Proactiv Solution Reviews

Proactiv Worked really well for me and I felt as though it was a quality product. It was a bit pricy, but I would recommend it to anyone. It works!

I Never had horrible acne, maybe that's why this product turned my face into a war zone. I had the occasional break out, but I thought this product would clear that up. At first it did, for the first two weeks I had fantastic skin and I did not dry out but over night my forehead broke out with horrible pimples, and my cheeks and chin broke out with a horrible itchy rash. I have now been off the product for one month and have visited the dermatologist twice and my face still looks horrible. So buyers beware!

Ich finde das Produkt eigentlich ganz gut. Meine Haut spannte zwar in den ersten drei Wochen aber meine Haut sieht schon viel besser aus. Danke.

I have tried proactiv for a little over a month and it has not made any progress towards my skin and making it healthier. I am not trying to be rude, but proactiv may not bethe right solution for me.

I used Proactiv for about 4 weeks and I noticed a difference. Initially I was skeptical because I wasn't sure if the infomercials were truthful. However, the products worked great. My skin really cleared up. The only problem I had was after about 1 week, my skin really started to dry out. I had to modify how often I used it. I discontinued using it because I didn't like them taking money out of my account every month, especially when I still had the products and hadn't run out. Well, after that, my skin went CRAZY! I broke out worse than I ever had before, and no other cleansers would work for my skin. So I am back on Proactiv, except now I buy it from a stand at Gurnee Mills Mall, because that way I can determine what products I need to re-purchase. It's also nice to talk to someone who uses the products and sells them. I would definitely recommend trying it, as long as you are prepared to continue using it.

proactiv was working for about 3 months afterwards it made my skin dry out like a raisin. not only that but i have dark patches on my face where it burned my skin. and this so called 'amazing' product severly dried out my skin. i look like i'm aging prematurely. people PLEASE be aware not everything that you see on tv and being endorsed by famous faces means that it's a good product!!!!!!!!!!!! BE AWARE AND ALERT of what you put on your face. The renewing cleanser and the lotion contain too much benzoly peroxide. The "stanford graduated doctors" that invented this product should know better, too much benzoyl peroxide can damage your skin.

Proactiv worked for the first two years of using it, after that it stopped working for me and seemed to aggravate my skin, causing more breakouts and patches of dryness. I think their price is to high.

I've tried everything under the sun for my acne, whether it was a topical treatment or a mild oral antibiotic. Although it isn't terribly severe, the pain and discomfort of the breakouts, as well as how bad it looks, was enough for me to try roaccutane (or accutane as I think it's called in the States).
As numerous people have said already, proactiv is just another product that you could buy off the shelf at your local supermarket for half the price. It contains the same ingredients as products such as clearasil. I have used products with the leading ingredient, benozyl peroxide, and have found that my skin became extremely itchy, red and flaky. My suggestion: SAVE YOUR MONEY, and if your acne is quite severe, talk to your dermatologist about accutane/roaccutane. Sure, you don't get immediate results, but after 2 months of being on it I'm starting to see the benefits. Do not think that you will get all the side-effects listed either. The only major side-effect I've had is quite dry and flaky skin, which can be easily fixed with cetaphil moisturiser. I only need to wash my hair once a week too which is great, because it gets so dry! But all this is worth it in the long run, if it means my skin will be under control. Also, I'm not sure what other health systems are like in other countries, but here in Australia you can purchase roaccutane for a substantially reduced rate with a health care card. One box, containing 60 tablets, costs around 7 bucks...bargain.
Products such as proactiv, and all the others like it out there, are quick fix solutions which do not seem to offer any long term benefit. Often they seem to do more harm than good.

I'm 40 and still have acne before trying this product,i had never tried any product for my acne.I still do get few pimples on and off,but never as i used to;when i get pimples whether small or big,this podruct can not control ,the pimple takes control of my skin and when it is over,i get blacheads which proactive has proved to be uneffective with. Because besides blackheads i face another problem.i have hyperpigmatation conditon so you can figurate.

Proactiv did so much more for my acne skin than any other brand. I've tried Dermalogica, Murad, NeoStrata..nothing worked. With Proactiv, I finally have acne free skin.
