Made Acne worse

I tired the proactive soution and was a faithful cutomer for over a year, and it works...at first, then my acne came back worse than ever! When I started it, I would classify my acne as mild, but by the end it was moderately severe, and covered my entire face. Thank goodness I got off proactive and found this site. Since I left proactive, and started the regimen my skin has dramatically cleared. Save your self the time, and the money I wasted, and start off on the right foot with the regimen.

Pros:

Is effective on mild-moderate acne if u use it regularly.
Order cums on time.
The user manual has all the info u need in a very simple language.

Cons:

U can experience slight burning sensation and redness (due to BP) bt it goes after sum time.

Proactiv Solution is grt acne care system, provided u use it regularly and stick to the instructions. If it dries out ur face then try Proactiv's Green Tea moisturizer. It is light and makes u fall in love with ur skin. Proactiv Solution is worth a try for sumone with acne issues.

Pros:

The product does work for the most part

Cons:

You are decieved about the actuall cost. The commercial states $19.95 and free shipping. What they don't tell you is that you are getting trial sizes. So after the initial $21 cost, if you opt for the 3 month shipment your are now in for an additional $73.

You are being scammed on the cost.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Did not work.

BEWARE when you order online you are joining the "Proactiv" club. They will automatically charge you every 2 months and send you a new package. They will NOT notify you that they are doing this.

DON'T BUY.

Pros:

Came with a free refining mask

Cons:

Didn't work

I tried using this product twice, both times I used it every day for about a four month period. I was really excited to get started using this (it was the first real thing I had tried for my acne) but it gave absolutely no results. I feel like this product would only help you if you had three or four zits on your entire face, because that's about all cleared for me. I had never cancelled my order so I kept getting boxes of it and after about six months of stopping I tried it again, but as before I saw no results. I have seen results for some people, but definitely not recommended if you have severe acne.

Pros:

Cleared my acne better than anything else I've tried.

Cons:

Dried out my face a little at first. During the "dry times" I cut back to washing once a day and used the green tea moisturizer twice a day and it helped greatly. It does take a little time using it for your skin to get used to washing twice a day with it.

I do have light to moderate acne. Nothing to have to see a dermatologist about, HOWEVER, no other over the counter products have worked for me. Even light acne is really embarrassing to have to live with so don't think I have it easy just because I don't see a dermatologist about it. I've tried it all, washes, cleansers, creams, pads, scrubs, I've even tried not doing anything at all. Nothing worked! I began to see results in about two weeks from beginning to use Proactive and contrary to what I'm seeing posted here, my acne only came back if I stopped washing for extended periods of time. Well worth the $20 a month!

Pros:

Worked VERY well for 2 years- 14-16 yrs old.
Never dried skin

Cons:

stopped using it, had BEAUTIFUL SKIN, tried using it again after about5 months.... made it worse :(

i used this for a couple of years on and off when i was younger... back when having ONE pimple was unbearable. worked absolutely great. loved it. my mum hated it as it bleached every single towel in the house :D stopped using it in about feb of this year. had the most beautiful sin ever without even doing anything to it. i thought i had grown out of my zits. amazingle clear skin for about 5 months. (started using BC pills in november last year) went off them and BOOM. acne disaster. august came and i went to see a doc, prescribed epiduo. i thought it made my face the worst its ever been. started using proactiv again for 3 weeks- now that was the WORST my face has EVER been. (check my pics in the gallery!) unfortunately it made things worse this time around but i am so glad it kept me clear for years beforehand. unfortunately im on anti-biotics now :( possibly accutane if it returns. gave it to my sister who has always had a worse face than me even though she is younger! cleared her up nicely. well worth a shot in my opinion Acne was basically always non-existant, now it is unfortunately recovering from a moderately severe breakout nd dealing with LOTS of ugly ugly hyperpigmentation :'(

Pros:

None.

Cons:

If you have sensitive skin I recommend avoiding this product. Commonly cause mild to sever skin irritation.

Avoid, or use a test strip for 2 plus days. This product is extremely strong and I warn anyone with sensitive skin to not use it. There are numerous reports of allergic reactions. I had a sever allergic reaction that lasted over a week, almost like a chemical burn, raised, itchy bumps all over my face and neck, and had followed the usage instruction carefully. Don't say you haven't been warned.
