Jessica, Fairbanks Oct 28th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: This really doesn't have a great consistency for the regimen. Easy to spread and apply. Cons: I'd said Proactiv is pricey, but I can't complain about that since I had three months worth given to me by a friend. Bottom Line: I think it's better than plain BP if you can get your hands on it alone, since BP is going to be drying at least at first. So it offers a little more moisture, even my oily skin needs the extra moisture. Not to mention, it's oil-free. I'm glad to have three months supply of this stuff so I can use it instead of just plain BP. Of course this lotion is going to be drying as others stated, but that's because it's BP! haha. But like I said, it's nice to have around if you have it because it's a moisturizer too. Although, I cleanse, use Proactiv Repairing Lotion, and I still use a dry skin lotion after this.. and I have EXTREMELY oily skin, but BP dries me out. So never underestimate the power of moisture when you're using BP. Recommended: Yes Usage: Jessica has used this item for a few months. Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

jess Aug 26th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Does work with consistancy. I started breaking out on my forehead pretty bad a while back, proactive got rid of it. I find it works best when you use alot of the repairing lotion. Cons: Dries out your skin. Over priced. Bottom Line: Over all this product works well for me. Does work. Makes your skin look way better, evens skin tone, gets rid of acne. I know for some people i know it didnt work as well asit does for me, but it IS worth a try. Recommended: Yes Usage: jess has used this item for a few months.

Laura, Mt. Vernon, NY Aug 22nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I have been using the reparining lotion and the results are OK. No major breakouts for the past two weeks-a big improvement from a new blemish everyday. Cons: It did take a while to start working (almost two months) and I have to be consistent. My skin is very flaky and sensitive now. Bottom Line: With the advice from this site, my skin has been better. Another BP product might have the same result. Recommended: Yes Usage: Laura has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 30.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Kat, Erie, PA Aug 5th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It got rid of a few zits. Cons: SUCKS! I thought it was a lotion! Why, then, would it make my skin dry, flaky and itchy? Don't use this. Bottom Line: Horrible. HORRIBLE Recommended: No Usage: Kat has used this item for a few months. Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Machelle, Kansas Jul 16th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: A bit of initial clearup Cons: Took no time at all for my skin to get immune, and became useless. I literally stopped washing my face altogether for a week to the same results as the three step Proactiv Bottom Line: Pretty much useless, to me. WAY overpriced, did no good. Recommended: No Price Paid: 50.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Jadus, Aus Jul 12th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: you can say you use such a well known brand (thats about all i can think of) Cons: it is expensive, it drys out your skin without getting rid of acne, there are alot of steps that ultimately do nothing Bottom Line: It is good if you have the occasional pimple on your face but rubbish for acne sufferers and teenagers with alot of oil. Recommended: No Usage: Jadus has used this item for about a year. Price Paid: 111.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Nicky, Wisconsin Jul 11th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: None. Cons: Expensive. Made me break out so bad, I quit using it. Am now using tretinoin and it has saved me from the damage Pro Active caused. Bottom Line: Some people just don't have good results from benzoil peroxide. I'm 36 yrs old. I have tried everything. This product may work for some people, but not at all for me. I broke out in areas that I never usually have problems with. Recommended: No Usage: Nicky has used this item for about a month. Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?

Pamela, Phoenix Arizona May 27th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: -It really works! It dries up your pimples and speeds up the healing process. Cons: -It removes the pimples but it leaves scars. It also gives this unbelievable itchiness. Bottom Line: The lotion makes it veeerryyy itchy but if you have self control, it's bearable. I noticed a pimple growing two days ago and so I applied the lotion for two consecutive nights. Right now, it's still there but it is on its late stages. I use this with ProActiv Renewing cleanser (WHICH IS THE BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED!) and proactiv toner. Recommended: Yes Usage: Pamela has used this item for a few months. Acne severity: very light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

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)
