It does work
11/15/2006 - Elena of California, USA writes:
I buy this product for my 14 year old son. It works. He does breakout but it is expected for his age. The product helps keep his break out under control by 95%.
Amazing!

I started purchasing Proactive several years ago when my daughters were in their teens and it worked great for them. One of my daughters has sensitive skin and can only use it every other day but it still helps her blemishes. I'm in my 40's have occasional clogged pores and "zits" and it works for me too. I don't need use it daily but I can usually see a difference only after one use. My daughters gave a box to a friend who had severe acne and even large cysts on her face and Proactive cleared her face up. It is amazing.
Keep It Up

This product does work really well at first I thought it wasn't working because I started to breakout worse than I ever had. But I kept using it and finally my skin calm down and I was acne free. If you stop for just a couple of days you will experience your acne problems again. It is pretty expensive I have been using another product called acne-free it works just as well, good bye acne!!!
Very Good

Outstanding product. I am a nonbeliever especially infomercials. Started getting acne in my 30's and could not handle it seeing that I had beautiful skin before. My friend reccomended but did not buy into it because my acne was minimal. Then acne got bad. I went to see three dermatologists. NO HELP. Skeptical but loving that I can get my money back I tried proactiv. Two years and I am still using it. Shippment is miserable and with no cure for acne when not using proactiv my acne returns one or two. You have to be consistent. Still get one or two but my skin is beautiful. I use a good moisturizer, Bobbi Brown's "Hope In A Jar," At first my skin peeled so bad and looked terrible but after some weeks I beamed. Good product, take it from a skeptic. The only informercial product I ever purchased. I believe its probably the best working product for Gutty-Raynker.
Works great!

This product works extremely well for me and has done so for almost 15 years now. I did try other (cheaper) products about 5 years ago to see if I could find an inexpensive product with the same performance but there is no such thing. I tried everything on the market I could find including the cheap knock offs but none worked at all. I went back to Proactiv and now people are commenting how great my skin looks and I look younger than I did 5 years ago went i went off Proactive. Tips: Use the entire kit and use it exactly as directly. This is the most important tip I can pass along. I tried "saving" money by by skipping various steps over a period of a year, the result was that the Proactiv treatment appeared to not work. When I went back to using it as directed it worked without problem and my skin looked great again.
Horrible

This product worked great right up until the 90 days and then it broke my skin out and I couldn't even take it back! It caused my forehead to over produce oil and it now has a big rash all over it that I am having a hard time getting rid of. I didn't even have acne before using this product. I just wanted something to make my skin glow more. This has been a horrible experience.
Did not work for me
9/27/2006 - Laura of Ohio, USA writes:
I tried ProActive when it first came out. I even signed up for their monthly program. It does not work at all. I had mild acne as a result of going off birth control pills and hormone changes.Retin-A worked MUCH better. I followed the directions exactly and there was no difference in my skin. I still have a few bottles of the toner left and I do use that but I cancelled the program a long time ago. It's not worth the money. And I am sure now that more celebrities are endorsing it-the popularity will increase.
Doesnt Work!!
9/15/2006 - Amber of British Columbia, Canada writes:
I tried this product for 2 months. It not only does not work it made my face worse. I am so upset by this because they make it seem like such a great product, and no my face really hurts.
Not so effective
9/8/2006 - Jill of Iowa, USA writes:
I used this product exactly as directed and saw no improvement. I purchased a generic kit from [] for less than half the price, and it worked like a miracle. Proactive....nope
Worked for me
9/3/2006 - Keyana of Mississippi, USA writes:
After seeing the informercials for years, I finally saw that Proactiv was being sold in the mall and decided to try it. My skin cleared up within DAYS. Now I get compliments on my skin! I'm very happy that I tried Proactiv because now I don't have to waste time trying other products.
Bad for skin and towels
8/27/2006 - Betty of Pennsylvania, USA writes:
My daughter and I both tried this producted it worked form my daughter but not for me. The packaging should also state in LARGER letters that it can bleach out colored towels, face cloths, and hair. In the end it was a very expensive system for my daughter and I and our linen closet inventory.
Finally - a product that follows through
8/27/2006 - Lina of Ontario, Canada writes:
I started using pro-active about 4 years ago after watching the info-mercaisl for years. I finally ordered it and have been uisng it ever since. I'm 39 and have struggled all of my adult life with acne. This product not only works, it feels great and smells great!!! My skin is never dry and always feels fantastic. I would definitely recommend Pro-active to my daughters if they too struggle with acne. Hopefully, they will never have to endure what I did!!!
The only thing that worked great for 20-30's girls
8/26/2006 - Tammy of British Columbia, Canada writes:
Proactive was awesome, it was the only thing that worked and even worked long after I stopped using it! It first brought out all my pimples then after it cleared the underlying junk my skin became so clear and soft! You have to use it as indicated and keep using it there will be some adjustment phase(dry skin, itching, more zits) then it will clear up and presto...clear beautiful skin. I refer my friends to it and it cleared their skin and they loved it too!!! I have to say we have mild to moderate acne (breakout everymonth type of thing) so this is how it worked for our type of acne, I cannot comment on severe cases of acne as I do not know if it would work for you then. But if you are 20-30 something and still getting that monthly breakout this is the product for you!!!
rash!!!!! and iching
8/24/2006 - Tina of Minnesota, USA writes:
I am not really impressed! I have only been using this product for 4 days and I ich like crazy and I am getting a horrible rash on my face and forehead! My sister encouraged me to try this because i have to take prednisone and Pentasa for my Chrons but my skin is very sensitive in the first place. I can not recommend this product!
i have to say it works
8/19/2006 - Beth of Texas, USA writes:
I'd always rolled my eyes at this stuff and figured people had 'bought into' something that other products could do. My mom gave me some to try while i was visiting her and within 2-3 days I noticed the biggest difference! I came home and ordered it right away. My problem was blackheads and never assumed anything would fix *that*. Proactiv does. Give it a try. My face has been fresher, clearer, with less 'bumps', fewer blackheads and an overall glow that i've never, ever received with any other product i've tried. Nothing is a miracle cream, but this is the closest I've tried.
The ONLY thing that works.

