Pros:

None .

Cons:

- dries out skin
- does not get rid of acne
- makes acne worse
- very hard to end the "contract"
- they keep charging you

I am 14 and i started using proactiv five months ago. I was really excited when i ordered it because it has helped so many people. The first week i started using it, it dried my skin and it did nothing for my acne. I was really dissapointed, but i kept using it to see if my results would be different. But NOTHING CHANGED ! My acne became even worse and the product bleached out my shirts, and towels. I would never buy proactiv ever again, but everyone's skin is different, it might work for you.

Pros:

I noticed some improvements.
They have good customer service

Cons:

It didn't not get rid of my acne!
My face started to ich like crazy in the beginning, it went away and then it came back after a month.
The bottles are tiny!
When you sign up, they automatically put you on a schedule and they will continue to send you their products. So that doesn't work if you don't like it.

I am 20 years old. I never really had acne until I graduated high school. And then it was just really bad and now I am always breaking out. I have never had clear skin since. I was really disappointed with proactiv. I had heard stories of people that my friends knew, and it worked for them. They had REALLY bad acne too! And my acne is only on my cheeks so I thought it would definitely work on me. The directions are weird so I wasn't always sure if I was using the right amount. I think I was trying to convince myself that it was working, but it just didn't get rid of my acne. I think it might have started to a few times, but then it would just get worse again. It made me really frustrated. So now I'm breaking out even more and it is embarrassing.

Pros:

None

Cons:

They trick you with there price of $19.99 for the shippment. Then they get you with the next shippment that they send right away and bill you in three installments of $29.99. that a total of $110.00 plus shipping cost. The product is too strong and will dry your face out and peel.

It's a scam!

Pros:

Cleanser works great

Cons:

The customer service is terrible! And that is being kind. It takes several calls/ emails to get anything done and the shipping time is forever.

I have been a customer for over 10 years using the cleanser but their frustrating customer service may cause me to cancel my business with them.

Pros:

Customer Service was very nice

Cons:

Didn't work, made my face really dry, the toner made my face burn

It doesn't work. I only started breaking out after I got the Depo-Provera shot. It wasn't bad, but I was still self-conscious of it. Proactive didn't make it worse, but it didn't do anything at all to help it. When I did call to cancel it, the customer service lady was very helpful and nice though. I began using Neutrogena Complete Acne System and so far it seems to be helping. It dried out my face for about a week, but I'll deal with that as long as it keeps my skin clear.

Pros:

Smells okay compared to other acne products.

Cons:

Stops working after about a month.
When you wash your face with the cleanser its like washing your face with rough sandpaper because of the little beads that scrub your skin. Doesnt work in general.

The media makes Proactiv sound amazing when its really not, bottom line is it doesnt work and its a waste of time...

Pros:

It will completely dry out your skin.I used proactive for two weeks. My skin is still trying to recover . Dont count on money back guarantee.

Cons:

Do not trust this company. I bought a trial size in the last week of January .By the second week I was charged 49.68 and was being sent the actual size product.I also was charged for the vitamins 39.00 so once the two pagages were recieved they were returned back to the post office. I was refunded 26.00 dollars for the vitamins and was charged an extra 60.00 dollars . Proactive will not refund my money because I dont have proof of mailing(which I was not told I would need in order for a refund)

If you want to give your credit card information to a sleezy dishonest company please make sure u call procative. if you read more posts you will find that i am not the only person this happend to
