Proactiv...does it really work? email this discussion to a friend?

My friend ordered me the basic 1-2-3 kit of Proactiv and I have read reviews that the product is very drying and is not effective. I tried that refining mask and it smells HORRIBLE. What are your experiences with this product?

Oh my god I wanted to try this product when it first hit the market but at the time I couldn't afford it and years later my sister tried it and thank god I didn't waste my money. She didn't feel like it helped her at all. It made her skin a little more dry but that is about it, and it doesn't help if you have sensitive skin. Yeah it might work for some people but I really doubt it works for all. It is all about the money with some of these companies. I have tried so many products out their some for skin some for other things and I hate it when they mislead you about a product just to make sale. I hate it also when so many troubled people are looking for a solution and they pray into their hurt and pain for their dimes. How uncompassionate can they be. I will never understand this.

My boyfriend bought it for me last year. I have not used it all up. I found that it dried my skin out a lot, really bad so I called the hot line and she told me not to put the repairing lotion all over my face, to just put it on the blemishes and to see if that would help. I just didn't use it anymore because my face felt like sandpaper but I have really fair sensitive skin so i think that is why. I heard that there going to be having a new one out for sensitive skin so i might try it. i have heard from people that they swear by it and it didn't have that affect on them. so I think you should try it, it might really work for you and if not just stop using it.

I could not afford it. One time, I was at a family reunion and I felt isolated. I went to use the bathroom in the basement of the house, and came upon proactiv. I tried it once, and my skin seemed to clear up somewhat.But I didn't get to use it continually. By the way, my skin isn't very sensitive, as far as I know. I have tried to bid for kits on ebay for a decent price, but I have always been outbid by people willing to spend too much for the product. Does it really work? I would like to know that! If it is expensive just because of the hype, then that is very sad and usual.

i really didnt like proactive it didnt dry out my skin or anything but i just didnt see any results the best thing to do is go to the dermatologist the medicine can be kind of pricy but in the end its really worth it bc of the results that u do get plus if u have insurance most of it is covered

I've tried Proactiv once, the 60 day kit.In my case, it didn't work. I followed the instructions but up to the last day, I still have pimples. The refining mask really smell that way because it contains sulfur which is odorous.Aside from being expensive, it is time consuming ritual. It say is good for all skin types but my face becomes more oily after using it. I have to consult my dermatologist again to lessen the bumps on my face.

I have never used it but I do believe that it works. After all isn't the commercial that promotes the stuff done by celebrities themselves? I think that they would be honest enough about it after all it doesn't show very flattering pics of how they looked before. If I needed it it would probably be something I would try.

I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone. I do all three steps everyday morning and night. It works very well and I use to have bad breakouts all the time. I have had so many people comment on my skin. Now my 18 year old son uses it and loves it too.