This was given to me as a gift by my manager and it cleared my skin within one week. I had adult acne and low self confidence because my work causes me to have to interact with the public on a daily basis. It used to be a habit of mine to keep my hands on my fact to cover my acne. Even my children would point out "Mommy's bumps." It was like a part of who I was and I hated it. No more. I love this product. My self esteem is back, I'm smiling more, dressing nicer, wearing earrings and perfume; everything that a woman should do. I don't work over the summer, so when I called to cancel my auto-ship, customer service offered to put a hold on my auto-ship until I started working again in September. My daughter uses it too and loves her clear skin. For a pre-teen, that means a lot!
try again
8/15/2006 - Starr of California, USA writes:
it was givin to me by my aunt, it didn't work for her; she thought maybe because she was older. knowing that i had minor acne she'd ask if i wanted to give it a try no results were produced. doesn't mean you shouldn't try it for yourself
It is a Great Product when used correctly
8/11/2006 - Vicki of Michigan, USA writes:
I saw the infomecial on this product over 6 years ago. I have been dealing with blemishes all of my life. I am in my 50's and still break out unless I use it faithfully. I introduced it to my daughter when in high school. I worked for her beautifully as well. She pointed out to me that she couldn't skip using it at night before bed or she would have break outs again. What people need to do is experiment with the three step product to see what adjustments they might need to make to make it work for them. Especially those with sensitive skin or those who have a problem with over drying. Contact customer care at Proacive Solution for suggestions. The nice thing about ordering it is they have the bottom of the bottle return policy if not satisfied with it. You have nothing to loose other then the cost of the shipping.
Bought it for my daughter
7/31/2006 - Dennis of Texas, USA writes:
My daughter begged me to buy this for her. I figured it was pricey but if it helped her it was worth it. Unfortunately it failed miserably. It dried her skin and the acne was worse than it was originally. I then paid $5.00 for Persagel and her skin now looks great.
Best Blemish Product Ever Tried!
7/29/2006 - Anonymous of Virginia, USA writes:
I go back to this product any time I have an issue with blemishes...because it works...every time! I am not super oily/acne-prone so after a while it does tend to over-dry my skin. Works so great for me, both of my nieces have used it with great success. I would recommend Proactiv Solution to anyone with blemish issues who wants immediate results. I have found, however, that the products work best when used together as a system...don't get the same results when used separately or with other products.
