Terrible Customer Service
I was a ProActiv club member, but I would find success in the product, but I would need to stop using it after a few months, then restart. I was shipped a product that I didn't need, so I called to cancel my membership and ship the product back. However, I still received bills. I called and spoke to someone in customer service. She gave me conflicting dates on when calls were made versus when product was returned. The way she explained it to me, as long as I CALLED within 60 days to cancel, I was fine. Based on her dates, I did exactly that but they will not take a $57.94 charge off of the account. I was only told that I needed to ship the product back by writing RETURN TO SENDER on the box. NEVER was I given a due date. The CS rep even told me it would take "several" weeks for the product to arrive at the warehouse. I have family who were thinking of trying this product, but I have already given them another product to try, and told them that ProActiv has HORRIBLE customer service, and it is not worth buying ANYTHING from them. Some family members are canceling their memberships because they see the problems I have gone through. The worse part is that I cancelled my membership before when my face reached it's best level, so I was going to eventually need ProActiv again. Now, I will use ANYTHING before I spend my money with them EVER AGAIN.

scam will not refund money
This company will continue to charge your card after you cancel. They will not refund your money when you send back the product. The customer service is the rudest company I have ever dealt with. This was a very costly mistake. I have had to go through so much with my bank to get the debits from them to stop. Unless you have countless hours to spend dealing with this problem do not buy.

RIP OFF
I as well as many others was misled into purchasing this product on-line thinking I was purchaasing a one time trial package. Then I began having money deducted on a monthly basis from my paypal account. I called and complained and recieved nothing but poor customer service. I feel that I was misled and then basically told to deal with it. The hoops and circles I would have to go through to get refunded was ridiculous and not worth my time. A more satisfying approach I feel is to spread the word to other consumers on how bad there service is.

Unauthorized charges
I made an initial order with Proactive and was charged March 11th 2010 in the amount of 29.95 and received my package March 15th. Two weeks later a charge was made to my account in the amount of 37.94 for an additional package that I did not request. I immediately called on March 30th to see why I would be charged for another shipment two weeks after my initial shipment. I was informed that the charge was for a shipment that I should receive in2- 3 weeks. Note: On my invoice the information indicates that I should be charged for a club membership shipment the week of April 5, 2010. However the invoice also states that because I ordered online that I would need to go to the proactive website to activate my club membership account. I informed the representative that I never signed up or activated the automatic shipments. The representative told me that I should not have been charged and that the charge would be cancelled, the membership would be cancelled and no further charges would be posted to my account. She informed me that if the shipment was delivered to simply return to sender. On April 8th I saw that Proactive had charged my account again for 37.94 and I called customer service. The representative assured me that that this was a preauthorization and that the charge should not post to my account. IT POSTED TO MY ACCOUNT. This charge resulted in my rent check being returned and me being assessed the following fees: overdraft from the bank, late fee from the rental company, and a return check fee from the rental company.
I called two times to speak to representatives (Jared and Sally) to avoid this situation and each time I was assured that no charges would be posted to my account. In both calls I requested to speak to a supervisor but was not put through to a supervisor because the representative assured me that the situation was handled and I would not receive any charges. On March 9th after the charges were posted and my account was overdrawn I was finally connected to speak to a supervisor (after 3 unsuccessful attempts). The Supervisor told me that a refund for the 37.94 was put in on April 8th after my last phone call to them disputing the charge and I should see that refund reflected on my account in 5-7 days. I informed the supervisor (Dawn) that the problem is that I was told two separate times that my account would not be charged and it was charged and this charge resulted in my account being overdrawn. The supervisor told me that I could fax in a billing dispute detailing the situation. I am writing this letter on April 9th after getting off the phone with your representatives. I have been charged two times for a shipment that I never requested and as of today have still never received.

BOught 19.95 special and did not notice automaic renewal - ok. After speaking with representative they said $33.38 charge and then it ended. I cancelled my account. Then they charged another $40 to my account saying it was actually $73.

