Used Benzoyl Peroxide? Rate It:
I tried this system in my teens when surprisingly, my acne wasn't actually all that bad. My skin, in retrospect was much clearer than it has been in my 30s. I thought it worked great at the time. I think I used it about 6 months then stopped, went to college and got on with life.
Fast forward 15 years and my skin is worse than it ever was back then. I am a hispanic male, very oily skin and unfortunately scars are really noticeable and dark on my skin. I tried modifying my diet then just gave up when that wasn't working and ordered this kit again. Maybe my expectations were too high or something but this time around this product had no effect on my skin, the customer service was horrible at the cost of it just seemed more offensive, maybe because I was paying for it this time :). When I tried to cancel the subscription, they did their best to talk me out of it, and actually succeeded for a month or two while I gave it another shot. Basically just got more money out of me for their crappy product.
I was about to make this review at that time, started looking at other reviews and someone mentioned Ninja Skincare as a miracle product oh and also Laura Mercier or something like that. I hadn't heard of either before so I checked them out. After more digging, the Laura one didn't seem like a good fit for my skin type (plus it was super expensive!) so I reached out to Ninja and really was impressed with their customer service, which was so nice after my experience with Proactive. I decided to give it a shot, nothing to lose really since they offered my money back if it didn't work. And I am really happy to say it is working! After over a year of battling my skin, it is finally coming around after only 2 months with Ninja. I am thrilled and not ashamed of my skin any more.
So Proactive might not work, doesn't seem to work for many people really, but there are things that do work so don't give up!
I have mild to sometimes moderate acne and the regimen itself defintely helped clear my acne. But it left my skin mostly my cheeks extremely red and irritated. Using the regimen my skin was extremely dry even having oily skin, my skin would constantly peel off sometimes in hard clumps. It also tanned my skin unnaturally. Don't use if you have sensitive skin.
This was the ONLY product that cleared my acne!!!
now that they've changed the ingredients it does nothing for my skin!
i started using this product 3 weeks ago. just the treatment and i have seen sinificant changes though my acne keeps coming back. especially around my chin and jaw line. at least the pimples dry faster which is a good thing but i dnt know why i keep getting newer breakouts. the skin around my eyes can not stand the benzoyl. it makes it look ages older and all wrinkly. so when i apply the benzoyl, i try as much as possible to avoid areas around my eyes and neck. otherwise, am still hopeful it will work for me too and completely eliminate the jaw line acne too.
I started the Regimen a few weeks ago, and I just got a breakout on my cheek, a place I've never had anything before. I don't know if it is getting worse before better, but I am worried.
I've tried many products many brands but this is the one that I see the best results.
What are a couple of the ingredients which are no longer listed on the new formula so I know which one to purchase
Cvs has the exact old formula check it out
