I love proactiv, I hate that it takes so long to use and I literally cannot go one day without using it or my face breaks out. Weird, I'm scared to stop. I do love my skin since I started using it, however.
Maybe for some people it works, but I didn't see any positive results. I was told that it would be very useful for me to use because I have very oily skin, so it wont be as drying as it is on most people. WRONG! I think it sucked out over single little micro-drop of oil out of my skin. My skin was peeling and flaking for weeks!! I couldn't even use any makeup because that made the dry skin stand out even more. It was even painful in a way (felt like I had a slight sunburn). I returned it back to the store.
I have had decent skin until last summer when I decided to try a new product which sent my skin into a constant breakout maybe it was a change in hormones coninsidentally at the same time as I have not been able to clear this problem up a year later. I have see people have tremendous results with this product so I decided to give it a shot, it's a cleanser with an exfoliator in it then you tone and then a repairing lotion, this product dried out my skin however did not diminish my blemishes after using this product for a few months I had to consult with my physician and get a pwrsciption.
In short I guess since its not too expensive and ou have a mild case of acne then it's worth a shot however I suggest buying it from a booth at the mall otherwise you will keep receiving it in the mail and end up with a few month supply.
I tried proactive after coming off Acutane to maintain my clear skin (I would not recommend Acutane, I actually think it was discontinued).
While it cleared up my skin for the most part, it dried it out more than I'm comfortable with. It's been really hard for me to find a solution for clear skin because of how sensitive my skin typically is. I thought that with their mass marketing programs and before and after stories, ProActiv would work for me as they claim to be 'Gentle'.
I don't recommend ProActiv if you're skin is typically sensitive or dry - the tightness and flakiness of your skin afterwards is really uncomfortable!!
I got the Proactiv kit because of all of the hype that surrounded it and I would have to say that I have seen some improvement in my skin but overall I think this is just another product that may or may not work for you. I also found the entire process to be cumbersome since the product is most effective when all three steps are used together.
Horrible! I don't even have acne and the few minor breakouts I get weren't affected at all by proactive! I was told that I just needed to stick with the regime but I used up my proactive products and honestly saw no difference. It's a total rip off. The only thing I would recommend is the proactive spot treatment. That really helped, even though it was kind of stinky. I didn't even bother with that after the little bottle finished though. Other products work just as well. Not sure why proactive has such a wonderful reputation.
i had tried this before..it burned my face and made it 10x worse i was told by my doctor to get rid of the product,,,
i seen a comercial that they updated their products i decided to try again and my face didnt burn but it just didnt work at all i used as directed and nothing changed!!!
I tried proactiv for over a year and it was going good then i stopped using it and realized the whole year my face was completly red some people may have good luck with it more power to you i went back to my oil of olay
So I know a lot of people have had success with this, but I have not!
Dono if theres something wrong with my face, lol but this did zero for my zits. I dont have the worst acne at all, I have ones that come and go and it did nothing for any of those lil friends.
I did as it said, used all products it provided and even kept doing it for a couple months just wasting my money away, nothing!
So no, I do not recommend.
I have tried Proactiv twice now and I found that it did not work well for me. It didn't clear up my acne and after I stopped using it my face broke out worse then ever. I will not use Proactiv ever again.
