Rachel, Canada Sep 14th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Reduced redness. Reduced blotchiness of skin tone. Makes skin soft and smooth. The sulpher mask really helps to clear up skin when first using Proactiv. It works incredibly well. Cons: The repairing lotion can make your skin a bit dry, however it is nothing that a daily moisturizer with SPF in it can't fix. Which everyone should be using daily anyway to protect from the harmful UV rays. Bottom Line: For those people who have minor acne that does not require you to go to the dermatologist, this product is not for you. This product is for SEVERE acne sufferers who have been to dermatologists and have used such prescribed lotions, pills, etc,.. like accutane, and still suffer from acne. Proper use of this product shows incredible results. A few comments have mentioned only using it at night or when they had a breakout. That isn't proper use of the product. It is a 2x daily cleaning regime. Always test products on your skin before use as many people have skin allergies...this is recommended by products of any kind. I've been using this product for years. I now use it 1x a day and use a Neutrogena cleanser to remove make-up in the evening, and my skin just glows. The 3-step products last me for about 6 months, so the $60 for the 3 components is worth it. You would spend about $15 on a regular cleanser, $15 on a toner, $20 acne cream, and $20 for a moisturizer anyway, so Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 60.00 Acne severity: severe Was this comment helpful?

Samantha, Chicago, IL Sep 12th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: For myself the toner and moisturizer is nice though it did nothing for my acne. Cons: It seered my roommate's skin off! I kid you not! She used the product for maybe a week and one day she had chemical burns all over her face! (a doctor's visit confirmed this). I stopped using it after seeing what it did to her. Bottom Line: I dont recommend this product to anyone. It didn't work very well and if you have sensitive skin you can apparently wake up to chemical burns. Stay far far away! Recommended: No Usage: Samantha has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 30.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Sara, Toronto, Canada Sep 11th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Cons: Dries skin out way to much, making very very flaky. Bottom Line: This products seemeed to work for about two days and then my skin got dry as hell. My skin looks worse now than when I started. I am trying to make my skin not so dry now, this is a hard thing to do. My skin is so flaky that it is driving me up the walls. Would not recommend it. Recommended: No Usage: Sara has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 20.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Devon Newberry, Los Angeles, CA Sep 10th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: When it works, it works. Nice mask. Cons: Works VERY inconsistently, bullsh*t prices and small bottles. Bottom Line: TOO inconsistent, too expensive, and won't KEEP your face clean. Pass.

EMi, Long Island, NY Sep 9th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: The product was absolutely wonderful. After years of no luck with anything, including prescription products, Proactiv cleared up my skin rather quickly. Cons: I could not afford it! The only reason I was able to use it in the first place was it was, for unknown reasons, being sent to my apartment for someone who did not live there so I happily made use of it. Bottom Line: I loved it, but unfortunately couldn't afford it. Once I ran out, that was it. Its effects continued for a month or so, then my skin went back to what it had been before.. bad. The only other adverse effect I had was when winter came, my skin dried out to a painful degree. I have a feeling that this was due to a combination of the product and having to walk 20 minutes to my job daily while living in Upstate New York, but I can never be certain. If it had been within my budget, I never would have stopped using this. Also, please note despite what I wrote, I DID NOT EVER PAY FOR THIS PRODUCT. I just couldn't post the review unless I said I paid something. Price Paid: 1.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
