I use it and I think it's amazing and now if you have sensitive skin they have a formula for that and one that is for those who need more of the benzoyl peroxide. The mask is amazing and to keep your skin from getting dry get the green tea moisturizer it's light weight and non greasy and won't clog up your pores.
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 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 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.
