This stuff does nothing for acne which is ridiculous considering the price that it is.
I love the proactive solution kit! The spot treatment always calms my breakouts and I use the toner everyday and I love how the cleanser also is exfoliating
Takes a lot of time to use, like 30 minutes, and who has that kind of time before bed, it's super expensive, and all it does is dry my skin right out, which leaves dead skin clogging my pores, which causes more breakouts. Just save yourself some time and go buy spectrol or clean and clear.
I tried this once because of all those annoying commercials. I figured why not. It burned and dried my face up. I sent it back. Not worth the hype.
I used this system for about 2 years. When I first started using it my skin became dry and red so I cut back to using it every other day as instructed and that helped. The Benzoyl Peroxide can be harsh on sensitive skin at first. Once I was able to use it every day I saw a huge improvement, in about 2-3 weeks my skin was much clearer than it had ever been. It can bleach towels and clothing as the warnings state. After the two years I just found that my skin became tolerant to it and it wasn't working anymore, it can also be costly so I stopped using it. I do think it is worth a shot if you are considering this system.
I recently tried some samples for Proactive because I was having some menopausal breakouts. I couldn't believe how well it worked. My pores looked less noticeable and my blemishes were minimized. My face looked so radiant and no redness. I was amazed at how well Proactive worked on my menopausal acne.
It was decent, it wasn't amazing. I found it was too many steps in my daily routine for me to actually make it part of my daily routine. I found myself dreading washing my face.
Sure this product ca work for some people but.. its bleached my skin, my towels, worked then stopped working... i wouldnt waste my money on it.
I used Proactiv back in high school, at the time my skin was full of breakouts to the point I gave myself bangs to hide the blemishes. Proactiv caused my skin to breakout even more once I started using it, but after sticking to it and using it as required my skin started to clear up within a few weeks. Now my skin is completely clear with the odd breakout now and then. I recommend this product just be advised that it could make it worse before it gets better, but it works.
My parents bought this for me back in the sixth grade when my acne was really bad. The ingredients lists bleaching products (which is why when I bought it they said to make sure it doesn't touch any of your clothing). It dried my skin out horribly and you can find WAY better products with better ingredients in it. It was way too gimmicky.
