Pros:

None

Cons:

Doesn't work any better than the reasonably prices systems out there!

If you feel the need to purchase this sub-par system be aware! They will automatically refull your order every three months and charge your credit card without notifying you! At no point during my original order was this communicated to me. Whats worse is that the Customer Care department has no interest in helping out their customers once there is a problem. Bottom line, Proactive makes its money by charging unaware customers for product they did not ask for or require. If the product is as good as it claims to be why would you need to force your customers to buy more? They should be breaking the doors down to get it. Save yourself the time and frustration and go get some Neutrogena!

Pros:

NONE!!! Not worth the headache

Cons:

Didn't work made my face break out worse which I know can happen at first so i kept using it and on the 3rd week it left scabs on my face like mild chemical burns.
Customer service IS TERRIBLE!!!! I returned the product and they still kept charging my card and I would call and they would say my account was closed and not sure why charges still coming out. Only refunded $30.82 of the 133.56 they have charged me.

IT IS NOT WORTH THE RISK TO TRY!!!!

AWFUL !! stay away
This website is a scam,once they receive a payment they will continue to take money and not send products, in the last 5 months they took money for the most expensive kit 4 times and I only received 1 kit !. After trying to contact for months I am told to wait every time and nothing can be done... stay away from this company.

This is serious, this company is a scammer. I bought this product for my son, after two weeks of use his face started to get red, and he stopped the treatment. They sent me a second packet of products, then charged me for a third shipment, which never came. I got in touch with them and it did not help. I went to the bank to file the complaint. The bank was responsible for the payment. This company is a scam and the product of very poor quality.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Burns and dries out skin

Don't order at all! This stuff doesnt work. Worst part is they won't stop charging me after already calling and canceling twice. They keep shipping more products and automatically charging my credit card. I hate calling because the customer service people are from indian and very hard to understand and they do not understand the word cancel. I don't even have acne...idk why I even ordered this in the first place.

Proactive Acne Treatment - Good To Worse !!!! 5 YEARS Experience! MUST READ
Proactive Acne Treatment ' Good To Worse !!!! 5 YEARS Experience! MUST READ Hi there, i am 23/Male...this review is exactly according to the experience I have had with proactive Acne treatment kit... I Have started proactive when I was around 18 years , a teenager. I have Mild acne and few Bumps occasionally, but otherwise a Smooth skin. I ordered proactive once I saw a commercial on television. I saw it when it was NOT that popular in India and I trusted it paying Rs 2495 for a supply of 2 months. I used it and discovered that this product did some miracles to my skin transforming it to a glowing one in just 1 month. I then continued this product till I was 21 years. Then I was a bit worried about the amount of price they started charging for the Proactive kit which was now of 3495 Rs a supply a 2 months. I trusted the experience i had and continued it with the price hiked. Suddenly I realised, the product has STOPPED working for me when it comes to preventing New ACNE from coming. Earlier i thought it may be something related to the weather, but since then it had all gone wrong for me. I kept on ordering the product in a hope that it would give me those earlier results, but that is when I felt I am just WASTING my money over the product. Till I turned 23, it had been 5 years since I have started proactive, and the last 2 years experience has been Bizarre. Currently I am at almost the end of the supply and I am NOT even thinking of ordering it again wasting my Money more then what it deserves. Right now my Skin have OPEN PORES , Roughness , Acne marks , Uneven skin tone , and of course ACNE. It doesn't seem I have ever had a good skin and Ever Used a Proactive, whereas i have used it for around 5 years and still using it waiting for the Supply to END. I suggest people NOT to go for proactive and it would make your skin a WARZONE with chemicals fighting and even worsening your skin. Once the earlier results might be Good, but remember, ANYTHING INSTANT HAVE SIDE-EFFECTS LATER !!! I suffered so I am Just warning You people to Think before you Order it , as It is As effective as Normal Skincare Products in the Market , so why Paying 5-6 Thousand rupees for such a Crap!!! I would Like to suggest people to for other Mild product rather than going for Proactive solutions , as it Would be very difficult for you to cope with the after-effects once you STOP using it , considering the price Level it is Reaching to , as well as Many UNHAPPY users QUESTIONING its side-effects and NON-EFFECTIVENESS..!! If you would Tell about this to their Helpline, they would Just questing you about you Way of USING the kit. I have been Using it since 5 YEARS and i Don't think i am a FOOL!! NOT using it properly since Such a Long time and that too when earlier i had effective results of the product. They just do it to HIDE their FAULTS of the Product. And then they will Insist you to BUY Various other product of PROACTIVE so to GET GOOD RESULTS..!! I just want to as you , if your 3 STEP sysem is NOMORE effective , what would other products do..??????????????? Complete Money waste , and will Ruin your SKIN on LONGTERM...!! That's all from me, a Genuine experience from starting Proactive 5 YERAS ago Till Today's Date... Thanks

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

bad service, you don't get your money back. scams

Exactly 4 days ago I placed an order on the proactive website. I paid extra for overnight shipping and I paid with pay pal. I was told I will be receiving a confirmation email after I paid for the order, but I never did. When I try to log onto the website it says that email address is not registered on the website. I was provided an order number when I placed the order, but I did not save it. I contacted proactive customer service to cancel my order, but I was told that they can not cancel my order even though it hasn't been shipped. That is not true! I work for an online company and you can very well easly cancel an order anytime you want. you can even have the package returned back to you if it is shipped out. Before they even searched for my order they said a cancelation is not possible. And when I gave my information they said they can not even find my order. I was also told by a customer service representative to place a new order and pay again this time with credit card. So they wanted me to pay TWICE for something I was not receiving! And they weren't even refunding the pay pal payment! The reason I wanted to cancel my order was because I read so many horrible reviews about the products and because of how long the process was taking. I paid extra for overnight shipping, it has been 4 days. They can not find my order but they took my payment. Be very cautious before buying from them!
