Proactiv Solution : Acne Treatment System

If you want to give your credit card information to a sleezy dishonest company please make sure u call procative. if you read more posts you will find that i am not the only person this happend to

If you have bad acne you should just see a professional doctor. Professional doctors will tell you that it is NOT good for school, why wouldn't you listen to someone that went to school for exactly what we are trying to get rid of? The price is not worth it. 40 bucks may seem affordable but its probably only for a months worth of product! MY skin actually got worse in the few months I used it. The first month was REALLY bad and people actually asked me what happened and THEY noticed my skin got worse. It got way more sensitive as well. I dont recommend this product to anyone. Go see a doctor and get rid of your acne and than you can focus on the more important stuff, like anti aging. :)

Pro Active is false advertisement!!!!

I saw all these proactiv commercials on TV and decided to try it, after one or two uses i thought to myself this really works, but then it started to dry out my skin and leave it red with a stinging pain. At first I thought it was a sun burn, but it lasted to long to be one. I just spent hours crying about how bad and dry my skin looks. It makes me look older! Not younger.

Do not waste your time, money, or patience on this company or their products. Be PROACTIVE and run - not walk away - from these products. I am in my early 30's and have very light "acne". I would break out once in a while each month but really wanted Katy Perry or Julianne Hough skin. So, I figured I would try Proactive. I might as well have taken my money, crumpled it into little balls and flushed it down my toilet. First of all, the products are worthless. I could get better results from a $3.00 bar of Cetaphil and $1.00 container of witch hazel. The cleanser was non-effective at best. The toner was worse than water alone. The "oil free" moisterizer was greasy and made my forehead look like an oil slick in the Gulf. The repairing treatment ruined my new sheets...blah blah blah...same thing everyone else says. Secondly, their customer service reps do not provide any service to their customers! I ordered the trial and then after two more payments of $29.95 I became aware that I was suppose to have received my products. Three days later I received my first and last notice from the post office saying that proactive had sent me a package, that it was forwarded from my previous address, but that I did not catch it in time and it was being returned to sender. OK...didn't really care about the package, just wanted my money back from the previous dings to my debit card. I called customer service and was made aware that as soon as they received the package back they would refund my money. That was 2 months ago. First they tried to say that I was "past the return limit of 60 days"...then they saw that I called them within the 60 days to report the package not received. Now they refuse to acknowledge that they ever received the package back and that I should have insured the package. And, to add insult to injury, they say that I OWE THEM the last payment of $29.95 - for products that I never received. RUN and don't look back!!!

Would NEVER have tried Pro-active had I known the consequences. Sad thing is, I was warned by someone else, that is still going through the hassel themselves. Every month they rcv' unwanted shipment and have to return it via mail or get charged. Oh boy, I have something to look forward to...NOT!!!

I have light/moderate acne and every now and then I get a few new whiteheads here and there. I started using proactive in middle school because I had very slight acne. In high school, I still used proactive but I would still get acne on my chin and around the nose area. Towards the end of high school and into the beginning of my college year, my acne got even worse. I even started to break out on my forehead. I don't know if proactive really did any thing for my acne because it only got progressively worse as I grew. Also after using it for so long my skin has gotten very dry even after I use the moisturizer. I recently switched my face wash to cetaphil because my skin was getting to dry from using proactive. But after using cetaphil for one month, I began to get worse breakouts then I ever got with proactive. So now I switched back to proactive. I'm still searching for a different product because I feel as though proactive really doesnt really help with my acne I never saw my skin clear up. With proactive I saw my face get better, then get worse, then get better, then get worse again. At the end of the day my acne is worse then when I started to use proactive. Also occasionally my skin would get really skin or oily.

I started using this product 2 years ago (I'm 27 now) and Proactive has really helped keep my skin clear. I think one of the reasons this works for me is because at my age my acne is on the mild side. If your acne is severe (like mine when I was a teenager) then Proactiv probably won't help you. But for adults I think you will have good results...the cleanser exfoliates very well (prevents dead skin cells from clogging pores) and the repairing lotion kills bacteria. However, I don't use the toner because that dried out my skin too much. Also, a word of caution: the cleanser DOES NOT remove makeup! If you try to wash your face with makeup still on, the cleanser exfoliating granules will just push the makeup into your pores and create a nasty breakout situation. I use Clean and Clear Makeup Dissolving Facial Cleansing Wipes (oil free) before I use the Proactiv cleanser and that really works wonders.

IT IS NOT WORTH THE RISK TO TRY!!!!

Didnt work for me at all!! :(
