Pros:

None.

Cons:

Terrible product smell, overpriced, poor customer service, and if you didn't like the product and you forgot to cancel your Proactiv account they will still send you another $88 kit in 2 months since your first purchase

Proactiv is not worth your money and all the hassle with product return

Pros:

Can't think of any

Cons:

Dries out skin, causes more break outs than I had and caused boils, very attractive!
After using it for a few days my skin is so dry and unhealthy.

This product is made for people with severe ache who have oily skin. I would not recommended it either. Watch out for special promo offer, they already have more coming to you before you can use what you have. See a dermatologist.

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:

Can buy online in a set

Cons:

Expensive, harsh, creates more pimples

When spending 40 plus dollars on an acne system you expect a top quality product in a size that will last. Well, when you get the starter kit the bottles are TINY! They would maybe last you a month or two. Then after only one day of use my face started to get very red and bumpy. By day two I had twice as many zits as before and on top of that it hurt to move my face at all. I then began to get large pimples, twice the size I have ever gotten that were painful and very enflamed. That was the final straw. I quit using New Proactiv and switched to using Cetaphil face wash, a Netrogena toner, and Olay lotion and my face is finally back to normal and even better than before!

How is this business still successful?
I am crying. Worst decision ever. Adam Levine, you've ruined you for me. I have never had had a worse reaction to anything ever. Known allergies: proactiv & all of its sh*tty associates & celebrity endorsers. Going back to neutrogena pink grapefruit fa sho. Fck you rodan & fields!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Expensive! Plus, made my sons acne worse. I returned the product, but never got my money back! Our son used it consistently for over a month. Did nothing, but irritate his acne.

Ended up using dial anti bacterial soap, which his pharmacist recommend before using his prescription creme. His acne is better...

Like most other reviews say, it worked for a while but I still broke out. I returned an order and never received credit for it. You can't cancel online, you have to call. I do not recommend ths product. Use your money to eat healthy instead.

Pros:

- it worked for a while before it effed me over.
- the refining mask was good for drying out pimples overnight

Cons:

- dries out skin
- scam
- expensive and not alot of product
- ineffective long term
- breaks you out like a motherffff
- you wont want to leave the house bc you have such bad skin

DO NOT BUY PROACTIV IF YOU ARE A SMART PERSON WHO DOESNT WANT TO PAY A COMPANY FOR A FACE FULL OF PIMPLES. NO THANKS Words cannot describe how enraged and scammed that I feel. I have had acne since elementry school. after seeing how 'magical' proactive is cracked up to be i decided to order it. So yeah at first it worked. And then youre like oh yeah!!! Found the secret! But no gullible consumers that is not the case. Proactive worked. Then stopped working. And thats when the nightmare starts. It really just irritated my skin so bad that it broke me out all over my cheeks (i never had breakouts there). Now im ashamed to walk out of the house and my self esteem has tanked below zero. I have such anger for proactiv that i made an account on this website to let yall know so you wont end up like me. It was theft thats what it was. Youre dependant on their stupid system that doesnt end up working long term... and then when you go off it to try something else you get a whole party of shhiiiit on your face.
