How do I get through the phone menu to a live person?
Consider using our free service that calls and talks to customer service for you, then sends you a report. Or use our free service that waits on hold and tells you when a human rep is on the line. But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for Proactiv below.
Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.
That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.
GetHuman researchers routinely call this Proactiv phone number to document the phone system.
Here is our latest tip for weaving through the phone menu to get to a real person the fastest:Do not press anything, just wait on hold for a representative.

Excerpt from a call with Proactiv
Monday, February 12, 2024 6:15 PM
What are the hours and when should I call?
Proactiv operates the call center for this 800-309-4796 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 178 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Proactiv call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Proactiv phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Proactiv staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Proactiv is Saturday.The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 124% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 178 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Thursday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Friday.
In summation, the best day to call Proactiv is Thursday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Proactiv staffs up on Thursday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
I was gifted a 90-day subscription to Proactiv by a well-meaning aunt, but I really have no idea how to get started with the service. I certainly do have an acne issue and hope this works for me, but I need some guidance to set up my account and order products. I have browsed through the website, and while I like the layout, I prefer to talk to someone who can guide me through the process. Since I didn't subscribe, I really just need to understand how all this works.
Therefore, I called this phone number hoping that I could talk to someone. Now I'm sure Proactiv gets a lot of phone calls from people who have ordered or just have general questions, but they still offer great service. I didn't have to wait long, and the agent was friendly and quick to help me. It made me feel a lot better about using the service.
When I called, a recorded voice assistant immediately picked up and said, "Thank you for contacting Proactive. Our customer support hours have recently hanged. Our amazing support team is now available from 9 am to 10 pm EST. You can find the terms and conditions regarding our products on our website. Our goal is to provide 5-star service. Please confirm that you want to receive our text survey by saying yes or no."
I pressed no because I didn't have time for that, and then it told me, "Thank you for your selection, for English press 1. For Spanish press 2. For French Canadian press 3." After choosing English, the automated message stated, "For future reference, the member website has lots of self-service options. Be sure to check it out at www.proactive.com." Then hold music started to play that wasn't too bad, it was like flute music. After about a minute Juan picked up. He had an accent, but he spoke slowly and carefully and was a great help.

The final step is to apply a repairing treatment that contains active ingredients, such as benzoyl peroxide, that penetrate deep into the pores to kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. This three-step approach helps to prevent new breakouts while also improving the overall appearance and texture of the skin.

Use this link to connect with customer service via chat
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Proactiv provides this option.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Proactiv customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
