I have been dealing with an incorrect shipping address for almost 2 years!!

Proactiv - I have been dealing with an incorrect shipping address for almost 2 years!!

My son moved in June 2021. We immediately notified Proactiv but they are still, to this day, sending the products to the old address!!

I have emailed and called so many times and each time I am told it has been fixed. The last time I was told to set up a new account, which I did. Just got an email from Proactiv indicating the products were being shipped to the old address!!! I cannot get anyone at Proactiv to help with this issue!

I've asked to speak with a supervisor or management and I just get to the same people in customer service!

You can bet that they take the money regularly for the products, but they cannot get the shipping address corrected! I have so many emails and notes of the times I have contacted Proactiv about this issue and still it has not been corrected!!!

Missing products & misrepresentation of ordering

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Missing product, resolved. However the way the website is set up is misleading.

It was my understanding that I was to pay $19.95 for trial. And if I wanted to continue I would do so by ordering the 30 or 90 day supply.

When package was received it was not the trial as it lead me to believe. I was automatically given a 30 day supply which was a charge of $59.95 that I was unaware I had to pay.

I placed an order a while ago and it still hasn’t came in.

Proactiv - I placed an order a while ago and it still hasn’t came in.

I placed an order a month ago, I believe, and I still haven't gotten my order yet. I'm being very patient about it, but I'm not too sure about using proactive anymore.

Furthermore, I don't know if it's a delay or something, but I would definitely like an email about my order instead of just waiting for nothing to come in. Unreal.

Pros:
  • It works
  • No problem with proactiv but with
Cons:
  • Customer service
  • Cheats & scammers

User's recommendation: Please rethink before placing your order because you might wait for a very long time for nothing to arrive and maybe consider buying it in person or switching to another skin care product.

I started buying proactive for my daughter it did not work out. They continued to send it and charge me.

They wouldn't accept returns or the money back guarantee they advertise.

I do not recommend this company.

Resolved: Charged after I had cancelled

Proactiv - Charged after I had cancelled
Updated by user Jan 19, 2022

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund. Emailed with details of charges I got that were charged after I cancelled or didn't receive before cancelation..

Original review Dec 20, 2021

I had canceled my subscription as the last time I was charged I never received the product I ordered. Once they got it canceled, I was still charged for more product.

I had to change my payment setting, so I wouldn't be charged again. I was charged 3 times for product I never received. I should be refunded $103.96. I emailed today again as the last few times I have tried I got a response saying they put in a ticket and checked again a month later with no one replying to me or because I didn't reply within 30 seconds on the chat they have on their site it said I was unresponsive, and they closed out the chat.

They didn't even give me time to respond.

Terrible customer service. Do not buy.

Subscription help

I spent 25 minutes on the phone with live chat to try to cancel my subscription. The agent offered me all kinds of deals to stay and agreed to reduce my shipment quantity at a lower cost.

When I asked her to go ahead and do that she told me to call back in May to request that. Ridiculous! So then I called the 800 number and got an agent to agree to cancel my subscription but then the call was dropped before I got confirmation.

This company is like a virus that you cant get rid of. BEWARE!!!!!
