Made my skin worse

This product literally felt like fire on my face. I'm not allergic to it, it's just very strong and on sensitive skin it felt like it's burning and made me red for about 30 minutes. It dried my skin out after 3 days of using it. Your skin will get used to this product after a week of of use, but because of the strength, it is recommended for moderate to severe acne. This product did work initially, it cleared up my light breakouts despite the burning, but then it dried out my skin to the point of peeling and the breakouts started again. You will need a very strong moisturizer to prevent the dry skin clogging up your pores and making it worse. If you don't have severe acne, try a milder product as this will do more damage than good. For the price it comes at, and the fact that it is recommended you use this lotion with the toner and cleanser from the same brand, you might as well get prescription medication from a dermatologist that will be more suited for you.

The price is quite steep for the overall effectiveness, almost as steep as the claims in their TV ads.

I bought the Proactive regime with great expectations. It actually did seem like it was working in the beginning. However all it seemed to do is dry out my skin which lead to more acne in the following weeks.

I visited my dermatologist and she recommended I use cetaphil. For less than the price of Proactive I now use cetaphil, which maintains your skins balance and works wonders.

I have been acne free for 6 months now!

Do not believe the commercials, it does not work! If anything my acne got worse while I was using it. I was told by constumer services that it was normal that your acne would increase at the beginning, but that it was going to clear up after a month. It didn't! I used it for 2 months and finally gave up. Waste of my money!
