Proactiv Solution : Acne Treatment System

My 15 year old daughter and I had expectations that her acne on her forehead would dramatically clear after using this product. It is marketed in such a way. 6 weeks later, and there are no signs of improvement. I am totally disappointed in this product. I will return it prior to the 60 day money back guarantee ends and will take her to a dermatoligist. Don't have any expectations that this product may work for you. As we had hope, we are really disappointed. If you purchase it, I hope you have better luck than us. kindest regards...

I used this product while I was on antibiotics, and they worked really good together, but after I stopped using the antibiotics, the proactiv wasn't so great on its own. I used proactiv for about 3 years, I stopped using it because I figured I could go to walmart and get nuetrogena and have the same if not better results for a lot cheaper. Proactiv would probably be more fit for someone with light to mild acne and money to spend. I would not suggest letting proactiv have access to your banking information/ direct payments out of your account. I called and cancelled my order about a month and a half ago, and they said I would not be charged again and sure enough today I had a pending payment from proactiv in my checking account. And if you send proactiv back as a refund, make sure you get a tracking number, otherwise youll have to wait 5-6 weeks just for a refund.

My face has cleared up really well from the use of Proactiv, but from what I have read it will only work on some skin types. It has so far, make my acne less irritated and inflammed, and I highly recommend it.

I had read so many bad reviews on Proactiv that I was scared to try it for YEARS. Man I wish I had ignored them, I would have had clear skin by now! A few things to all those giving a bad review: 1. READ THE FLIPPIN INSTRUCTIONS To everyone saying "oh they sent me a travel sizeeeee. I always run out!!!" read the instructions. It clearly says to use a dime sized amount of the soap and toner, and a PEA sized amount of the lotion. The next month they will send you LARGE bottles that should last you 3 months. Also, people saying the wash hurts, or scrapes their skin, the instructions also say "massage GENTLY on skin." The instructions are there for a reason. 2. USE EVERY STEP EVERY AM/PM As with EVERY acne treatment, you MUST be consistent. Don't give a product a bad review because you're lazy or skipped a few days. Likewise, you have to use a treatment for AT LEAST 4 weeks + to see the MINIMAL results on your skin. 3. GET A MEMBERSHIP Even if it is only temporary. You save tons of money on ALL of their products. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, CANCEL IT. 4.READ THE FINE PRINT Sorry, but that is the world we live in. At the bottom of all commercials they tell you it is for light - moderate acne.NOT SEVERE I have moderately to moderately severe acne. It works great for me. I knocks out everything minus some nasty cysts, but I have started doryx for that. I have been using ALL THREE STEPS included, EVERY morning and night, EVERY DAY, TWICE A DAY, for TWO MONTHS SOLID. And trust me. It works. I despise when people give bad reviews on great products because they used them incorrectly.

I love Proactiv. I've been using it for 6 years and I love it. Without it, I wouldn't be the confident, happy person that I am today. I had really bad acne in high school ranging from postules to l nodules and it was really hard when most of your friends had either normal to perfect skin and you're without (I would laugh whenever they freaked out about one zit when I had many lol). My mom kept suggesting Proactiv but I thought it was way too expensive. However, after seeing my sister who basically has perfect skin and my friends who only worried about ONE pimple, I finally caved in and got on the phone. I noticed an improvement within 3 weeks. By then, everything was gone. 4 years of acne gone by 3 weeks, I just couldn't believe it but it happened! My skin was (and still is) so smooth and soft! The thing about proactiv is that yes, it is a bit expensive. I pay about $45 EVERY FOUR MONTHS. In other words, they ship and bill me $45 every 4 months so I really spend a little more than $10 every month, which is still expensive, however for something this good it was worth it. The thing that bothered me was that in terms of oil control, my skin wasn't that oily prior to using it. If i remember correctly, I probably had dry skin. After Proactiv, my skin got super oily. It's still oily but that's easily manageable with some blotting sheets. But my acne is gone. I still get a minor break out every once in a while, especially in the Summer or when I'm really stressed out but it disappears quickly. I also noticed that it helped heal my scars. I have skin that bruises and scars easily so I was really impressed that my acne scars faded to the point where you would think I never had acne. The last thing I want to mention is that different people have different skin. So it would make sense that it would work for some and not for others. But it's worth giving a try. I put "moderately severe" because that's how my acne was BEFORE pr

My skin literally feels like sandpaper right now after only 4 days of use. It is extremely dry and irritated and I've bleached all of my towels. Yes, it says in the manual that you should use a white towel b/c of the bleaching, but I forgot and any person who doesn't read the fine print won't see this warning. I am SO dry and just can't bare to use this product any longer - AFTER ONLY 4 DAYS. I called and canceled my future orders immediately and it was relatively easy - but after reading these reviews, I anticipate additional charging without my knowing it. My skin is not normally sensitive so thought I would be ok with this product, but right now it even hurts when i just run water over it. I sincerely hope that my skin goes back to normal soon - walking around looking like I was dragged across a rug face-first is not a good impression. Gross.

I have adult onset acne mild ->moderate, this helps a little. But if I miss a few days acne consistantly returns. Very drying and ages my skin with overuse. But not sure if any topical acne treatment out is perfect or cures the problem of acne. I recommend this for mild acne use, but only once daily. Twice daily is drying for me.

I used the stuff for years. I have moderate stubborn acne and proactive helped to eliminate maybe half of the pimples I would have otherwise gotten. However, I believe it is reasonable for one to expect an acne fighting product to actually get rid of all (or most) of one's acne. Proactiv never succeeded in doing this for me. If you have light acne you may find some success with using this product but otherwise I cannot recommend Proactiv.

If u use it every day and get threw the adjustment time you will love your face

Give it a try .it may help you.
