Proactiv Solution : Acne Treatment System

Ugh, I would defintiley NOT buy this again and definitley regret wasting money on this trash. Do not think for a second that your acne will go away completley and stay away completey with this product. It is very harsh on the skin and irritates it like crazy. It did clear a little bit of my acne, like maybe 20%, but it stopped working after about 3 weeks and then after that it just made it worse. If you have sensitive skin, STAY AWAY FROM THIS.

I used Proactiv Solutions for about 5 years, at the time it seemed like the only thing that actually worked on my face by clearing my acne. But I noticed that once I started using it, I ALWAYS had to use it. I got redness for the first week, but after that it cleared up my acne. Over time, it dried out my skin a lot! My whole face was flaky, and I was using the Daily Moisterizer. Because of how dry my face was, I went through the bottle very quick, so I bought new moisterizer quite often and it wasnt cheap! I've read your supposed to switch cleansers every few months so your face doesnt become immune to it, so I tried doing that but every time I use anything other than Proactiv, I broke out like crazy! But for some odd reason, it got to a point where I switched back to Proactiv, hoping it would clear the acne caused by the previous cleanser but instead, it made it even worse, my face was filled with acne, no one spot of my face didnt have a pimple. I then switched to Biore Deep Pore Cleanser instead and my face cleared up right away. but as soon as I even tried to use Proactiv, I once again broke out. It wasnt just a pimple here and there, it was A LOT of pimples. Spot treatment (Refining Mask) used to work for the first few months, then it stopped! If anything, I think it makes the pimple worse. The pimple(s) will become more red/painful. So would I recommend it? No, and why? Because its a short term effect, and once you start using it, you cant stop. If you stop, you'll break out, and if you start again, at one point you'll still break out. Im not sure if it would happen to everyone, but thats what happened to me. Don't be fooled by the celebrities on the commercials!! There are plenty of other products out there, where you can spend half the amount of money on it and it'll work way better than Proactiv.

Okay, so I've always wanted to try it since it was on TV but my mom always said that it's fake and crappy. One day, her friend recommended it to me. It dries your face out first, but that stops! ;) Oh and after a while you can use a little more step 3. And DO NOT apply the refining mask to your eyelids/ under your eyes!!! Oh, and only use the mask twice a week since it really dries skin. Well, I've been using it for 60 day and I'm almost clear!! You GOTTA give it TIME! Trust meee:D Sorry that this is so long, but it seems like my face is totally clear. You cannot see any acne on it! Before proactiv i thought a clear face would make my life soo much better, but once youre clear, the only thing is that your not embarrassed and you ARE prettier. But its not like exciting. trust me. Acne or not, light or severe: You. Are. Beautiful. !! Trust me:) Anyways, give it a try. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!!! :)

I tired the proactive soution and was a faithful cutomer for over a year, and it works...at first, then my acne came back worse than ever! When I started it, I would classify my acne as mild, but by the end it was moderately severe, and covered my entire face. Thank goodness I got off proactive and found this site. Since I left proactive, and started the regimen my skin has dramatically cleared. Save your self the time, and the money I wasted, and start off on the right foot with the regimen.

I bought Proactive from a kiosk in the mall. I bought the package that included the cleanser, toner, BP cream, green tea moisturizer, and the little sulfur mask cream. I used it consistently and followed the directions. This did nothing to improve my skin. My skin was dry and it even made my fingers that I used to apply the sulfur mask cream dry-even to the point where my skin peeled a little. I developed more pimples than I have ever had before. These pimples would actually bleed leaving scabs on my face!!! I used the product until it was all gone. It left my skin in horrible condition with awful dark spots everywhere. I've heard it works for some but it didn't help me at all. A waste of my time and money.

This is a horrible bleached product. It has even bleached my towels and face cloth and any clothes that get splashed on. DON"T USE THIS. There's better products out there than this rubbish celebrity endorsed bleach.

I ordered this on Ebay to avoid the sign-up/refill hassle. I figured if it worked for me, i'd be glad to sign up for it. As soon as I started using it, it was like a miracle, my skin looked amazing and I felt great about myself! After about 3-4 weeks of using it religiously, I started noticing a pimple here and a pimple there, and by the 7th week or so, my skin was back to the way it was unfortunately. After looking at my face on the 8th week and having about 5 or 6 big pimples on my face, I figured it stopped working. So in conclusion, this product doesn't completely clear your skin, but it will help control your breakouts to a fault,

I would NEVER recommend this product to anyone. If you are breaking out then I suggest you go to a doctor and have them write you a prescription or use something over the counter like St. Ives or Queen Helene acne wash which has helped to clear up what Proactive caused. Their customer service sucks and they are rude. I also got tricked into buying a 90 day supply even though I only wanted the trial product and they wouldn't refund my money but instead argued with me about it. I couldn't remember what I paid but it was 90 something dollars

Good just to generally cleanse and tone etc as a regime for people with normal (clear) skin, but not worth the £45 because it didn't actually help my acne at all, in fact it made it worse

eh.. ive used it on and off for YEARS... it clears up my acne on my back decently.. but it always comes back.. its just a vicious cycle.
