It works, but works better/quicker on certain people.

I suggest you don't use it! Rather than spending so much money on proactive just go to the dermatologist because proactive is sometimes harsh for your skin like it was for my skin. So it might make it worse so I just suggest you go to the dermatologist because they can actually help your skin.

I didn't like it personally. Depends on your skin. I have combination skin, dry on my cheeks and chin and oily in my t-zone.

I use Retin-A gel. I use it sparingly, like 2 times a week because.05% is strong and makes me peel. Good stuff to get on, but takes a commitment.

I have not used it personally because my dermatologist said that its good at first but then your skin starts to get used to it to the point that once you stop using it, you break out pretty bad. Like I said I haven't personally used it but I've heard that in the long run its not the best for your skin.

No... I hate it... It's tedious. That product only works if you follow the procedure constantly. Frankly, if you have a hectic schedule and/ or have a life it's best to use another product. I suggest Lemon it's not expensive, it's natural & it probably works better.

I tried it and hated it! It broke me out so bad! So I went to a dermatologist and was put on accutain (Hope that's how you spell it haha :P) and it did wonders for my skin. So my advice is don't!!

It really depends on your skin type. I didnt like it because I have sensitive, and oily to combination skin. It kind of burned my skin and didnt help acne.

It made my acne worse. Ended up getting acne scars after using it.

I didn't like it at all. I felt that because I'm always busy I had no time to use all the products and even when I did it didn't even work.

Also maintain a healthy diet. Helps too! Never tried proactive. Tea tree oil is good for pimples.

Dabbing vinegar on yr acne really helps. it may smell horrible but find a way to plug yr nose. leave on for about 3 minutes then wash off with soap n water. it reduced th number of breakouts I've gotten

And it's about 95% cheaper too

It have me the worst dry skin ever! I've been washing my face with baby soap every night and now I have the best skin ever (baby magic)

It worked for me. I'm not going to lie, but my face got worse before it got better. It cleared my acne right up.

I found when my skin was ajusting to the new routine it got dry but it has helped my skin tremendously I don't find the routine too long because my older routine used to be wash, tone, acne medication, moisturize...I really like it and would suggest it...just use a little less of the wash and more of the repairing treatment (3) for the first little bit.

Oh and it will take some time...but stick with it...and invest in a good moisturizer :)
