I started using just the repairing lotion before I'd even ever heard of the CSR. I had read somewhere that the repairing lotion was really the only aspect that you needed, and that was correct. The repairing lotion (using with cetaphil and Eucerin skin renewal, products I've using for years) cleared my skin up nicely, but I had to resort to buying bottles of the lotion from ebay because I didn't want to shell out for the whole line from Proactive. This worked just as well as the BP gel, except that it had an annoying fragrance, it's more expensive and harder to find.

This stuff rocks. Some people have said that it made them worse so they stop, that's NOT WHATCHA DO. I started out and then had a bit of a breakout, but it cleared a lot faster than normal.

Big white bottle, green bottle, little white bottle, moisturizer.

In that order!

I enjoy proactiv because of the way it makes my skin feel, too.

When I found Dave's regimen, I dug up two half-empty bottles of Proactiv repairign lotion from previous attempts of clearing up my acne. This is only my secnd day using the lotion as my 2.5% BP, but already my skin looks healthier and clearer. It's pretty drying so I'm going to slow it down to once a day for now. Very good product :).

I have been using Proactive for months and it has worked wonderfully! My skin has completely cleared up AND I recomended it to all of my friend and it worked just as well for them. You have to follow the directions religiously. Go through the three steps when you wake up and when you go to sleep every single day! Things like stress and that time of the month may cause some unavoidable breakouts but overall it works great.

This stuff is no different than crack. You know its not doing you any good, but you're so desperate that you can't help the urge to come back for more. If I had to choose one product from this line, it would be the repairing lotion. The glycolic toner works well with occasional use, while regular use just makes my skin scabby. The cleanser irritates my skin with what they call "finely milled benzoyl peroxide". Really, it's small particles of plastic. Overall, I'd say its a DON'T!

proactiv solution completely cleared up my skin for about a week and then it got worse so i immediately discontinued my use. While using proactiv, my skin felt so dry in the morning, but in the afternoon it would be so oily. My skin never felt "right". I have since then switched to a new regiment which makes my skin feel great and it cleared up all of the acne that proactiv left behind. I use a 2% salicylic acid cleanser, then I use a Shiseido toner..and then i use a very small sized (less than pea sized) of the proactiv 2.5% repairing lotions and then i moisturize with shisiedo moisturizer. My skin feels great again, try it! I know dan says that a combination of salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide is irritating, but it doesnt irritate my skin.

Honestly, ProActive Solution is ALOMST A SCAM. Please do not use the face wash, toner and cream. It did not clear my face it made more pimples that tuned into gross black heads.
Don't let this disencourage you to just use the cream. I wish all 'yall good luck and happy healing with the Clear Skin regimen!
