Proactiv Solution : Acne Treatment System

dont expect to much with this product like i did i didnt do much really,, it made my skin ugly,it made it really dry and dark and doesnt do anything to get rid of my oil it sucks really,,dont belive others good comment about this product they are just being payed okay,,,my biggest mistake is proactiv,,i didnt read reviews when i bought this product so ignarance for me

I do not recommend this kit, however the refining mask does work pretty well. I imagine if you have sensitive skin, this will ruin your skin.

I have a few pimples that pop up here and there, but I am prone to getting a cyst or 2 every few months on my chin. Proactiv worked for the little zits for a time and whiteheads, but was horrible for cysts. I think the system was not working for me anymore, since I've been on it for so long, so I switched to Dan's regiment. So far, I like what I see and feel.

I used this for about 6 months & this did NOTHING for my acne. Wouldnt reccommend it to anyone with moderatley severe or severe acne. Dont waste your money it will not help you.

I have heard from many of my friends that this product didn't work for them. I am one of the lucky ones who it did work for. Like I said, I only use the lotion once a day and have formulated my own skin care regimen, in which I incorporate proactive. Since I don't use it that often, I also rarely have to buy it (about twice a year). I used to be extremely self conscious about my skin, and now I can go out in public without makeup and not even think twice about it. Everyone needs to come up with a skin care plan that works best for them. Fortunately for me, proactive has been my golden ticket to clear skin.

This product is great for hormonal acne. I started using it while I was in college after one side of my face broke out because of intense long-term stress. The whole left side of my face was covered is small, red, painful pimples and acne scars. After using this product for 1-2 weeks, my skin cleared up substantially and the acne scars were minimized - so much so that I was complimented on my skin. After using Proactiv for 5 years, I decided to try other products to save a little money. Surely my acne is not that bad anymore, I thought. Unfortunately, that was a big mistake because those products (Neutrogena being one of them) really irritated my skin and l developed breakouts all over my chin and forehead. Now when people look at me they pause and exclaim, "What happened to your face??" Think I'll be returning to Proactiv very soon . . . Bottom line, if you have severe hormonal acne (high stress or menstrual related) or very oily skin, you should use this product.

I've using proactive for a month. At first I didn't think it was going to work for me but I slowly started to see my skin getting clear. I'm going to keep using it to see how well it works after a while. I'd recommend it to everyone just be patient n you'll see the difference

The most concerning thing about this product is that it started bleaching out my towels and pillow cases. If that's what it does to fabric, what's it doing to my skin? Currently looking for something new.

I have been struggling with acne ever since i hit puberty and my skin did a complete flip-flop. I went from clear skin to a few chin or nose pimples to where we start the story. I had been using different oil free face wash/Noxzema/cheap cleaners and noticed my face was really breaking out, my makeup i wore everyday also did not help the case. But i was also eating really bad at this time too. My skin is clear from the eyes down but on my forehead i get large bright red bumps, and brown scars. I couldn ´t get by with the old mosquito bite excuse, so my mom splurged and bought me the Proactiv 3 step system. I also got the Skin Purifying Mask which in my opinion helped to cool and calm acne spots. The system worked for the first month, and they charged me for a second 90-day treatment. My break down of the 3 step system Skin Exfoliating face wash- It is much too harsh for acne spots, especially cystic acne or large pimples because it burns open sores scratched sensitive skin. I noticed also after i used it that my skin was so dry and tight and seemed to have lost all of its elasticity. Pore Targeting treatment- This is the best of the three, it contains benzoyl peroxide which is one of the best treatments for acne. This i felt did the job in penetrating to the root of the acne problem the pore. Complexion Perfecting Hydrator- This was an iffy product, it burned my skin and dried it out SO much. Rough acne(one that is hot and tingly and burning) and this ¨moisturizer ¨ should not be together. It literally numbs my face and that ´s funny because it does not even hydrate my skin like it claims to. OVERALL- I do not suggest wasting 25 dollars on the 3 step system because only one product works average. Its too harsh and it feels to chemically made, if i were you and im struggling with acne i would suggest ST. Ives, Neutrogena or OLAY Fresh Effects, homemade products, or seeing a dermatologist.

I hate proactive. It didn't help my skin and it bleached my clothes
