Proactiv Solution : Acne Treatment System

I love this product. This helped my acne and help prevent it. Let me start with what skin type I have. I am a teenager. I have oily, acne prone skin with a little bit of sensitivity. This product works very well. It did what it was advertised and has some great add ons. The daily oil control works! This helped to give me less oil. The mask works wonders. I use it for 2 nights, and the fat red zit will be gone. A bad pint is that it dried my skin out. I cannot use the moisturizer in the oil control set I got because it does not do its job. It has SPF. It looks like, smells like and feels like a sunscreen. Second, this left me with dry, flaky patches all over my skin. I sometimes have just use a deep cleansing toner and a moisturizer and skip the system. The prices can also be deceiving though. Overall, I would recommend this product to people who have tried oth things and they have not wored for them. This is for people with ane people's, not for the occasional zit here and there.

I have heard about proactive for years and have always wanted to try but figured that as with most as seen on tv products it was only a gimmick. I am a professional performer and consistently have to use stage makeup that can cause breakouts by the end of a week of performances. In general I have very little acne but do have combination/slightly oily skin. I recently decided that I would give it a try after seeing the kiosk in a local mall (to prevent the automatic renewal horror stories) and decided to give it a try. Literally within 3 days the few minor blemishes had healed completely and my skins texture not only felt smoother but also blended some of the discoloration from previous blemishes. I write this only because I am truly impressed with the product and am grateful that I decided to give it a try. I do however suggest that the cleanser be used as directed for a full 2 minutes but only at night at the end of the day. Then use the toner in the mornings and for a quick refresher during the day. *The recommended dosage is what I believe and hear dries out the skin and cause some of the lack of improvement. I have already returned to purchase additional products including the oil free moisturizer which I use during the day and then The Repairing Treatment moisturizer at night time or when I am not out doing the strenuous activity. Lastly, to quickly aide in getting rid of a blemish here or that that pops up, utilize The Refining Mask but only a pea sized amount on the actual blemish/pimple and leave it on over night. Then the next morning simply rinse with water and only if necessary use the toner again. There is no reason to use the cleanser both morning and night other then to dry out your skin. Overall, I say give it a try... Obviously everything isn't for everybody, Nothing Ventured-Nothin Gained. All the best and Thank You Proactive!

Not worth the amount charged, and the pricing is miss leading. You are better off getting the same stuff at wallgreens for 1/8 of the price.

My skin got extremely flaky and dry! I couldn't even put cover up on. It looked so bad and SO FLAKY!!! I stopped using Proavtiv after about 4 days use. Bottom line? Do not use this product. Even a moisturizer has not helped me very much.

this product is OK, ive been on it for 2-3 weeks now and im not sure how i feel about it, i will probably get another shipment delivered, as i have a very red face ( cheeks and nose) this took that away. i dont have ALOT of pimples but i did get a few and then a few more around that time of month, but from when i started using proactive ive had 10 more pimples ontop of the original ones. im hoping after another 2-3 weeks it might subside if not then i wont be continuing to use this product my skin is dryer but im guessing because my face is " getting use to" the product and its sucking up all the bad stuff on my face. you have to SLAP on the mouisterizer. over all GREAT! on reducing redness AWFUL! so far on reducing pimples.

good product, terrible company. Rating the customer service of the company would be a 1 out of 10.. And I am being generous with the 1.

Not worth the money, by ANY means. False advertisement for sure

I was so excited when I first tried this (many moons ago) because it cleared my face so quick! But then it started becomming less effective, and left my face very dry and irritated looking. I think the cleanser is to blame, because i still use the toner and the bp treatment. But I think the cleanser with bp is too much. Its too many harsh things! A harsh scrubby cleanser, a harsh glycolic toner and a harsh bp lotion. Too many harshys.

I do think its a good product just not as great as I hoped. You have to be really dumb to walk outside with proactiv still on. Obviously you have to wash it off and you wont get a sunburn. I still get about one pimple per week including blackheads. Not to mention my acne marks and bumps that just wont go away. My face is oily! Also make sure your hands are sanitized before using proactiv. Popping a small pimple is like asking for three more too come out. Last, PROACTIV WONT CURE YOUR ACNE!! SO DONT GET YOUR HOPES UP!!

I used Proactiv for almost 3 years. In the beginning it worked wonders and it felt great having clear skin after battling sooo long. Although it did take 1 month for me to see results. During the 2nd year i had little flare ups but i had faith in the product. On the 3rd year i realized that my acne was coming back big time. At the same time the price increased ($600 TT which is $100 USD) and i couldn't cope anymore especially when i was paying more for less. Yes, the unopened bottles started to feel almost empty. So, i stopped... One thing though, i realized that i started to get white spots on my face while using it in the 2nd year. When i stopped the white spots faded. Then again i do live in the Caribbean.... Personally, it's not a product that i would use again. Nevertheless, everyone's skin is different, but, go with what your doctor recommends. Hope this was helpful, I tried other products after, Ashe Skin Care and now Oxy....
