Pros:

none

Cons:

This company is a rip off and I have reported them to the better business bureau. They are thieves.

I only bought 1 kit for my daughter to try out. I did not ask for anymore to be sent. I purchased it a few days before Christmas of 2009. It is now March 1, 2010. My original payment was $19.95. They have now taken an additional $67.71 for 3 more kits (of which I have only received 1)that I did not order and another one that is on the way. I spoke with a representative from Proactive,he said he could stop the last shipment from going out but could not stop the automatic withdrawal on March 18th even though it is only March 1st today. It bounced 2 checks at my bank which cost me an additional $62.00. I don't know if they think she needs to bathe in it or what, but she has only used half of the first kit before it irritated her skin so bad that she had to stop using it. Do not ever purchase any of this product or any other product they offer. They said as soon as I send back all the extra product they sent to me at my expense they they will give me back my money in 4-6 weeks and they won't cover the checks they bounced on me. I have to go to my bank and close my checking account and open a new one in order to make sure they don't continue to withdraw money from my account. I will never do business with this company ever again.

Pros:

ABSOLUTELY NONE

Cons:

WHERE DO I BEGIN?

I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW HORRIBLE THIS PRODUCT IS! First off, my acne never got better at all while I used this. I would say it got worse if anything. My skin BURNED and STUNG like crazy when I used it. After about a week, my skin dried up SOOOO bad. It was literally like I had on one of the clay masques that you put on your face. (Believe me, I am NOT exaggerating) When I even smiled or laughed, I felt my skin "crack". I couldn't even put make up on because it looked so disgusting when it sank into the dry cracks in my face. It was the worst experience of my life, and it took about a week and a half after I stopped using it for my skin to go back to it's normal texture. I would never reccommend this product to anyone. I can't believe that they are actually allowed to sell this.

Pros:

Smells nice

Cons:

Expensive, Made my acne a lot worse, horrible customer service.

Don't waste your time or money. My acne worsened and kept getting worse. I used the product as directed, called Proactiv to tell them that it was worse after 3 months and the customer service told me "It will get worse before it gets better" so I continued to use it for 6 months, and now I have deep, red and horrible scars due to the severity of the acne that this product has caused.

Pros:

The cleanser seemed to exfoliate well and the products did not over-dry my skin.

Cons:

The benzoyl peroxide comes in a 2oz. container and after 6+ years of using the products I still had moderate acne.

The products work to an extent. My skin definitely got worse when I quit using them, without switching to another product right after, but overall the products are not very effective and are very expensive.

Pros:

Exfoliates Nicely. Worked nicely for about 3 days.

Cons:

Keep in mind I follwed the instructions to a tee.. It dries my face out until it feels like sandpaper, then when I use the toner it burns for hours. I've had to stop using the repairng lotion all together, it burns even worse than the toner and dries my skin out even more. They sent me a bottle of Green Tea moisturizer which is nice stuff, but the itty bitty tube is all but gone. All in all it realy hasn't helped the acne - I have softer skin with just as many pimples.

It's not worth it.

Pros:

Dry, very strong, doesn't work well, expensive, poor customer service, poor delivery.

Cons:

It used to work.

I've used this product for more than a year and after a month it started to work but after a while this product is just a pain. Very expensive compared to other acne products and poor service I ended up refunding my last product and canceling account my. Do not buy this product seriously you won't benefit from it!
