With acne you can’t stress out a lot, and don’t clean your face more than 3 times a day. Your skin can’t be over dried so use some lotion and wipe some of it away with a towel. If you can, get the neutrogena wave, but the one that doesn’t spin, instead of buying the pads just use a wash cloth over it, I have had great success with this method, it cleans deep, you can get neutrogena power cleaner at walmart in the cosmetics area. I used to wash my face manually but it’s just isn’t deep enough.

I hope this may have helped.

acne is not a face issue…its caused by imbalance within your body. Proactiv is not a miracle worker, but it is very helpful. You have to watch what you eat as well. Using proactiv and drinking water will not clear up your skin by itself, you have to eat fatty food, oils sweets and other things in moderation.

My son is using proactive & it’s working great. He’s been having acne for about a year now, we used proactive & it took about 1 week to clear it up. He uses it at nite now & his face looks great! I highly recommend the product. But be careful, your face can get sunburned easy when going out in the son because it’s exfoliating your skin. Great Product!

I used Proactive for 3 months. The first month was great. My face cleared up and it wasn’t over dry. By the third month, I had developed severe dry patches around my hairline. They burned. I thought I was getting psoriasis. I decided to stop using proactive just in case that caused it and it started clearing up as soon as I stopped. I am sure that it works for people who don’t have sensitive skin buty if you do have sensitive skin this may not be something you want to spend your money on. The green tea moisturizer is great.

I just started using it about 1 week ago. My acne is diminishing. My face is clearing up but it is very irritating (especially around the eyes)

I do not apply the cleanser/toner/repairer to the eye area though (you’re not supposed to), I use the eye serum that came with my Proactiv package.

I think I will give it maybe 1 month (and stop using the eye serum). Hopefully the irritation ceases.

I stopped using Proactive a couple of years ago because I couldn’t afford it. I found some leftovers in my cupboard but the cleanser expired last year, is it still alright to use?

I used Proactive and that stuff is CRAP! It made my acne worse, not better, and bleached my clothing. Total waste of money. I used it every day for four months and it did NOTHING except make things worse.

I don’t even believe those stars actually use it. They, after all, can afford to have $1,000 facials every day if they want, not to mention the $400 prescriptions.
