Proactiv Solution : Acne Treatment System

It was a waste of money for me but I have heard other people say it worked for them. I would not recommend this product. It didn't work and made my skin a mess.

Its an amazing product!!!! Buy it!!!

This product does work. If you can afford it every month, and the price is only about $20/per month, it is a wonderful solution to your acne. I have had pretty bad acne on my face from the moment i started to get pimples during puberty, and i've been to doctors and dermotologists who have given me perscriptions which have never workd like proactive has for me. I'm so happy there is a product out there that is affordable and that works without having to have a perscription form a doctor.

Be careful if you have sensitive/dry skin, because this will destroy your skin if you do. Overall, this got rid of my acne, but not the red marks left behind.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury: I used Proactiv when I was 16 and it made my face red and blotchy, but it cleared up my acne. The reason it worked so poorly was because I USED IT WRONG! Use it as directed, if your face gets dry, only use it once a day. If it seems to be fine, use it twice a day as directed. Listen to your skin!! We all have different skins and different needs and Proactiv cannot possibly cater to that, you need to learn your skin and adapt. I don't ALWAYS use Proactiv, not if my skin starts to feel bad, that way my skin can't get used to it either. I had bad acne and I barely get any breakouts now.

Soo i've used this product for about 4 or 5 months. The first time i washed my face with it, my skin felt refreshed and clean. I had a really good feeling about it. I put the toner on and it stinged a little. After a couple of minutes i put on the lotion and i felt refreshed again. That night i went to bed and the next morning my face was RED! I just thought maybe if i kept putting it on, the redness will eventually go away. I used it again that morning. For about a week that i've been using it day & night, i noticed that my face was all dry and peeling. I stopped using it for one day. Then i kept the cycle going again, just this time i only did it once a day. after maybe 2 or 3 weeks i started using it twice a day because i had an important party to go to and i didn't want to have pimples all over my face. During those times i saw a difference. My face was clearer. Then by the end of the 3rd month i saw zits again. By the middle of the 4th month, the treatement stopped working. (for me at least) Then by the 5th month i ran out & i just thought what's the point of spending more money for something that isn't working for me. You CAN see a difference, it just depends on your skin too. It didn't work that great for me but you can give it a try!

i think this product is amazing! i wasnt using it properly but it was still clearing up my skin. then i found out how to use it and for me now, it works day and night. it is fantastic. i wish i hadnt waited so long to bye this product. i am getting a lot of comments about how my skin is looking really nice. Thank Proactiv, you made my life alot more easier

I love this product. My sister was using it for a while and when she visited me back in NZ she told me to give it a try because I have always had such bad problems with acne. Everytime I try a new product it seems to work for two weeks but then it stops working. With proacitv, this didn't happen. It cleared it up so well and has given me my confidence back. :) I followed the instructions carefully and my skin felt so soft after using it and it worked so well. People need to read the print carefully. It's 29.95 plus postage and handling for 30 days, so if you keep getting it it goes up to 89.90 for 90 days supply. A lot of people get caught up on that but if you read the information right then you'll be fine.

I have been suffering from mild-moderate acne for about 3 years now. I have used many things from drugstore all that way to high end. Nothing seemed to work. I have seen many Proactiv commercials and decided to give it a try. I have nothing to lose, if it doesn't work or makes my skin worse, I'll stop using it and return it (they have a great return policy). So about a week ago I went over to the mall to pick it up ( they have a proactiv booth at my mall, and I didn't want to order it online and wait 10 business day for it to come). Well I got to the booth, and the girl that was working turned around to me after I had been waiting for 5 minutes and told me that she was going on break her for 30 mins and told me to come back later. I told her it would only take 5 minutes, I just had a few questions for her. She said the computer automatically locks when it's time for her break, which I though was B.S. But I said whatever and walked around the mall for 30 mins. She came back from her break and was actually very helpful, and helped me find the products that were best for me. I got the 3 step system that came with a free refining mask, and I bought the Oil free moisturizer SPF 15 on the side because she recommended it. I used it that night and was quite impressed. My skin felt great. The only thing is I don't recommend rubbing the cleanser for 1-2 mins like it says on the bottle, only for 30 secs (it has sugar like granules in it that can really irritate the skin if rubbed to hard or long). Other than that, it was great. Favorite products are the moisturizer and refining mask. The moisturizer is the perfect consistency and has SPF 15 , and the refining mask dries up and gets rid of zits like theres no tomorrow!! Its great. Overall, I'm very impressed with everything, accept with customer service. I would recommend trying it. It pretty much cleared up my skin completely. Everyones skin is different, and you can always return it for a full refund if it doesn't work

I began breaking out a little before high school, and acne became a HUGE part of my life. Anyone who has had acne knows how shattering it can be, and as silly and vain as it sounds, your whole outlook on a day can be decided on how your skin is feeling/looking. I started using Proactiv in the first year of highschool but stopped til year 10. In year 10, I broke out really badly and began using Proactiv again. Within a year, I was COMPLETELY cleared up. Although my skin was clear and healthy, a big part of me was still obsessed with my skin (it'll never go away - even when I'm old and grey, I'll always have a 'thing' about my skin) I decided to do some microdermabrasion facials before my formal/prom. The specialist that performed the microdermabrasions asked what my skincare routine was like, and when I told her I used Proactiv, she was shocked and told me to stop using it IMMEDIATELY and insteause the all-natural skin products that they sold at the salon. Within 2 weeks of stopping the use of Proactiv, I began to break out, and by 2 months, my face was in the worst condition it had ever been. I was devastated. It took me a while to realise that the reason I broke out was because I stopped using Proactiv. At first I thought it was the microdermabrasion procedures, but I realise it was Proactiv when I began using it again. It had been about 4 months since I'd last used Proactiv and so when I started back up, my skin became really dry to the point where it was flaking and applying makeup would just leave my face in a mess. But I stuck through it because I knew that Proactiv works...it just takes ages (and the amount of time it works is different for everyone). I've now been back using it for about 10 weeks, and there's been a significant improvement (atm I've got a couple zits but quite a bit of scarring). Bottom line: IT WORKS! But it'll make your skin really bad before it works, and once it clears you up, you have to use it o
