Proactiv Solution : Acne Treatment System

this stuff is very very good. people just use too much of the reparing lotion which is the one that drys out skin. DIME SIZE PEOPLE DIME SIZE!!! you break out when you first start because its pushing all that crap out of your skin and then it gets better. oh yeah btw dont order online they auto ship and it's really annoying.

i have a question tho. i have this other skin problem now that may be rosacea, but i'm not sure. anyway i thought i might try proactiv again and see if it clears that up. has anyone used it for anything besides acne?

So far my experience with proactiv has been great! Not everyone's skin is the same so the results will be noticeable at different times. But I've used it for about 3 weeks and my skin is starrting to look really clear, I love it! I've tried plenty of face washes and none have worked as well as proactiv!(:

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!

I was a walking advertisement for Proactive many years ago. I was fed up with my adult pimples and finally tried Proactive. Then i would tell everyone about how great it works. I did still get 1 or 2 pimple onces in a while, but a lot better than the 5 or 6 on my face at any one time ALL THE TIME. Then after giving birth to my second child, my skin changed suddenly. It was a lot drier. So when I used Proactive, it instantly make my skin itchy and gave me rash on my face. So I stopped using it. Now after my third child, my skin is back to oily again and prone to breakouts. So I've started using proactive again. But this time, I'm only using it once a day because I don't feel my skin is as oily as it used to be before I had kids. Using it once a day didn't give me a rash and curb the pimples significantly. Proactive works for me as long as my face is oily and have a few pimple at all times. So i think it probably tend to work better on oily skin.

I ordered this product about a year ago, but was afraid to use it because of all the negative reviews. So instead I've spend about $1500.00 on expensive products at a skin care center. Well about a month ago I just could not afford to buy from the skin care center, so I said what the heck I have the proative in my cabinet, I'll just try it. I wish I had done this a year ago my skin has never been so clear. This product dis work for me and I love it. My skin is clear and soft. But I also do use a good mositurizer. I highly recomment it.

I've been using Mary Kay before, and that cleared my acne, but it dries out my skin and doesn't clean thoroughly. I always go back to Proactiv because not only does it clean thoroughly and get rid of every trace of dead skin cell there is, but it doesn't dry out my skin at all. Plus, it's a 3-step process that doesn't take more than 3-5 minutes, so that's a plus for me in a busy school morning.

I started using this in 2002 and haven't looked back. At first it did dry my skin out, as other reviewers have stated. When I noticed this drying, I researched and found out I should also moisturize, which I never did before (mainly because I had very, very oil skin and figured it would add even more oil.) However, once I started using the moisturizer it was fantastic! Also, if it is too drying at first, do not wash or scrub very hard when using the face wash. It does have some little exfoliating beads, so be very gentle if you feel it is too much. In time, your face will adjust to it. I also realized the importance of moisturizer. If you have really oil skin it is actually very important to moisturize because sometimes oily skin can be due to dry skin which then sends the sebaceous glands into overdrive which then causes oily, oily skin. Using a moisturizer helps the skin to regulate a little better, but it will not happen over night. Trust me I know all about oily skin as I used to buy the oil blotting sheets in BULK!!! But eventually, the oil on my skin leveled out. It is still oily, but not nearly as much and when it does, I still use the oil blotting sheets, just not as much. I cannot praise this product enough!! Excellent--but you have to give it a little bit of time...at least a month, and for some with moderate to severe acne probably 3 months. Since I only use a small amount, it lasts me more than 60 days. Also, another tip: I know some people will buy it and just use the cleanser and repairing lotion, but not the toner. (because they think the toner is "useless.") This is NOT the case, you NEED to use them all together. The toner is effective as it works WITH the system. My sister went that route (did not use the toner) and her skin would not clear up the way it should and it really dried out. I told her and told her, and finally she used it and incorporated a moisturizer and she had great results!! This is my 10th YEAR using proact

I've had acne-prone skin for 10 years. It started when I was 12, and I'm now 22. I now use proactive and spironolactone. I've tried each on its own, but I have to use both together to get great results. I have moderate acne when I'm not using those products, and basically no acne when I'm using both. I started using Proactive three years ago. I had been on spironolactone for several months when I started proactive, but I still had acne. Proactive cleared my skin quickly with little irritation. I've tried to switch to other products twice to save money and time. Both times my acne returned, and I decided it was worth the trouble. Here's some more info about me, so you can decide how relevant this review is to you: Combination/oily skin Breakouts coincide with monthly cycle Medium skin sensitivity Have also tried: antibiotics, retinoids, clinique 3-piece system, oxy brand products, prescription benzoyl peroxide products. The antibiotics worked fairly well, but I built a resistance over time. The rest helped some, but not enough. Acne type: Papules, whiteheads, occasional cysts, on forehead and chin especially Severity: Has varied from moderately severe to light while using other products. When using proactive and spiro together, my skin is clear. Other helpful stuff: Exercising (reduces stress and gets blood flow to your face), cutting nails super short (keeps you from picking), staying hydrated, keeping your pillow case and makeup brushes clean

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!!! :)
