Pros:

None

Cons:

The refining mask caused an allergic reaction all over my chin. Caused my face to break out really really bad after the rash cleared up.

Okay, so I have used Proactive for about 2 years and it worked SO well. Then they get the genius idea to CHANGE THE FORMULA!!!! I ran out of the older set so I reordered the new one. I used it and my face was sooooo dry. Then I used it again the next day, minus the refining mask, and the next morning I had 3 under the skin pimples (Which I rarely ever get. At most I will have one and it's not even bad.) It made me sooo mad that it caused my skin to be in such bad shape because it used to work wonders!

Pros:

I don't see any.

Cons:

-3 step process
-Small bottles that break easily
-It dries your skin
-irritates it quite a bit
-Stings you skin
-Very hard to cancel shipping

I hated proactiv. I was about 12-13 when I used if for about a year or so. My acne was pretty bad at that point. I kept using it expecting something from it like it said on t.v. Bascally it dries and irritates your skin. NEVER WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CRAP.

not working, they send what you did not order, and charge more than you ordered! Do not deal with this kind of company!

Do not sign up with this company. They keep sending what you did not order and charge your credit card without permision.

DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS KIND OF COMPANY. I have to call more than three times to cancel my account. Do not give your credit number to this company!

Pros:

Helped skin a tiny bit.

Cons:

My skin is so dry that it sometimes hurts, and it's still not clear after 3-4 weeks of using proactiv.
They already send me more stuff, because I signed up online so i'm a member, apparently but I told them that I didn't what anymore because it don't help me. After waiting for 10 minutes for the customer service, listining to horrible waiting music, and talking to a person for 15 minutes, I got out of it. I have to send the next order back, which hopefully will be the last. I'm pissed at

Do not order proactiv. If you do, don't do it online, and when you call, make sure that they don't make you a member. Proactiv maybe help you a bit, but not in the long run, it's not worth it!

Pros:

It is relatively inexpensive and that is about it.

Cons:

It made my complexion worse (I did use it correctly; I know how to read and follow directions). I experienced dry spots, and breakouts to the 10th power. I am actually still trying to recuperate my skin two weeks after use.

Everyone's skin is different. The product may work for your skin type, but it definitely did NOT work for mine. *I really wanted to rate it a 0, but I did not have that option.
