Pros:

The sulphur mask

Cons:

Everything Else

Within two days of initial use my face got much worst. At first I thought it would get worst before it got better. NO WAY!!! I eventually stopped. I only got sucked into the scam because my sister used it (to no avail) and they advertise SOOOOO Much on tv.It's not worth it...at all. You start paying $20 but they keep billing about $40 every month or three months. I never had a problem with customer service though.

Pros:

EVERYTHING!

Cons:

-a little drying to skin at beginnning

-have to wear sunscreen on your face when tanning outside for an extended amount of time

I LOVE Proactiv Solution! I've tried every product possible and nothing worked as well as Proactiv did. I was a little nervous at first because it was very drying to my skin and didn't work right off as I anticipated. But i kept using it and within 2-3 weeks I had no acne whatsoever! The Refining Mask is awesome! When you have a blemish, just a dab before bed and within 1-3 days, it's gone! No other product has worked so quickly! It is a little on the expensive side, I ordered my first system through Proactiv itself for $19.95, but when it was time to re-order (and you don't get it for $19.95), I found it ALOT cheaper on [link removed]! I hope this review helps you make the decision to use this product!

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

THE WORST SERVICE FROM ANY COMPANY. FAILURE PRODUCT.

Do not get sucked into this product or any introduction rates they may offer. I never received any package from them yet the charged my credit and continued to charge me for continuous service. They have no customer service. All the bad reviews for proactiv are true and deserved.

...but if you have extra $70, and if you really want to spend time to put that HELPLESS liquid and cream on your face, if you believe that your case might be different than others', and this crap will help you, go ahead and try it... I've never written any reviews on the products I was buying online b/c don't want to spend my time on that(or sometimes just b/c of laziness) But this time I could not stay quiet! I just want to WARN you so you DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE!!!! P.S. The customer service is RIDICULOUS!!! Impossible to return it and get refund

Pros:

My daughter used this throughout high school and college. She had good results for a while, then an immunity built up and it no longer worked.

Cons:

Did not receive shipment? Guess what? They'll credit your stuff, but not the shipping. Have been hounding me for $5.95 for 3 months even after credit card dispute was taken care of.

Product OK Business Practice: Not so much

Pros:

None! This horrible product destroyed my skin.

Cons:

- Makes acne 1000000x WORSE than it already is.
Causes you to break out in a million painful white heads.
Makes skin inflamed and irritated.
Ruins skin tone
Makes skin flaky and blotchy

Thanks Proactive! I PAID $70 FOR THE SET AND NOW LOOK LIKE A LEPER. RIP OFF SCAM, STAY AWAY. Do not buy this product, it is a scam and only makes your acne worse and even harder to treat. I used to have frequent break outs and thought that this product would put an end to that. Instead it made my skin SO BAD that I look like a leper. After two days of using it (using it following all of this crap companies instructions) my face broke out in hundreds of tiny painful white heads that looked disgusting and hurt so much. Proactive has made my skin so bad that I never want to leave the house again. I have no idea how long it will take to clear up the damage proactive is done. It is better to have pimples than let that awful Proactive crap near your face because it makes your skin look so much worse than it did before.

Pros:

A FEW of their products work okay. Not the actual 3 step system tho

Cons:

Dries your skin terribly, makes it red and flakey, burns, leaves your skin red for hours

I would not use his product unless you have very tough leather skin. I used it for about 4 months. It cleared up pimples that you have but it doesn't prevent them. It does not stop acne you always always get more. You continue to get them. It made my face so red And dry. And I realized that the proactiv made your skin more prone to scars and marks. Even if I had a little tiny pimple and I didn't pop it or touch it it woils leave a scar that will not go away. It's terrible. But their refining mask and their oil free moisture with SPF 15 are good products though.

Pros:

Clears Face quickly.
Feels clean.

Cons:

Smells funny.
Small amount for money.
Stains stuff.

This is a great product. I've been using it for a little over a month. My skin isn't ALL the way clear but mostly. And the one or two that are left are small and hardly seeable. They come back in different places but go away in about two days. Makes my skin soft and fresh felling. Defiantly recommend it. Anyway, everything has it's pros and cons. Nothing is 100 percent perfect and probably never will be.

Pros:

The Refining Mask
The Toner

Cons:

Too expensive for todays's economy

EyI first started using Proactive when it first ameo on the scene. Nothing else worked Proactiv did .... back then. Now they've watered it down and it does NOTHING for my face. Imagine my disappointment. Outta $60 and still have the same problem. Neutrogena Rapid Cleanse surpasses Proactive's promises as far as the cleanser goes. Plus it's only $9 at any drug store. However Proactive does have other products that are excellent in conjunction w/ other cleansers
