February 6, 2012

Pros:

Cleared (most of) my skin
Made it softer

Cons:

Still get frequent blemishes
Extremely drying
My skin still gets oily mid-day
Toner runs out very fast

I started using this product about a year ago. I was fourteen and I was fed up with my acne that had been moderate/highly moderate for the past two years. I saw the commercials and decided to finally give this product a try, seeing as I had been all over the board with about five or six other products. I ordered it and it was shipped to my house. I began using it and I broke out, but then after about a month or two my skin began to become clearer, but I still couldn't get rid of the acne. After about six months my skin began to begin to clear up for the most part, but I was never fully clear. I still use it now (along with Neutrogena Moisturising Lotion, which seemed to be the only thing that worked) and I'm tired of looking into the mirror and seeing acne. I'm about to switch products.

Pros:

NOTHING, NADA, ZIP!

Cons:

- the toner burns so like WTF?!
- the cleanser feels like soo not cleansing..
- the refining mask didn't work for me, it made the spot i put it on DRY & made the pimple darken..so again wtf.
- the matifying moisturizer was good, but DIDN'T moisturize.
- made my skin very dry, and just ew.

okay, so im 14 and i have some pimples when i'm about to start my period, so my mommy got this for me for it and yeah. THIS THING SUCKS. LOOK HERE : IF YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS THAN THE MURAD ONE, GO AHEAD. but seriously, get something better than this.

Pros:

The lotion smells nice

Cons:

I think it causes more problems then it does good. I went from a couple issues a week to a couple issues more a day. My face looks likea target hit with bird shot from 100 yards out.

I WOULDN'T buy this product again. I got better results from Wal Mart brand facial cleaners. I personally think proactiv hired make-up artists to make these commercial people look like haunted house spooks then washed it off to reveal a face of someone without any problems to start with! It's not letting me send it as a 1 rating so if this does go thru, don't read into my rating there.

Pros:

Easy to return if you havn't opened package. Does work

Cons:

Too much

If you don't like the cleanser they also give you a toner lotion and mask (the mask does wonders!) so it's good for how many chi=oices you have.

Pros:

Reduces the size/amount of acne on my face.

Cons:

Takes a bit to apply, the dryness,having to use it all the time or else the acne comes back.

Works for me, i dont have severe acne, i get maybe 3-5 pimples on my chin at a time, and a few on my forehead, nothing big. And if i wake up and theres a big zit waiting to wreck my day, Apply the refining mask and within an hour or so its hardly even noticeable.
