Pros:

I dont have anything good to say about this product because you cant deal with them. My first time of buying it was a nightmare. They overcharged my account and when I phone to inquire, I was hung up on.Some bitch called Rachel. They stressed me out big time. If you find it in a store, you can buy and try but never give out your credit card info. to them. They advertised for free shipping and they dont honour it.

Cons:

My credit card was charged almost $250 over 1/12 month period as if it were to be grocery and no proactive and when I phoned to find out , I attracted a rude representative who hung up on me.I have lost hope of even trying to use it. Its ridiculous, they advertise for things they cannot abide by. I dont believe it works because of their behaviour and never want anyone falling in that predicament and will not recommend that to anyone.

Stay away if you have to use your credit card. If you buy online, they will send you something different and they will overcharge you. They claim to have ship items to me and they cant produce tracking numbers meanwhile they charge me but have not receive all.Customer service is very poor, very irresponsible company. Dont say I warned you!!!

Pros:

Smells okay. Easy storage.

Cons:

When you first use it it causes breakouts. Then it "clears it up" that is what i have been told but I broke out and never got cleared up until I stopped using it. For my sister she brokeout than cleared up. You have to use it consistently or it doesn't work. The toner made my skin burn.

It is a waste of money. Yes it does work for some people but not many. No, no, no, no!

Smells decent. Can get a good deal on kits when special offers are available and used.

I hate this stuff! It burns, it's too harsh, and it just doesn't work!! Don't waste your time or money.

Again, don't waste your time or money.

Pros:

XXX

Cons:

Burned My Skin
Bleached everything
SCAM

The product burned my skin, I tried to stick with it, my my face got to irritated that I broke out in bumps. Two weeks after canceling, I recieved my first not intoductory but three month supply. After calling they confirmed that I had canceled but not in time to stop the first shipment. Really, it takes over a week to stop you from shipping an item, in this digital age, I think I got scammed. I sent it back but lost the shiping and handling they charged me to ship it to me and I had to pay to ship it back. This experience was a total waste of time and money!

Pros:

Make face look and feel soft

Cons:

No Longer works for my acne

I am very disappointed. I started using proactive June of 2000. I use to live and swear by Proactive. I recommended it to everyone, I would have done an infomercial, thats how good it use to clear my acne...Now they have changed something in it, and saying it is New and Improved, but whatever they did, they have really messed it up. It no longer clears or stops my breakouts. I wish they would go back to the old recipe. Why try to fix something that wasnt broke?

Pros:

Has slowly started to clear my skin. SLOWLY.

Cons:

This is a SCAM. They don't tell you when you order the first $19.95 set that they will send you and HUGE set less about a month later. Then charge you 3 payments of 19.95 + 7.99 for the inital suprise. you can send it back but they only will refund the $19.95.

BIGGEST SCAM EVER. they take advantage of peole with FALSE ADVERTISING and you will end up paying $7.99 for a delievery that you DID NOT ASK FOR. AVOID PROACTIVE.

Pros:

made my skin softer, but my acne worse!!

Cons:

Everything! I started to get even MORE acne than I already had- cystic, small bumps, everything. .

I tried this product when I had light acne- when I was younger- it worked for me then; made my skin clear and soft. But now I have very severe acne, and it made my skin softer, but didnt clear up my acne at all! I called up ProActive and they told me that I would break out more to purge out the bad acne I already have, but I continued to have worse skin for MONTHS after using it, so I quit completely. I will never go back to this product ever again.
