Does proactive really work?? I was thinking about ordering some but I want to know what it is like before I purchase it...

I does work but I just didn't like the fact that it makes you break out before actually clearing up your skin and it dries up your skin too!

I personally did not like it. I'm not a fan of their formulation. The cleanser & repairing lotion both use %2.5 Benzoyl Peroxide which is not strong at all. It will help combat light acne, but will probably have mediocre results or non at all if you have moderate to severe acne.
Benzoyl Peroxide is an ingredient that takes the skin a while to get used to. Unless you know how your skin reacts to BP, I highly suggest buying an over the counter Benzoyl Peroxide product instead of spending 20-something bucks on something that you're not entirely sure how you skin might react.

It's okay, but after a while your skin adapts to the chemicals and it starts not to work! burns your face for the first week! try going to the dermatologist! muuuch better options!:)

Completely strips your skin. Most cases that I have seen and heard of are that it causes the acne to become much worse because the skin starts to overcompensate the dryness by producing excessive oils. and bleaches all your towels and clothes. Unless they changed that part.

It didn't work for me at all. It did work for friend of mine though. What doea work for me is burts bees acne facewash. And say yes to tomatoes acne spot treatment. Both items cost $10 each and are available at Walmart, target etc.

Do noooot get Proactive!
Sadly..it is a waste of your money and your time:/
I went to a Dr. and got a perscription for Adapalene gel and you just use a dab and it clears your face in days.
Either way, good luck and I hope you find something that works:)

I tried it when I was younger and first started getting acne, and it was really bad. My skin got so dry that it would crack like a burn, and it made the acne much worse. Granted, that was years ago and the formula may have changed, but I would much rather spend my $20 as a copay at my dermatologist and get a prescription that works than throw it down the drain on something advertised on TV.

I don't really know about that but my friend uses something you can pick up at Walmart or any drug store in the United States it's affordable to.

For acne, use acne.org products! Check YouTube reviews about it.

I tried it and it didn't work on me at all so I stopped and tried other products. Eventually I went back to proactive but I got the extra strength stuff and now it works like a charm. The only negative thing is that it really dried my skin so I had to get a super good moisturizer.

It works good while your using it, the reason it's such a rich company is the formula only cures acne while you use it. As soon as you stop those zits are going to come back with a vengeance. I'd see a dermatologist, they an formulate a product specifically for your needs.

It works but makes your face super sensitive when you stop using it you'll break out worse. Don't do it.

It broke me out and dried my skin out so bad it hurt, even using their moisturizer. Definitely a no. Oh, and I tried letting it "get worse before it gets better" but after 3 months I had to change it. Tru something else!

It made my mom's skin really dry!! Not to mention, it did next to nothing for her acne. Instead I would recommend clean & clear or the body shop's tea tree oil line! :)

I agree. if you have acne go and see a dermatologist. There is different treatments depending on how severe your acne is there are different treatments for you but I recommend to see a dermatologist so that they can help you find the right treatment for you. I also tried proactive and all I have to say is that I'm not impressed!
