my skin is very dry on my face and Proactive doesn't irritate it at all...my complexion has never been so clean!

i love proactiv. i wouldn't use anything else on my face @ night time. it's the best acne medicine out there!

This stuff works like magic. I had sooo many breakouts, pimples, zits whatever you name it and my skin has looked better than it ever has in years. I still am using it because I haven't fully finished the program and still havent losen all the zits but its great. I'm only almost 3 weeks in and already i've seen results. From what it looked like 100 zits to now only like 3 or 4 on my forehead. It's a mircale. And worth every penny.

Now, Believe me i have tried absolutely everything for my face but proactive is the only thing that works and keeps on working! With any other product it would work for a bit and then stop as if my face became immune to it. Proactive was my last resort since it is a little difficult to come by and a little pricy but i'm definitley glad I chose it!

I agree with the others that have posted - it works differently for different people. I know a few people who love it.

I personally bought the 3-piece starter kit which came with a free sample of the face mask. Initially it did clear up my skin but after about a month my acne actually started to get worse. I eventually stopped using the product because it was too rough on my skin. My skin became really dry and my acne became worse. This product was not for me. Unfortunately by the time I figured out that it didn't work it was past the 60-day money back policy, maybe into the 3rd or 4th month. I would've liked my money back but I also didn't push it.

I would suggest trying it if you're going through cleansers because I know it does work for some people. Getting a cleanser, toner and lotion for that price isn't too bad. I think you just have to give it a try and see if it works for you.

I don't have terrible skin, but I have a few pimples that show up, as I have combination skin.
I bought this a few years ago and found it very harsh. The smell is okay, but the active ingredients were very strong. I used the entire line once in the morning and once in the evening.

My skin was dried out after second time. I had a terrible break out after I used it and had to see a skin specialist because an entire layer of skin was peeling on a daily basis. It took me 3 weeks to stop the skin from peeling on a daily basis and 2 months to bring my skin back to (an almost) normal state.

It works for a couple of people I know, it didn't change the appearance of one other friend and when I got my hands on it, my skin went the opposite direction. I actually had full on acne for two months. I was very insecure about going out for two months. It was brutal... be careful with this product. I wasn't allergic, because I use their active ingredients in my other products, but it had a high percentage of it in Proactive.

If you buy it, use it once every 2-3 days to see if it's too strong for your skin or find something that doesn't have as much benzoyl peroxide first.

so the only reason I have given this product a low rating and i dont recomend it is because I'm specifically reaching out to those who have super dry skin/sensitive skin and it's really really bad for your skin if your a fair skinned red head such as myself. I only used the stuff once a day if that and it totally burned my face and dried it out soo bad, so after spending $65 on the proactive solution i spent another $40 on the proactive green tea moisturizer, which don't get me wrong smells amazing and is a pretty good moisturizer, but only when your not using the poractive solution. I've heard that the stuff works wonders, but for those with really sensitve skin, I do not advise it at all.

I have been using Proactiv for 8 years and I do not see the day when I will stop. Having suffered from acne since I was 12, having gone through the series of antibiotics and done the Accutane treatment, Proactive is the product that got me off all that 8 years ago. Honestly, for what this is worth, the price is unbelievably low. I always make sure that I have a bottle of cleanser in stock (I do not need the toner and the clarifying lotion much). I have recommended it to several of my friends, none of which have been disappointed.

From my experience with Proactive it worked really well. I have oily skin and felt that it really helps keep my skin clear and clean. I think that the price is worth it. Proactive last me an extremely long time. Warning though, I heard that it didn't work for other people. One important note, make sure that you wear sunscreen after using this product. But I wear sunscreen everyday anyways so there isn't a change to my routine.

This stuff works pretty much as well as the infomercials say... for me at least. I don't have much cash though and I found myself being really stingy with the product to make it last, so I don't think I got the full benefits. If you have the money, its well worth it, but if you're poor(er) you might want to reexamine your priorities (other, cheaper acne products work, just not as well).
