Proactiv Solution : Acne Treatment System

I still have acne. It's not as good as the commercials say it is. I guess it works for some people. But it didnt really work like I thought it would.

i'm about to be 31 and i've tried almost every product from prescription to drugstore brands; proactiv was my last resort. i don't have bad skin...just minor acne on my jaw line and occasionally i'll have one spot of cystic acne. after using proactiv cleanser (i can't use the toner or moisturizer because it made my face burn) my face looked like it was starting to clear up. I was even taking daily pictures of my skin so i could compare...4 days into it my skin got worse and the acne seemed more painful. my cystic acne went crazy and i was dealing with 5+ spots. i used it for 2 months straight then stopped using the product and went back to my clean & clear and st. ives scrub and my skin went back to normal. a few days ago i decided to give it a try again since i paid so much for it. after washing my face it feels very greasy, my skin is worse and i've got lots cystic acne in weird places like in my eyebrow and right under my brow bone (places where i didn't apply the product). looks like i'll be throwing it all away

When you order online they tell you that they send you a 30-day supply and 30 days later they will send you a 90-day supply. and so on every 90 days after that. If you order it without knowing this, I am sorry, but you are an idiot who can't read. Or maybe you just didn't take the time to read it. And maybe if you are ordering things online in the future you should read everything before you consent. Also, you can cancel at any time, which includes after you get your first shipment, so you never have to receive a 2nd shipment or have your card charged again.

Hi u guys!~ i've been using Proactiv for a few weeks. I first used the 1st generation of Proactiv,for about 1 week. which really makes a big different, u can clearly see the acne in my left cheek has improved well. But i quit use it! WHY? it just made my eyes SOOOO TERRIBLE!! when i wake up every morning,i could feel my eyes cannot open up, so swelling and redness all over my face. At first, i think it maybe my own fault, maybe i shouldn't use the proactiv too closed to my eye area. i looked a lot of commercials about Proactiv on Youtube, that makes my heart so firmly to continue to use Proactiv AGAIN! coz i simply want to get rid of acne instantly!! Then i try to use the 2nd generation of Proactiv, well, i can feel there's a little difference between 2 generations~ in 2nd G, the cleaner doesn't have any sand any more, that is a good point. But, i just find my self doesn't fit for Proactiv, I totally feel DESPERATELY!! My face got sooo red, dryness and very uncomfortable!!! PLUS,when im using it, my chin got some new zits!!!! it just unbelievable!!! Give my HEALTHY FACE BACK!!!!!!! Do you think it's really RISK FREE???!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A great product when it was still effective for me, minus the benozyl peroxide bleaching my clothes and having severe break outs when I stopped using it.

I have been using this product for 4 years now. I should say that I could no longer live my life without it. Thank you PROACTIV. I have had acne for more than 10 years. I've been through a lot of treatments but nothing seemed to work. It was only after I used the proactiv system that my acne has cleared up. Other Proactiv products like "Concealer plus" & " Body lotion" or anything with salicylic acid content doesn't really work for me. Neutrogena with salicylic acid doesn't work for me as well so I suppose it's because of that active ingredient. By the way, Proactiv product doesn't really work for my back acne... I have been using it for 2 years now. Or maybe it's not acne, it could be some some allergies from chicken or other fried foods.

My first thought is this: WOW! I thought I would give this a try since they offered free shipping. What did I have to lose except for my pimples (and money)? The face wash had an unpleasant smell, but I figured that was a small detail that could be overlooked if the product actually worked. The beads are also very scratchy and uncomfortable. Also, the toner smells like eggs. After the first use, my skin felt smooth. I was feeling good. I tried it again the next day with similar results. But the third day is when it began.... I washed my face right before bed and noticed it was burning. It 'twas rather uncomfortable. But I ignored it like someone in a horror movie ignores the mysterious footsteps and decides to go to sleep anyway. I used it again the next morning. It. Was. Awful. My face was burning terribly. It was raw and red, as if I had been sunburned, and it burned for several hours after use. My skin felt scaly and rough, like an crocidile's hide. I tried to cover the pimples that Proactive FAILED to eliminate. The make-up burned even more. I vowed to never use this toxic waste on my face again. Two weeks later, and my skin is still dry and peeling. It looks like I smeared Elmer's glue on my face, let it dry, and tried to peel it off. I have used face washes that have dried my skin before, but nothing has ever compared to this. Nothing! Everyone's skin is different. This was terrible for me, but it might be good for you. Just be aware that if you have sensitive skin, this is not for you. Save your skin. Use something else. P.S. I only paid $20 for it because I tried the trial size. Still isn't worth it.

I've only been using proactiv for a week now. I used to have severe acne but just have moderate now and a few scars. So far it's just really dried out and kind of burned my skin and the breakouts are still there. I dont like putting it on in the morning either because it makes my skin look shiny and just not good. But like I said it's only been a week. I'm going to give it atleast 6-8 weeks before making any kind of decision as to whether stop or not. Overall my skin feels a little smoother so I'm hoping it is working somehow.

Don't buy from this company at all! They'll rip you off!

I think it just strips your skin of everything so there is nothing for acne to feed off of. I think paint thinner would be just as effective. It burned my skin the first few uses... should something that is supposed to be good for your skin make you feel like you just washed it with acid? I'm cancelling my order.. too late to return.
