PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
im not going to bash any of these products whatsoever because clearly it worked for millions of people; but from my personal experience i believe it caused excma on my face after less than a week of using, maybe because my skin may be sensitive. although i don't recommend the treatment nor moisturizer, i do stronly recommend the cleanser.

Not great for sensitive skin
Found this rather harsh for my skin. Lots of redness and flaking!

Not great
I've been using acnecide overnight for 3 weeks today and I don't notice much of a difference, my spots look the same in the morning as they do the night before and I've also been documenting daily photos of my skin and don't see much of a difference. I would like a treatment that works rapidly to kill my spots/acne and help me get clear skin but In the past few days I've seemed to get more spots on my forehead:( any suggestions? Best of luck to you all

Sorry that your no having much luck. Every skin is different so not every product is going to work on everyone. I would recommend you trying T-zone skin clearing face moisturiser.

Ineffective
A year ago I tried this product and it seemed trust worthy , with all the commercials I seen and positive reviews . Well I would say I have mild acne , once I started to use the product I didn't even see a slight difference until months later . It wasn't anything that was life changing that made my skin look great but my skin cleared a little bit . About a month later I decided to stop using proactive because it did nothing to change my skin at all , once I did my acne started to get worse back to the way it used to be . And I would always use other face washes , and nothing seemed to help . So from using proactive I'd say since I stopped using it it made my skin worse than it already was .

Not for me
I have cystic acne and very sensitive skin. This product was not for me. It irritated my skin and made me break out for a few days. I like how it made my skin feel after washing though. Just wasn't a good fit for my skin problems.

Hyperpigmentation
I used the system about 3 months last year and got very smooth skin but extereme discoloration. I got dark eye bags, darkened acne marks, every little indentation or elevation on my faces looked very different from the skin around it. I felt like a monster...but with smooth skin. I quit using the system. Weekly glycolic acid perls, noxema, and fade cream are working for me now. I wish I could upload a pic. I know the maker says it doesn't cause hyperpigmentation but for me it did

Didn't work
Was excited to try this after all the great reviews. I had moderate acne and sadly it didn't touch it. Different things work for different people I suppose, not for me though ☹ï¸

Swelling?
I started using the treatment on my face on the first day at night and when I woke up my eyes were swollen and irritated and very dry. The rest of my face is fine it's just my eyes are very puffy and red all around the area. Should I stop using the product or keep doing it?

Happened to me but i stuck it out. I've been on the regimen for 3 years now and it was an uphill in the beginning. I can't remember exactly but it definitely took me some time to get use to it before my eyes finally normalized. Hope this helps.
