer service department I have ever had the displeasure of working with. They took my credit card information at the time of purchase but didn't actually charge my account and then sent me to collections for a product I thought I had already paid for. I spent month attempting to work out the situation. The representatives were horrible, rude, and didn't give me the information I needed to clear the account. Proactive is a complete rip off and horrendously managed to boot. If I could give it no stars I would. Don't waste your money.

Cons:

Never use this product. It is such a horrible thing to use. And top of that they charge you for the products which you never recieved. Even though I ask them to cancel my subscription after 15 days, they send me more 2 packages which I never received. They had my phone number, email I'd and still they made me default and send my account to debt collection department. Very bad customer service and people there don't know how to speak. Guys these are thugs and liars.

Horrible product with horrible customer care.

Pros:

None for me

Cons:

Allergic reaction
Scaly skin
Redness
Swelling
Pain
Burning
Itching

I tried this product twice (with two years time between). Both times, within hours of using it my skin felt as though it was stretched tightly across my face. Within a day, it appeared as though I had scaly skin on my face (like cracked mud in a drought). I thought, perhaps, that I had used too much of the product the first time, so I tried it again with a very small amount...same outcome. If you have sensitive skin, I'd stay far away from this product.

Pros:

got rid of smaller blemishes

Cons:

aggravated nodular cystic acne
expensive
smells chemically
damages skin
caused me scaring
dried out skin
made skin very sensitive

Did not work for me and my nodular cystic acne. The renewing cleanser actually hurt me because my skin was so sensitive, and the moisturiser i found just sat upon the skin and wasn't absorbed also the moisturiser was very oily, the toner was probably the only good thing. the refining mask didn't do a good job of helping existing acne. Honestly this product is for people with light acne at most. It stripped my skin of its natural defences and left it susceptible to sun damage. Im currently on retin-a right now and havent had nearly half as much skin sensitivity as i did with proactiv. false advertising is all this product is. ***completely my opinion this product may have worked magic on someone else with my skin type but i was not impressed at all with it.

Pros:

Cleanser makes your skin feel soft

Cons:

at first felt as tho it was working, then broke my skin out so bad. Never had skin anywhere near as bad as this. 6months, on doctors prescriptions and still my face is a mess.

Very expensive hard to get your money back send out automatic shipments without really telling you made my light acne into really bad inflamed acne that I am finding to hard to get rid of!! Dont buy it

Pros:

Controlled breakouts once they happened

Cons:

Didn't stop breakouts
Never fully cleared up skin

Proactiv is a decent product, but it's overpriced and definitely overhyped. My results from it were a bit of a mixed bag. When I did breakout badly, by using the product I was able to get it under control within 3-4 days. The problem was tho, that next week I would break out again. It never did a decent job actually stopping, or even slowing breakouts. Plus, altho it did make my skin a little clearer over the two months I used it, my skin never fully cleared up. It only works so well, but at some point my skin stopped improving and just maintained.

Pros:

Completely cleared my skin, best acne treatment I have ever used.

Cons:

Bleaches towels but you are warned about this in advance and advised to use white towels

I have chronic moderate to severe hormonal adult acne. On the oral contraceptive pill I found I had completely clear skin but I wanted to come off the pill after 10 years of using it (I'm 36yrs). A couple of months after I stoped the pill my acne was back with a vengance. I've been using 50mg of Spiro daily and that has helped somewhat. I started using ProActiv two weeks ago an dhave had NO NEW BREAKOUTS SINCE. I am amazed how effective it has been, it is the best acne product I have ever used, my skin has never looked better. There was initial irritation/flaking/peeling but stick with it, the skin that is revealed after peeling is dewy and glowing and I feel that I look about 10 yrs younger.
