Rip Off, November 7, 2009Did not work!!!!!!!!, October 5, 2009beware!, September 10, 2009POroActiv will NOT refund your money and puts you on auto-shipments once you order ANYTHING from them. My second auto shipment was 2 boxes of stuff for over $100! I sent it back in July and was promised a… refund...NOTHING! Don't give them your credit card # or else use a preloaded credit card # so they can't keep charging you. Their customer service reps will just lie and say you are getting your money back but you never will!! Too bad they don't let you just buy the product ONCE to TRY IT but you NOOoooo you can't--no matter what, if you buy a kit you are enrolled AUTOMATICALLY in their "skin care club" which translated means: we will send you boxes of stuff you didn't order and charge your credit card forever!!
Great buy, price and shipment time., August 27, 2009Made acne worse, August 21, 2009

Paula Begoun gives each of the products included in Proactiv Solution 3-Step System a reasonable rating based on the solid scientific evidence behind their ingredients. Begoun notes that the Renewing Cleanser may be too harsh for use around the eyes, but she raves about the Repairing Lotion which contains anti-irritants. She claims that the Revitalizing Toner is a good alpha-hydroxy product but recommends that acne-prone individuals use a salicylic acid treatment instead.

Dermatologists evaluate five acne-control kits based on ingredients and claims. Proactiv Solution 3-Step System is chosen as the winner because it provides antibacterial coverage with a "mild, but appropriate" solution of benzoyl peroxide.

Consumers at MakeupAlley.com give Proactiv Solution 3-Step System an overall rating of 2.8 (out of five) based on 1,811 reviews. While several consumers are pleased with the results provided by Proactiv, just as many are disappointed. Several say that the system is effective in the beginning, but eventually stops working as their skin builds up a tolerance to it. Many consumers prefer one or two of the products rather than the entire kit.
