I am using Proactiv right now and it is really helping. Mind you, I have only been using it for a week.

I noticed a significant improvement in my skin texture after only 2 days. It was smoother and the tone was more even.

I did notice that after a few days, my skin was pretty dry, so I followed the instructions and cut back to using the repairing lotion only once per day and now my skin looks great!!! I also use Clinique "dramatic difference" lotion 2z per day to help combat drying.

I love Proactiv. It is the best treatment I have found yet!

I just cancelled my Proactiv membership, as they could never get the shipments right (timing, product, you name it). I used it for about 3-4 months, and noticed some clearing, improvement in texture, etc. But I figure nothing will work if you can't use it consistently because you keep running out when product doesn't ship as it is supposed to. I found that the frustration of waiting for shipments to arrive and price was more than the benefit. I wear eye makeup, and can't tolerate eye makeup removers, so I was having to use a regular cleanser to get my eye makeup off - since you can't use Proactiv's cleanser on your eyes - then use the Proactiv cleanser, found the toner to be insignificant, but I did LOVE LOVE LOVE the renewing lotion. I am going to try The Regimen, and if that doesn't work, I can always give Proactiv another shot.

I am young, 13. I didnt deserve getting so much acne at such a young age. I got Proactiv on Christmas, and its January 2, and I've already got 3 pimples gone. It works GREAT! You still have to wash your face, exersize, eat right...you HAVE to pitch in! Dont expect it to do everything for you but give it time and it said: results may vary.
Keep trying. Dont give up.
Theres hope.
Theres Proactiv.

maybe I need to be more regular about my use, but it alternates drying me out too much and not enough...

I've never had a face cleanser that works so good or as fast as Proactiv. Just like Jessica Simpson says it makes you feel confident about yourself.

Proactiv is not expensive. I dare you all to go to a dept. store and see what they charge there! You can spend $60 on a moisturizer.

I used it for a month and a half and it made my skin worse - so I called them and they REFUNDED my money. If you are having trouble with Proactiv, call the company. They will stop your shipments, etc.

However, two of my friends use it and it works very well for them. So, I gave it a 3 for how well it works.Just because it did not help me does not mean it won't help you.

A friend of mine let me try some of her Proactiv when I was visiting for a week. I actually noticed my blemishes reducing faster within just a few days, so I decided to buy some of my own. It seems to be working really well for me, and I have been using it for seven months now. I still have occassional small breakouts, but they go away pretty quickly. The acne on my chin and forehead that had been so bad has cleared up and my skin looks better than it has in a very long time. I'd definitely recommend it.

Proactiv made a difference in my skin's texture from the start. My skin no longer has the blotchy red scars old acne had left on the apples of my cheeks however I do still have scars near my cheekbones. Also, I no longer have the large amount of small pimples on my cheeks and forehead that I used to. For a month my skin was clear, but now I have large pimples on my cheeks and chin. It could be because I neglected to wash my face a couple nights in a row or the stress from school/menstrual breakouts.I'll keep using it and see if there is a long term difference.
