Proactiv Solution : Acne Treatment System

Let me tell you of my "experience" with the AMAZING *snorts, yeah right* Proactive. I was like many of you, I suffer from Bad Acne and I always heard about the joys of Proactive and thought "Why Not? It worked for others so it might work for me" My mom bought it and my initial thought was 'I hit the jack pot! Now I'll never suffer from acne again!' WRONG!! My face was always irritated and I had even more excessive oily skin. I had acne ALL the time using it which caused alot more blemishes. Acne made me feel like I was the most ugly person in the world and I HATED to look on my face. I was horrible around boys due to it and I never had any self confidence. It hurt to see all the other girls with flawless skin and I was stuck with horrid skin. My hopes in this product was in vain. Clearsil worked alot better than Proactive ever had! I don't know about you guys but they kept on sending me their product even though my mom only wanted it for one use, BUNCH OF CROOKS AND LIARS! I would never recommend this to any one with bad acne, my friend uses it and it works for her, then again she never suffered from bad acne to begin with :/ Stay clear guys I beg you! :(

My face got use to it. And I heard that the mask that comes with it is bad for you. Sulfur isn't good for your skin. Pretty much, it sucks. It contains what most other acne solutions contain.

It will mess up your face even more than before proactive.

scam

Proavtice dried my face!!! It turned my face red, and I should have never wasted my money on this piece of trash!! I hope the Proactive company gets sued!! I would rather use Cetaphil cream, it actually works!!

I WOULDN'T buy this product again. I got better results from Wal Mart brand facial cleaners. I personally think proactiv hired make-up artists to make these commercial people look like haunted house spooks then washed it off to reveal a face of someone without any problems to start with! It's not letting me send it as a 1 rating so if this does go thru, don't read into my rating there.

I've tried everything over the counter. Everything you could possibly buy at your local acne aisle at you local store hasn't really been as good. So before my junior year, I bought the special 1 month kit for about $35. It worked, but I applied a lot of the lotion. I stopped using it because I quickly cancelled,before my first automatic shipment, but I loved the product. Now before my senior year, I bought it on ebay and it is super cheap. A 60 day set is around $30-40 dollars if you buy it with the toner. The toner really didn't do anything amazing but it helps somewhat. I've started using proactiv again, for about three days now. and I'm only using the cleanser and the lotion. My skin is so unrecognizable. My acne is like 70-80% gone. Here's what I do: Pat water on your face. Apply a dime sized amount of the cleanser. Rub it in for about 2 minutes, but don't add anymore water. You really want the scrubby particles to really slough off the dirt. When you're done, rinse the cleanser off. Moving on, you use the toner (if you want to). Then, after that apply a quarter (not dime) of the repairing treatment in either the original 2.5% BP or the 7% BP extra strength formula on problem AREAS not spots (depends on what you buy, I tried the 2.5 my first time, now I use the 7%; Dan says it really doesn't matter), After the treatment dries you can add any light moisturizer with spf. At night I like to do the same, but I personally skip the moisturizer because I have oily skin. Again, this isn't a miracle cure, but it's pretty close to it. If this doesn't make an improvement on your skin, pretty much there's no hope for you with over the counter stuff. Sorry:( also, this isn't a permanent cure, you have to use it everyday. Let's put it this way, I'll stop using this whenever I outgrow acne. *TIP If you want to get a super deal on this, place your max. bid on ebay at the last 10 to 6 seconds of an auction not hours before. Your max. bid

This is just benzoyl peroxide with a lot of celebrity endorsement. It's also a huge scam. I called to order the $19.95 special they promote all the time. Turns out, it was actually $19.95 (x3months which they automatically billed) and then you're signed up for a subscription service where they continue to send you new kits and bill you until you call and cancel. I only used the stuff for a couple weeks and decided it was junk. I should have sent it back, but i figured it was only twenty bucks and not worth the time and money to ship. Little did I know it was not only twenty bucks, and it was only when I called after getting a surprise second shipment that I found this out. The woman on the phone who I ordered the kit from did not make any of this clear. It's designed to be confusing so that people don't realize what they're signing up for. I feel like an idiot for falling for it.

Hi u guys!~ i've been using Proactiv for a few weeks. I first used the 1st generation of Proactiv,for about 1 week. which really makes a big different, u can clearly see the acne in my left cheek has improved well. But i quit use it! WHY? it just made my eyes SOOOO TERRIBLE!! when i wake up every morning,i could feel my eyes cannot open up, so swelling and redness all over my face. At first, i think it maybe my own fault, maybe i shouldn't use the proactiv too closed to my eye area. i looked a lot of commercials about Proactiv on Youtube, that makes my heart so firmly to continue to use Proactiv AGAIN! coz i simply want to get rid of acne instantly!! Then i try to use the 2nd generation of Proactiv, well, i can feel there's a little difference between 2 generations~ in 2nd G, the cleaner doesn't have any sand any more, that is a good point. But, i just find my self doesn't fit for Proactiv, I totally feel DESPERATELY!! My face got sooo red, dryness and very uncomfortable!!! PLUS,when im using it, my chin got some new zits!!!! it just unbelievable!!! Give my HEALTHY FACE BACK!!!!!!! Do you think it's really RISK FREE???!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would not waist any money on this product! It's too expensive and did not work.
