I have very oily skin and a few blemishes, I've tried everything to get rid of the oil, will proactive help with that and at the same time remove my blemishes?
I got some from this machine at the mall before and i have combo skin and it made it kinda dry but a lot smoother, i still got acne but really would go away faster. I stopped buying it but im still using the mask thing once a week
I'm still using it now. I used it a little when I was in high school and it worked wonders, and then I stopped. After I stopped by skin went down hill. I started using it again last month, and I love it. Works wonders for me. I have oily skin and a few blemishes like you.
I used to have it and I NEED to get it back ! I have oily/combination skin , and I remeber I had so many blemishes on my forehead , and they were all gone after a week of using proactive :) for me , it was great !
The original formula worked for me. Then I stopped using it, and my skin is worse now than before. I got the new formula. It works when I want to clear up a break out, but using it everyday was too harsh on my skin.
noo please don't use that stuff on your face once you stop using it or you run out trust me the acne only comes back worse don't do it i think its so bad
if you want to cure your acne use noxzema
I tried it for a few weeks but it made my skin feel like it always had a layer of plastic over it, then after a while it seemed to just make me break out more! I've been drinking more water than usual lately and it helps a lot! But I would definitely go to a dermatologist for some answers!

I used it for a year and it was aweful! If you have sensitive skin it's a waste of money

It didn't work well for me. Your best bet is to go to a dermatologist. My face is so clear now!

It worked well for me, but u can find drugstore options that have the same ingredients.

No!! It will give you bad scarring, their products are very strong and in high concentrate, does not fulfill what it shows on tv!

Proactive is bad really. It makes your skin addictive to it. So once you stop using it, it'll be twice as bad as it was.

Very drying and strips your skin of natural oils. If you can, get a clarisonic. They work wonders.

Didn't do anything for my acne. It just made my face super dry and tight which I never had a problem with before.