HORRIBLE Cust. Service
LONG story short, they NEVER mentioned that there would be an automatic delivery w/ automatic debit set up after the trial version. They continued to ship product out and BILL ME after I "cancelled." When I called, they said that my debit card was removed from the system but my account was never closed. I was told to keep the last box or to "do whatever I wanted with it." After hearing that, I put it aside and assumed (after talking to about 10 different reps) all was taken care of. Boy, was I wrong. I started getting bills saying I had late payments and such. I called again and they said that since it had been past 60 days, I had to pay for the box I didn't even want. Even after I explained that not *one* of their employees mentioned the 60 day time limit, they still told me there was nothing they can do. I have sent them payments of $10 increments only to find out they "haven't received" any of them. I have been on hold for over 30 mins after finding out my outstanding balance is about to be turned in to collections! I hope this company falls to pieces and I will do whatever I can to discourage people from using their shitty product! P.S. "doctors, " you aren't supposed to exfoliate every f*cking day!

UNSOLICITED SHIPMENT
For years now I had seen advertisements for Proactiv so I decided to try it. I went on line and ordered one month. There was a box I could check to use my debit card for subsequent shipments but I did not check the box because I only wanted try the product. I am currently unemployed and money is very much in short supply so imagine my distress when three weeks later I was charged $40.00 the beginning of 3 monthly charges for a 3 month supply. When I called the company they told me that I had agreed to receive this shipment and have it charged to my debit card. I of course told the woman I had not agreed to this. She told me to return the product when I received it and I would receive a credit. So now, I am unable to pay my electric bill because basically Proactiv has stolen $40 from me. I can only imagine how long it will take to get my credit from them based on all the other complaints I have seen on the internet. By the way, the product is bogus. I see no change in my skin so it is nothing less than a scam-do not buy from these people they are not honest and you will not only be very disappointed but will most likely be ripped off!

Unable To return
I cancelled my account, but continued to receive products. Upon receiving I would refuse and return to sender. The last shipment that have, but since it was not returned within what they claim was 60 days than I still have the balance to pay. So I have to pay and than they will submit my product back to me, "to sell or give as a gift" per customer service.

Rip off
I purchased a trial size proactive kit for my Son in December of 2008 Well, they never told me that they would charge my debit card $50.00 every month after that. I canceled in January 2009 and told them I didn't want the product anymore, It took six weeks to get a credit to my account. Well, six months later I get another package from proactive, this time I get overdrawn on my account $30.00 plus the $50.00 for the product. Apparently instead of canceling my account they put it on hold for six months then started re-sending their product. I came unglued. When I called again they said they would credit my account in another six weeks but they wouldn't do anything about the overdraft fee.
They never tell you about the nice monthly fee or that when you cancel they may decide to put you on hold and start sending again whenever they choose. This is not only deceptive but downright Illegal in my opinion. People need to know that if they order something from proactive they are signing up for a monthly RIP-OFF!!

Worst Customer Service
Proactiv has the absolute customer service I have ever dealt with. I used Proavtiv a few years back and it worked and was a quality product. So recently I decided to try it again. I think in order to cut costs they not only made the bottles they come in complete crap (the little plastic connecter on the top breaks on every single bottle and then the top doesn't shut and the product dries out), but I think they cut corners on the formula as well. I might as well have been washing my face with bar soap for all the good it was doing. So after a couple of months I gave up and started using something else (cheaper and sold in a store, not like this shady daytime tv infomercial crap) and it actually worked. I was busy with work and wasn't exactly sure when my membership was up, so when I saw the charge on my card one morning I immediately called to cancel. The girl on the phone told me that they wouldn't give me a refund until I received the product and sent it back. Now, I am positive that it hasn't gone out yet. No company anywhere sends a product out while the charge is still pending on your credit card. That's why they always charge you a couple of days before, right? Besides the fact that it takes the product 3 weeks after they charge me to get to me. There is no way that it takes that long. It's that they don't send it out right away. Anyway, I asked to talk to her manager and she was like "I can get you an account supervisor" which doesn't sound like a manager to me and when I asked if it was the equivalent all she would say is "that's her title". So I imagine now I am being transferred to the girl who sits next to her who has no more authority than she does. And I could tell as soon as this woman got on the phone-her name was Karen-that she was told beforehand not to give me anything. Sticking together against the rude customer and all of that. So she immediately tells me the same thing-that I have to wait to return the product to get my money back. So basically I have to wait over a month before they will refund me. To top it all off, she was rude, condescending, unprofessional, patronizing, defensive, inarticulate, and threatened to hang up on me. Even if this weren't $45 dish soap I wouldn’t buy their product just so as not to have to deal with the high school drop outs that this company hires for "customer service".
