the proactiv solution only worked partially for me, the advertisements were a bit misleading. i thought i would be completely, or mostly, cleared from acne, but i wasnt. my face still broke out consistently, and i feel that a cheaper product is capable of doing the same, or better, of a job.

It didn't work at all. It made my face really really itchy and it smelled like crap. On the t.v. it made the bottles look so much bigger but really they're not big at all. I would not buy this product. You could get drug store products that work much better for cheaper.

I've used Proactiv for a couple of months. I noticed a difference in days! I was really suprised, but it really does work! It sometimes dries out my skin, but I LOVE IT!

I have struggled with acne for 10 years. I have been on accutane two times! Proactiv is the best product out there. I have sensitive skin so I need to use an oil-free moisterizer with it as well, but it works wonders. The SPF-15 moisterizer they sell is pretty crapy so don't pay the price for it, there are better and cheaper ones over the counter (neutrogena, oil of olay, aveeno). But the three step system is the ONLY thing that has cleared my skin. Plus, 60 day money back guarantee make it no harm done if this product doensnt work for you.

I've been using proactiv for about two week now, and it works great i saw improvements in my skin the first week. The only problem is at first it left my face feeling completely dry and tight no matter how many times i used the oil- free spf 15 moisturizer.It even left dark dry patches around my eyes. Eventually i called proactiv, and asked them if it was okay to use other facial moisturizers ,and they aid it was alright just as long as it wasn't acne medicated, because of the acid. After switching moisturizers my face feels and looks great.

I used Proactiv for about a year and saw pretty decent results in the first few months. After a while, however it seemed to lose it's effectiveness and I started breaking out worse than I ever have before. My complexion also worsened quite a bit and it made my skin incredibly oily. I think after a while you just develope an immunity to it and it doesn't work anymore.

I am in my late teens and I have had terrible acne for a few years. I've tried every product out there... I've been to the dermatologist, and I've been on 6 months of Accutane *whew*. Recently my complexion has been getting worse and worse, so I decided to try Proactiv at the suggestion of a friend. I've been using it now for about 2 weeks and I have already seen a tremendous difference in my skin. I'm not sure what will happen in the weeks to come, but right now I'm very pleased with the results.

been trying it for a few months now and although it makes my face look great, i still have yet to see a difference. It often overdries your face quite a bit, so you will need a moisturizer.

I tried Proactiv now for 3 months and it worked for the first few weeks and then quit. My face is dry and flaky and has developed deep cysts on it. Nothing has helped me at all including a dermatologist. My face got immuned to Proactiv.
