I used to use proactiv and I am glad I can write a review about it. I used proactive at two different stages in my life...Teenager and Young adult. Skin changes throughout the years so I thought after using it as a teenager and it bleaching all of the towels/washcloths in my house and only making my skin SO dry that I had to stop using it, I'd give it another go around. I thought maybe at least 5-6 years later they would have changed the formula after many "dry" reviews, but that didn't seem to be the case. They did make a moisturizer to come in the kit now, but even so the products died my face out so badly. I even went for a facial at a very reputable salon and they asked what products I used and when I told them proactive they were so shocked and told me to stop immediately! If skin care professionals are advising against the use of proactive, I for one will never use this product again!

I bought this kit because of all the advertising...it dried out my face, bleached out my towels and didn't work!

A few years back I had purchased Proactive, I was more then excited to try it out. I started my daily routine, then I noticed how my skin became sore, and itchy. I was using it for my face, neck and chest. I almost clawed my chest neck and jawline raw from this product. I thought I may be using it too much (2 times a day), so I cut back to once per day, same there. I also tried each one of the products alone for a day or two at a time and continued to have the issue. When I contacted the company they insisted it was not from their product. I was very unhappy the product made my breaks worse and caused such issues.

I don't have a real problem with acne it is usually just the odd zit or two but I ran into a phase where my skin was just angry! I decided to try the proactive and it cost me 100$ at the mall. After trying it out it really didn't make much of a difference for me than the much cheaper facial cleansers did.

Would not recommend this at all. Used it for close to 2 months and made my skin much worse. Extremely harsh for those with sensitive skin.

Perhaps it works for others, but this just exasperated my issues in a terrible way.

I have acne prone skin and when the proactive commercial came on I was hooked I called my mom in and begged for her to buy. I was in need of a new skin care regime and one that actually would work. I finally got it so happy , after a week a noticed an improvement and then another week came and so did my skin look good not great until my skin began to dry up that caused flakes all around my jaw line and cheeks. Never did I go back to it or their other products. I couldn't believe what chemicals were in these products I guess I wasn't one of those lucky people who turned out to have beautiful skin afterwords.

There are big infomercials for this product, which has been around a long time. Maybe it works great for others, but I have found it to be acceptable at best. Based on my experience, this product over-promises and under-delivers., It doesn't perform significantly better than any other skin care regime I have tried. In fact, many other products worked better.

Therefore, this is not a product I'd recommend or suggest. There are better and less expensive alternatives.

No, never will buy this again. Didn't do at all what the commercials says it does after using it for 3 months. over priced if you ask me.

Only product that has worked for me. Bit rough on sensitive skin at first but worked well for me. Customer service via email was horrible

I bought this product and was very unsatisfied. Left me with more acne then I originally had. You cant just stop using this product as it will leave you right back where you started ;( Never will use this again.
