Do not use without consalting a doctor. I've burned my skin badly. Red spots appeared a week later and now it itches a lot. Do not use!!!!!

refining mask
I have only tried the refining mask and if i dabbed a bit on a spot and left it over night it really helped to reduce the size and redness!

Pros:

I am 53 and suffered from acne all my life. Proactive has worked best for me when I use it regularly and I've tried it all.

Cons:

Years ago I ordered the system and had to sign up for regular shipments and found it to be too much, too often. Now I can get what I want when I want at a keosk in the mall.

Worth the money when I use regularly. Clears the many hair bumps under my chin. I've even had bumps disappear overnight after using the repair lotion.

Pros:

made my face really smooth
tingle
controlled my pores

Cons:

made me break out even more
more redness
increase in white heads
very expensive

i saw a ad on t.v thinking it would work with my acne prone skin. Ive tried other products and nothing works. When i ordered proactive it was $20. the next 4 months it went up in price. it worked but it was super sensitive with my skin.I thought it would make my acne would be gone but the next day i would even break out even more

Pros:

Smells nice
Makes skin feel tingly

Cons:

Irritated my skin
Made skin dry and red
Made acne on neck worse!
Very expensive

I cancelled and would not use or recommend this product to anyone! It made my skin so much worse....I had moderately severe acne on my chin and neck all of a sudden right before I turned 40. I was up late saw commercial for Proactiv decided to try it...I am sad to say I struggled for another month with my acne while using it. As soon as I started using Neutrogena products my face slowly started to heal....I still get a few occasional pimples but I am a HUGE fan of Neutrogena products especially the acne scrub and the pink grapefruit wash:) will never use Proactiv again-NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

It worked on reducing the acnes. That was true.But it just let u happy for this several months then horrible thing just starts!!!!

Cons:

I used them for around 3 to 4 months. It did work during the second and the third month. But it dried my skin hella horrible. My face got peeled. So I had to put some lotion on it. Then my skin just felt so oily and kinda liked breaking on drying. Then I stopped to use them. After one week, I went to play sport and sweated a lot. Then I felt my skin so sensitive. When I got home to stand in front of the mirror, my face got 10times worser in one day. I just tell u guys before to buy this products

This product is going to make ur skin super super sensitive. Oh my god. It would work on ur skin in the first two or three months. But after these months the horrible thing just starts. It will make ur acne to be worser 100timez. Now I just wanna destroy this company.

Pros:

- refreshes skin
- feels fresh after using it
- heals my acne
- 60 day money back guarantee

Cons:

Nothing

This is how acne products work, they dont just clear your skin right away, in week 1-2 you seem to think its getting worse, but really its not, its just making all your pimples pop out, than it clears them after. But ya for some people it works, for others it drys there skin out.
