It definitely helps, but I still get occasional breakouts with the menstrual cycle.

Helped with my blackheads on my nose and forehead but made me breakout worse than ever on my cheeks, chin and forehead.
I am very dissappointed.

so 2 of my friends use proactiv, and thier skin is amazing. the catch- their skin wasnt as bad as mine (my skin is decent, but still incredibly annoying) after seeing their complexion, i decided i wanted to try proactiv. my skin is dramatically better, but i still have killer blackheads on my nose and i still get pimples, just not as frequently.

Expensive but worth every cent. At age 35 I still have mild to moderate acne. Initially it made my skin peel, but when I reduced it to once a day only the peeling stopped. Now as maintenance, I only need to use it 2-3 times a week. It has worked for three of my friends also.

This clears up Acne very well but it does not prevent it. I would break out every week and although it cleared it up, the Acne just came back. It is an endless cycle. This product is only good for people who barly break out, other wise it is a waste of money.

Terrible waste of money. False advertisements. They are horrible and manipulative. Just made my skin worse. It is the worst product ever. Do NOT fall for them!!!

I think that is product may work better for those with mild or moderate acne, rather than for those with harsher cases. For me it has almost completely cleared my skin within one week. Those witb very sensitive skin may have more irritability from using the product. I was also amazed to see how well this product unclogged my pores and got rid of the blackheads I had on my nose and forehead.

All in all, I think it is a great product.

Not as good as they say it is. Drys the skin out alot and leaves it red and irritated.
