Bri, Los Angeles May 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Very light and feels really great when applied to face. The fragrance isn't too strong and smells fresh, actually. Cleared my exsisting acne to an extent. Cons: Tends to dry out my face just a little and does make me flake a little. In the T zone it does the opposite of drying out, it actually makes me more oily. (but the Refining Mask takes care of that.) Bottom Line: Clears up face but does also dry it out. USE THE GREEN TEA MOISTURIZERRRR! ITS AMAZING Recommended: Yes Usage: Bri has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 40.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Pros: it really works as benzoyl should work, skin clearly smooth after washing off it dries the pimples without any damage to ur skin Cons: it itches after using a while it dries skin, but it could be good for greasy, oily skin people Bottom Line: Good. it works but u can try testing ur skin and asking a dr, b4 using it Recommended: Yes Usage: sandy has used this item for about a month.

Bottom Line: Worth trying did help a bit but I just wasnt very consistant with it. Recommended: Yes Usage: Doris Day has used this item for a few months.

Pros: worrks very well wif using the cleanser and a moisturizer. No smell, makes skin look better, does get rid of acne. Cons: does cause dryness and peeling but can be coverered with moisturizer. costs alot Bottom Line: relliii good product but should be used after using a cleanser and waiting around 10min before applying the BP, then followed by a moisturizer.

Anonymous Apr 7th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Great results for the first few days. Cons: After that my skin was super tight, itchy, burning, etc. Bottom Line: I've tried the entire Proactiv line twice and seen the same results both times. I thought my skin was pretty tough, but these products totally scorched it. I had amazing results for a few days, but then my skin was SO tight, dry and painful that I stopped using them. Plus, this stuff is super expensive for what you get. Try it if you want, just to satisfy your curiosity. It's not the miracle cure it claims to be, but hey maybe it'll work for you. You can find better products in the drug store that cost a lot less. Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 70.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, Maui, Hawaii Mar 28th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: ...unfortunately none. Cons: right after 5 minutes i put it on, it made my skin SUPER dry. and my face is always oily. my face got itchy and it showed that it was dry because my face started peeling very severely. Bottom Line: bottom line? JUST MADE IT VERY VERY VERY DRY AND IRRITATED! not so much redness but it was unbelieva believably DRY! i really couldnt believe how dry it was. Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 20.00 Acne severity: severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Tom, Australia Mar 1st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: *Clears up blemishes quickly. *Good consistency. *You can 'feel' it working. Cons: *Intially when first using dries up skin an irritates. *Rather on the expensive side. Bottom Line: Despite the cost, one of the best acne treatments available! I have used other treatments of B.P. before but I didn't consider them as effective. Skin can be a bit flacky when first using (actually felt like burning for me) but this was kind of reassuring that it was actually working. If you do flake, use an exfoliator as part of your regimen (occasionally) and get a half-decent moisturiser. Tip: Buy the larger 90ml bottles off of ebay; saves money & time. Five stars, two thumbs and all the rest. Recommended: Yes Usage: Tom has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 40.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful?
