does not prevent acne...
well, I had high hopes for proactiv...the cleanser itself is great...made my face feel like new, and works well at removing dirt, oil, and make-up...but combining it with the toner, and lotion, it did not prevent my breakouts..not worth the money, I've been using got2be medi-scrub (not on this site, yet) and it works just as well, and costs about $5 bucks!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Love it!
I can definitely tell when I do not use Proactiv. I have used so many other products in the past and they did nothing! I don't have a whole lot of acne, but will break out if I do not use this product. I don't use it every day...about every other just to keep things under control. I love it though!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Doesn't clean my skin
I really, really didn't like this cleanser. While I enjoyed every other product in the kit I got, this was the worst. The consistency is gritty and doesn't spread across my face at all. It rinsed off poorly, and left my skin feeling even dirtier.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Can't survive without it!
I have used Proactiv for about 10 years and am so thankful I made that initial INVESTMENT. The system helps to keep my breakouts to a bare minimum and is worth every penny spent on it!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Pro-Activ
It does eliminate acne, but its not good for the skin. This stuff made my skin really dry, red and feeling like I had a sunburn. Also, it bleaches fabric so don't dry your face with a towel after using it. This product smells bad, dries/bleaches skin... just not worth the $This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Not for me
I used this product once each night for 5 nights along with the rest of the 3-step system. I have slightly sensitive skin and it made my face very dry, red and irritated. I tried to cover the redness with make up, but it made the dry patches look terrible. I sent it back during the trial period and received a full refund.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Bleh-waste of money
Ok, so the ads for this show lots of people who have pretty bad acne changing their skin tone to beautiful non-acne skin. Nope. Not only does it not work for very long- usually only about the first few weeks, but Proactive will continue to send this to you even after you cancel and keep charging you until they feel like stopping. What a big waste of time this was.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Proactiv 3 step (cleanser, toner & lotion)
DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR ME! --- I have acne all over, some deep painful pimples along my jaw and chin. Oily skin from Spring-Fall but dry in the Winter. --- I've tried proactiv 2 different times (I used it for the full treatment or longer): once like 4 years ago and again a couple months ago just to see if it still wouldn't work...and it still didn't. --- On the upside, it didn't make my skin worse...it just didn't help it any.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

This is a relief...
I have always had rosatia. I have started using this product about 2years ago. The first time I used it, my skin was as soft as a baby's bottom. I haven't stopped using it, because it has cleared up my acne problem, and my rosatia. Than you Proactiv!!!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
