Pros:

None

Cons:

Overrated
Scam
Pricely
Horrible customer service
Rip off

Worked for me a little definitely expected a lot more. When I stopped using this treatment within 2 days my face broke out more then before. Also not to mention the system is pricey considering the bottles I received were traval size the ones that were a size bigger was three times the price. I canceled my subscription with pro active solutions yet I keep getting billed. This is a huge scam I would not recommend pro active solutions there are other ways to get rid of acne & not constantly get ripped off.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Causes severe irritation
Hard to cancel
I think this is a scam

When I used the products as instructed, my face swelled into an itchy red blob. It looked and felt like I had poison ivy on my entire face. When I cut back and only used one or two of the products at a time, there was absolutely no effect on my skin - I still had breakouts frequently. But the worst part of ProActiv is that it is very difficult to cancel your account. You cannot cancel online. I cancelled my account by phone today after discovering I "owe" them $100 on a shipment that is currently in the mail. At what point did I tell them I wanted $100 worth of product? NEVER. I will return the shipment (at my own expense, no less), and they told me they will refund all but $10 in shipping fees (which I feel I shouldn't owe because I wasn't notified of this shipment in advance or given the option to cancel prior to shipment), so this *cancellation* is costing me $20 at this point. I am very concerned that they will neglect to refund me. They told me not to expect my refund for 4 to 6 weeks. I own a small business and I can process credit card refunds instantly, so this delay doesn't make any sense at all to me. Stay far, far, far away from this. Even if it was an effective product, it isn't worth participating in this scam. I think they very much rely on people forgetting about shipments and neglecting to read credit card statements.

Pros:

There are people to talk to 24/7

Cons:

Do NOT buy this product. It might sound great with all the reviews and pros, but they put that out there so you will buy it. There is no contract saying you have to pay for the full amount, but they are trying to make me ( a 17 year old girl) pay for the product even though I want to cancel. You do not get a 60 day money back gaurente. I have not gotten my product and it was sent out on the 12th well today is the 27th, but they are still making me pay $30 for a product i have not gotten.

All they care about is getting your money. The customer service line wouldn't even give me my money back. The cancelation requires you to pay 3 months even if the month has not come yet, and you will not get that product even when you are paying it. IT IS A SCAM.

Pros:

great customer service
easy use
works the first time

Cons:

burns
stops working if you take a break
makes acne worse the second time around
expensive
time consuming

Proactiv worked wonders for me the first time I used it for light/moderate acne, but once I took a break to give my skin some recovery time and then began using Proactiv again, it broke me out horribly, and they changed the formula! Instead of the classic cleanser, they added some scrubbing beads that couldn't possibly be good for your skin twice a day everyday. I would say unless you have light acne and plan on using proactiv for the rest of your life, don't waste your time!

Pros:

I learned my lesson to not ever buy anything from Proactiv ever again.

Cons:

I could've spent $10 at walmart and gotten better results. I tried canceling my account 3 times and they're still charging my account and sending my product that I didn't ask for. The customer service is a joke. This is the worst experience I've EVER had with ordering anything.

DON'T GET IT! You'll regret it, it won't help your acne, it'll make it worse and if you do want a refund and to cancel your account be prepared for a long rough road of arguing with customer service and the management. I requested a shipping label in June and they said it'll get here in August.

Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Almost everything. It is very expensive for a product that does not work well. I saw some changes in the first week using proactive but a few weeks later I began to breakout almost everyday especially on my cheeks and chin. After every wash my face felt tight and really dry which i found really irritating. Once I finished my bottles I broke out REEEEALLY badly on my cheeks -.- way worse than how my skin looked before using proactive.

I believe proactive does work on some people, but it did not for me. The best and only safe option is to see a dermatologist!

Pros:

Proactiv definitely clears up my skin! It doesn't burn, leave rashes or break me out. It gives me a great clean and soft feeling. After just one use, my skin began to clear up.

For just $20, I got a 2 oz bottle of facial scrub (step 1), a toner (step 2) and a moisturizer (step 3), plus a free sample of their face mask and a green tea moisturizer! Totally worth every cent.
