Works for me, but is kind of like flipping a coin between Clear Skin or Not July 27, 2010
S. Coleman (Dallas, TX USA)
Though Proactiv Solution works pretty well for me, I have never seen a product vary so drastically from one user to another. I started getting terrible acne in the 9th grade, and it had a major effect on my confidence. People would stare at my zits--and not into my eyes--whenever we were having a conversation, and my 10th grade history teacher even held me back at the end of class specifically to recommend a skin care product that she had ordered from Avon. If that were not embarrassing enough, my acne reached a peak during my senior year of high school--the primetime of every young woman's life. Every inch of my cheeks was covered in bright red, pus-filled pimples. It was so terrible that some people looked disgusted to even stand near me, and I had to wear a TON of concealer for my senior photos--which only exacerbated the problem as soon as picture day was over. After my high school graduation, I started spending a lot of time out at the pool, and (despite what the experts say), the sun drastically improved my skin. My face turned really red one day when I forgot the sunblock, and the next day, all of the zits were gone. However, when the summer ended and I went to college in the fall, the zits came back. It was then that I decided that I need something stronger than an over-the-counter medicine to deal with my skin. After watching a commercial for Proactiv Solution, I ordered it over the phone on a whim. The first few weeks didn't give me any results, but after a about a month, the product worked to its full potential. I have been using it for almost two years now, and I am very happy with my decision to purchase it. Though it has not provided the magical results that are showcased in every commercial (I still get a couple of pimples every couple of weeks, my face is not the horrible red mask that it once was. Unlike some reviewers reported, the product does not dry my face out at all, and I haven't experienced any redness. The most redeeming product of the entire system is the toner. Though it does not smell very potent, it succeeded in removing from my hands and forearms a botched application of self-tanning lotion that almost a week of constant scrubbing did nothing to help. For me, this is very good stuff. Unfortunately, as I stated, this product varies so widely from customer to customer that it is hard to determine the effectiveness of its use. In my circle of friends, three girls (myself included) are using Proactiv. My skin reacted very nicely to the product, but the other two weren't as lucky. One of the girls had mild acne and experienced no change in her condition. Another girl had moderate acne and experienced such severe burning and redness of the skin that she discontinued usage and even voluntary went through the seven levels of Hell (also known as Proactiv Customer Service) to get a refund.

Overall, here are my basic recommendations for those considering using Proactiv:

1.) Since results vary so widely between each user, buy the smallest amount of the product that is available. That way, if it does not match your particular needs, you are not out an arm and a leg on something totally useless

2.) Beware of the freebies/extras. The basic three step Proactiv system and the Daily Oil Control lotion work wonders (compared to the "before" situation), but the other items in the Proactiv line were actually pretty damaging. As a "free gift", I received a tube of the Refining Mask. I applied it according to the directions, but approximately twenty minutes after I removed it, my face was covered in large red, itchy blotches. I immediately threw the tube in the garbage, and by the time I resumed using my regular system the next day, the spots were gone. So, if you get extras in the mail, proceed with caution.

3.) DO NOT, under any circumstances, tell the representative that you want a free month's supply VitaClear Vitamins with your purchase. First of all, the vitamins are disgusting. VitaClear comes in a box with thirty individually wrapped packets of 5 vitamins. After taking that first packet of five vitamins one morning, I had to make a run to the restroom to vomit. The next day, I had didn't throw up, but I did a second time after using the vitamins a few days later. Though I followed the direction to eat before usage, no matter how much or how little I ate, I would puke at least twice a week. If this is not enough, as soon as you agree to accept a free order, you (unknowingly) sign yourself up to receive auto-shipments of Vitaclear every two months--which means that your credit card will automatically be charged $29.99 every six or weeks. I have no idea how to cancel an account with VitaClear (which is sold by a different company than Proactiv). The only reason I stopped receiving shipments was because I changed addresses and my credit card just happened to expire that same month. So, if you like swallowing five vitamins each day that will make you puke, feel free to sign up for auto shipments of a product that is impossible to cancel.

4.) As I mentioned previously, Customer Service is Hell (according to the people I know who have tried to cancel). If you want to cancel your account, you have to locate the customer service number from the website or from your previous bill. Proactiv does not allow easy online cancellations or (to my knowledge) mail-in requests to cancel. Then, when you call a representative and mention that you want to cancel your account, you are mysteriously put on hold for an indefinite amount of time--though they jump at the chance to talk to you if you are willing to order Proactiv. If you are not put on hold, the reps will talk in circles and try to convince you to order more products. One of my friends who successfully canceled her account recommended setting up a web count on the Proactiv site, going to the help feature, and then emailing a representative with the question "How do I cancel my account?" A rep contacted her by email a few days later, asked for her account number, and subsequently canceled the account. I recommend following this procedure or continue to receive the automatic shipments each month.
Overall, this product worked for me, but it will not work for everyone. It is kind of like spinning the Wheel of Fortune or flipping a coin...only this time, instead of head and tails, the sides are "Clear Skin" and "Not".

Temporarily Great July 20, 2010

I used this product off and on just about every year for a few months each time until I finally came to my senses. The first few months it did in fact get rid of my pimples and did leave my face feeling cleaner, smoother and softer. However, consistently over the years after about 5 months of using this product every day, I would then get some very deep and painful cystic acne. These cystic boils I got after 5 months of proactive were usually some of the largest I've ever had. And the hyper-pigmentation redness left over took typically over a year or two to go away completely.

I read up about how these Benzoyl peroxide treatments ruin the ph balance of your skin and once your skin gets used to it, the bacteria just buries itself deeper into the surface where the BP can't reach it, causing deep cystic pimples/boils.

I have tried a number of different non-BP acne skin care systems. None of them get rid of the acne quite as fast as proactive but the benefits are more or less permanent as long as you maintain a healthy skin care regimen. The product that seems to have worked for me best is a new brand called Suki. I got it at my local health store. The stuff works and its natural, and its also available on Amazon.

For the scarring and red marks that are leftover from previous acne cysts I have recently purchased a derma roller with over 200 tiny 0.5mm threaded pieces coming off of it that penetrate the skin forcing your body to create more collagen to heal those minut spots (in turn giving you smoother, younger looking skin). Google it and you'll see what I'm talking about. I bought my derma roller off of ebay for about $20 bucks. I also plan on using bio oil (purchased from amazon for about 10 bucks)in tangent with the derma roller. Will post an update on results when I get them.

But my advice, do not get your skin into that never ending cycle that typically comes when using products with BP. Once you start doing that it will be hard to get back to a normal PH and in the end your skin will suffer. I've been down this road many many times, trust me.

Didn't work July 20, 2010
JohnnyO
The product just didn't work at all. I saw no difference in the condition of my acne. I have rather mild acne and thought this product would help. It did not. While this next remark has nothing to do with my review as this is a review of the product and not the company itself, I would like to reemphasize what others have said: Do not order from Proactive's website. They automatically sign you up to receive a shipment every month. Canceling my membership was a customer service nightmare. I had to cancel multiple times as they continued to send the product and bill me after I canceled. Calling them on the phone meant wait times of 15-45 minutes to speak to someone.

worked at first July 19, 2010
not mark twain (denver, co)
This product worked great at first. My skin looked really good at first. I bought a 2nd batch of the product. Then my skin started drying out. I thought it would go away, since before my skin would break out then get dry, then break out then get dry. I continued to use it and my skin kept getting dryer and dryer. I had to quit using it. I like the mask that came with it though. It doesn't work as a spot pimple treatment like on the commercials, but it does have a nice cooling effect.
