Proactiv Solution : Acne Treatment System

you just have to be patient with it. Give it 6 months. any product you use should atleast be given 6 months to work. dont say it doesnt work if you've only been on it for 2 weeks. If you get more breakouts,you are probably allergic to it. if so, stop using it. a good idea would be to read the back of every product just so you know if you're using it properly. Also for women, make sure you read the back to make sure what kinds of make-up you should/shouldn't use. it works!

I think that proactive really works, the first time i used it i stung but i left it on the next time i used it(that night) it did not sting one bit. i have been using it for about 2 weeks now and my skin has cleared up tremendously. i would recommend this product for people who have tried everything else as this is a bit pricey. also if you wear make up try the proactive stuff

Every individual is different. I keep hearing negative reviews about this product but fortunately it works for me. So even if this product might not work for that person it could work wonders for you. You won't know it until you try. Trying out facial products is all about trial & error. If it doesn't work then move on to the next. This might sound tedious but be patient. There are far worse scenarios out there, yours is just finding the right acne product. Good luck!

I have REALLY SENSITIVE SKIN because I am melato.It's been about a week that I've been using proactiv and I only have 3 pimples left out of the 12 I had.I find it has a nice scent so far my skin hasn't started peeling like with other acne product.At first I read these other reviews and they were all NEGATIVE I almost didn't buy it but I gave it a try and so far it's working great.:)

So the product is a little harsh on my face... No big deal. Right now my acne has found its way to my chest & back. I am someone who had such severe acne as a teenager that my dermatologist put me on acutain to save my skin! Now as an adult my acne is minor on my face so I just use step 1 and the refining mask on the chin area for the small zits. But I use the full product on my chest & back and on day 3 am seeing AWESOME results. If you are looking for a product that isn't too harsh on your back or chest then I highly recommend proactive! Please keep in mind that yes, this is a 3 step system but if side affects come along... You can adjust your frequency or what steps you end up using and where. Like my dermatologist says, " you only need to treat the areas with the most acne" so don't make your whole face suffer if only little areas are needing to be treated. If you do this right... You will be happy with the results! Also, for those of you who don't want the hassle of shipping... Find a kiosk or proactive machine at your local mall. They won't ask you for a subscription you just go buy it when you need it. You also won't have to buy in a package but separate if you only want one thing.

I loved pro active everything was beautiful it left my skin nice and soft! My blemishes went away after using the refining moisturizer. The only thing I didn't like about it was step #3 did not go well with my skin. Step #3 just left my skin even redder and full of blemishes I looked like a tomato but now I'm using the moisturizer steps 1 and 2 and my acne is clearing up!

Proactiv is a good acne treatment. It may not work right away but it does work you just have to be patient! Sometimes a pimple still comes from time to time but it doesn't stay long because I am using Proactiv. One thing people forget is that you also have to change your diet as well, that plays a BIG part in out skin. So instead of complaining about Proactiv not working do your part as well... Like drinking water instead of soda, reduce your intake on sweet/sugar, eat more fruit and vegetables, and workout/ detox!

I first started using it at 16 and it cleared out all my white-heads and pimples. I saw results in a few weeks and I never stopped using it night and day for 2 years. But after I hit 18, for some reason, my Proactive just stopped working. I don't know if it's because of stress, or my skin had gotten used to it, or if there was a formula change. I quit, but since this product had served me so well over the past years, I might try it again in the future after trying out other products. I think maybe I needed to use more of the product since I consistently used the same amount as I did when I first started using it.

Okay, most people are writing some prety negative things about proactive. However, everyone has different skin types, so Proative will work differently depending on the person! I have hormonal acne, and it works WONDERS. It doesn't have a harsh smell, you can feel it getting beneath the pores, and it softens skin. These people writing bad things don't understand that IT MUST GET WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER.Atfirst, Proactive pulls up the hidden blemishes from under your skin, because it needs to heal those TOO! Once Proactive brings up all blemishes, it works to clear and treat them, and QUICKLY. ****TO EVERYONE READING... DON'T LET ME OR THESE PEOPLE MAKE THE CHOICE FOR YOU! FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF!**** Because me, you, and the rest of these posters l have unique skin, we will all get different results. I recommend this product to ANYONE fighting acne, because if you try it, it can and most likely will work, and if you don't try it, you may be missing out on your solution!!! ******** I RECOMMEND PROACTIVE TO YOU********

I've been using Proactiv for about 4 or 5 years now. I've just recently switched moisturisers to the daily oil control and have seen a dramatic improvement. My make - up stays on much longer and the shine factor is significantly reduced. The down side is the lack of SPF. I understand why people say they find it quite drying, but I cannot emphasis enough the importance of a moisturiser. If you only use the three pack you really do need to use another moisturiser, but the it is much more effective with a Proactive one. When I first started using these products it took a while for my skin to adjust as the Benzoyl Peroxide is quite intense. During the adjustment I experienced sporadic dehydration and sensitivity in different areas but it settled by the time I got into the routine of it all. I also think people need to recognise that it isn't going to work for everyone. For me, it hasn't given me the acne free skin that I dream of but I won't deny the improvements in the overall appearance and texture of my skin. I have fewer break outs, less often and when I do they clear up much quicker. I highly recommend the salicylic acid pen - it is far and away the best spot treatment I have used (and I have tried alot). These products don't stop pms breakouts but it doens reduce them to one or two spots which is an absolute plus for me. I have recently been looking around at other products because I can't afford to spend $103 every few months. I am keen to try the Acne Therapy System by Neutrogena but am hesitant as the people who liked the range said that Proactive had no effect or made their skin worse, and vice versa. Overall - as an 18 year uni student I am very self conscious. Proactiv has been the only product I have found that has boosted my confidence about my skin. I definetly recommend it.
