Cons:

This company is a scam. Very difficult to un-enroll from program. Will continue to sent products after you have cancelled and charge your credit card. My advice, is to cancel your credit card at the same time you cancel this product.

Over the counter clearasil wipes and 10% acne cream will work better than this over-hyped predatory company.

Pros:

Product ships on time

Cons:

There's really only one con that's worth mentioning-the product doesn't work.

Buyer beware: Do not give them your credit card number, even though that's the only way to order this product, don't. I called a month before they were to send me out another package to cancel my "membership." But they still sent out another order and billed my credit card. It's a scam.

Pros:

Made my skin feel very clean and worked very well for the first 2 weeks.

Cons:

After the first two weeks my acne (which isn't bad at all) was worse than it has ever been. I had acne in places I hadn't before.
I am still working on repairing the damage it has done to my cheeks.

Product is not effective and is very expensive.

Pros:

Nothing completely at all

Cons:

-dries skin - increases ACNE
-makes skin more inflammened looking - Makes you whiter
-increases flakiness

DONT GET IT PLEASE, do yourself a favour. I was only using this to clear up MINIMAL and i do repeat MINIMAL as in 3 pimples and to control my monthly breakouts and i dont even have that many. This product did NOTHING for me, i had even more results with something cheaper and OTC. Basically it dried my skin out like crazy! i had lines everywhere and makeup looked disgusting so dont bother. I broke out even more than before...this is the worst my face has looked i never had acne this big. not only that this acne looks untreatable, red and will leave scars. Mind you i only used this product for 5 DAYS! and look what happened then i heard all bad stories and i got myself out of the system as quick as i could!. might work for some...but i tell u MIRACLE PRODUCT IT AINT.

Pros:

Nothing...It did not work at all! I used it for two months. Actually, it made my acne worse than ever. All it did was dry out my skin.

Cons:

It does not work. It only dries out your skin.

Do NOT waste your money!

Pros:

Loved the fresh and clean feeling of my skin's texture

Cons:

Made me break out in places on my face that I normally would not of broken out before

I found that I was getting huge blemishes, far worse than before I started using the product. I tried the spot treatment with the mask, that didn't work either. I felt like If I kept using it and persisted that I would get the results that I deserve. I have never been one to suffer excessive acne, but I now feel for those that do. I have decided to stop using the product at only 7 weeks into using it. The girl that sold it to my husband and who we went back to talk to a couple of days ago said that I had the basic range and if I purchased more of the products that I would see more results. I think she was just trying to sell more to make money. She said that she personally had been using the product for 4 1/2 years, and she had some pimples on her face too. She did admit to still getting pimples during menstrual times or stress as well. I know that it is not a miracle cure, but for the price that you pay for the product you would expect better results from a well advertised prod

Pros:

Green tea moisturizer made my skin soft except for the dry, peeling skin spots.....unfortunately that was the only pro!

Cons:

My acne got worse and it really dried my skin out even with the green tea moisturizer. Maybe it will work for some people but it sure didn't work for me. For me, it's not worth the embarrassment and the money.

Bottom line, it made me think it was going to work but then suddenly I started breaking out all over my entire face instead of just my chin like I was before I started using ProActiv. Then once I stopped using it my face became worse than it's ever been, even worse than it was when I was a teenager and my whole face was covered. Now I have scarring from acne that was caused by ProActiv and I'm still trying to get my skin back to normal. Good luck to all who try this product, but I really don't suggest it. I've switched to Exposed now and I'm praying that it will clear up this mess that ProActiv has caused me.
