I too am a Proactiv believer. I've had adult acne for years and this is the ONLY product that has cleared up my skin. In order to get the most from Proactiv you must use the 3 piece system since the individual parts (repairing lotion, toner, and renewing cleanser) aren't nearly as effective separately as they are on their own. I also LOVE their green tea moisturizer.

Same with me the Acne Free clear skin treatment worked peferfectly for me and i have been using it for almost 3 years already. I only get one or two small pimples around that time of month, but other than that its perfect.

Not true! I have extremely sensitive skin and I have been using Proactive for two years. I had a very bad case of acne and it completely cleared my skin and has kept it clear.

I love Proactiv. It's the ONLY products that have actually worked on my skin. I have tried the cheapest to the most expensive. I have used this product for over 8 years now and I absolutely love it.
