Proactiv Solution : Acne Treatment System

Im a teenage girl and Ive been using this for a few months now and I don't get how this doesn't work for people, it works great for me! I love it! However it does dry out skin a bit, but just use the green tea mosturiser and your skin will feel great! It cleared up my acne really fast. I get around one pimple every month but it doesn't stay long at all. This product is great!

Every individual is different. I keep hearing negative reviews about this product but fortunately it works for me. So even if this product might not work for that person it could work wonders for you. You won't know it until you try. Trying out facial products is all about trial & error. If it doesn't work then move on to the next. This might sound tedious but be patient. There are far worse scenarios out there, yours is just finding the right acne product. Good luck!

I loved the products! I used them when I was pregnant and it really worked... within a week my face was completely clear. However, Proactiv kept taking the money out from my credit card for 6 months but I only received the creams once!! I called customer service and apparently the supplies they sent were lost in transit 6 TIMES!!! they didn't give me the money back. After almost 2 years I decided to buy this product again.... I never got it as it was lost in transit again! Bottom line.. product is great but you cannot get it..

I have had acne problems since I was about 13. I am now 24 and still fighting acne. I had used nearly every steamlined acne fighting cleansers, etc and nothing worked. I began using Proactiv when I was 18 and it worked really well. My skin has never been completely clear, but this was the clearest it had ever been. After using it for about 2 years I decided I might not need to use such a 'harsh' product to fight (what I hoped) teenage acne. Big mistake. I began using an expensive Clinque 3-step regime and after about 3 months my acne returned worse than ever. As anyone with acne knows, this was a horrible time for me and I went on acne medication and back on Proactiv to try and clear it up. I was not sure what helped - the medication or Proactive - but in a couple of months my skin was relatively clear again. Stupidly enough about 7 months ago I stopped using Proactiv again after people told me how harsh it was for your skin. So I tried Dermalogica. Not to bag out Dermologica because I think their products work really well for a lot of people, but not for me. My acne came back quite severly. I wanted to give the Dermalogica a good run before returning to Proactiv, but after 6 months of no change I have now recently started back on Proactiv and can see results after 3 weeks. Bottom line is - everyones skin is different. I now know that my skin is extremely acne prone and Proactiv works for me so I will continue using it. It is a harsh product so if you do have sensitive skin then try something else. Tips - only use the repairing lotion at night and use a mild moisturisor in the day. No need to get ALL the Proactiv products - waste of money. Just as long as you have the essentials and then use a moisturisor that works for you. Don't 'scrub' your face with the cleanser - just gently cleanse and only for about a minute. Use the mask as a stop treatment overnight - it will draw out the existing pimple quickly.

After my experience I would never recommend Proactiv to anyone. You better off going to the dermatologist.

I have REALLY SENSITIVE SKIN because I am melato.It's been about a week that I've been using proactiv and I only have 3 pimples left out of the 12 I had.I find it has a nice scent so far my skin hasn't started peeling like with other acne product.At first I read these other reviews and they were all NEGATIVE I almost didn't buy it but I gave it a try and so far it's working great.:)

Bottom line is my experience wasn't horrible, it controlled my acne quite well but it never cleared it up. My face always felt dry but never dirty.

My skin got extremely flaky and dry! I couldn't even put cover up on. It looked so bad and SO FLAKY!!! I stopped using Proavtiv after about 4 days use. Bottom line? Do not use this product. Even a moisturizer has not helped me very much.

Ok, the first day I used it, it was amazing! It shrank my pores, and my skin was looking great. On about the third day, I started noticing red, itchy dryness on my skin, I thought it might be okay if I just used it less often and used the moisturizer..sadly mistaken. My whole face is all peely and gross. I'm very unhappy and disaapointed with this product. :( This doesn't mean it won't work on your skin, but it definitely did not work on mine..

this product is OK, ive been on it for 2-3 weeks now and im not sure how i feel about it, i will probably get another shipment delivered, as i have a very red face ( cheeks and nose) this took that away. i dont have ALOT of pimples but i did get a few and then a few more around that time of month, but from when i started using proactive ive had 10 more pimples ontop of the original ones. im hoping after another 2-3 weeks it might subside if not then i wont be continuing to use this product my skin is dryer but im guessing because my face is " getting use to" the product and its sucking up all the bad stuff on my face. you have to SLAP on the mouisterizer. over all GREAT! on reducing redness AWFUL! so far on reducing pimples.
