It made my skin really soft, but it dried my skin even though I was using mosturizer! I thought it was a waste of money so I stopped using it.

I have it, and i have veryyy oily skin. It helped a ton with that! I used it every night for a week and it was amazing. But when i stopped using it for even a couple of days, i'd break out like crazy.

Ok well your skin has a ph balance of about 3 but proactive has a ph of 8 so it messes up your skins natural balance. Ur skin gets overwhelmed when u use it then just stop using it. If ur looking for healthiest for skin use natural things u can make from simple things in the kitchen not a $35 dollar bottle of junk

I used it once but after i stopped i got terrible break outs so i changed to exposed my skin has cleared since then and they have this clear pore serum that visibly diminishes pimples overnight its great! I recommend trying it.

I've found that it works really well! If you decide to use it for a very long time, then I would buy a whole set from clean and clear or something, and 1 every couple days use that. It's good to do this because it'll shock your skin; if you use proactive for to long, your skin will get use to it.

I was thinking of trying proactive out, but you guys obviously don't recommend it.

2.5% benzoyl peroxide will help.. Look at Wayne Gs video The Acne cure Program video

I agree with Sami, I think the best idea is to get an opinion from a dermatologist. I used proactiv for a while but it never helped me very much, I have combination skin and it tended to make it very dry so I would have to compensate with a lot of moisturizer.

it works differently for each person since we all have different skin, but it did do a little something for me :) it did make my skin burn at first since I have sensitive skin on my face but then I guess I got used to it. and it also did help clear up blemishes and help with break outs. the only bad thing about it that I have to say, which isnt even that bad, is that I used to have really oily skin and now it's reeeally dry, I can not go with out moisturizing or my skin will flake.

Don't Do It!! Using Pro Active for a short time left permanent pigmentation problems on my skin. I have a small patch of skin on my cheek bone that was bleached lighter due to pro active. Go to the spa for pixel treatments and see a dermatologist. If your acne is on your jaw line- that is hormonal and no topical product will help.
