Pros: only small amount of Benzoyl Peroxide
Cons: expensive, not for everyone's skin and living style
The Bottom Line: Proactive is not for people with dry skin and in air conditioned room a lot. If one still wants to use it, remember to maintain one's skin with moisture.

| annietsai8's Full Review: Proactive Solution Repairing Lotion |
When I entered university, I noticed my roommate always kept Proactive Solution system on the left side of the sink. I grew more curious as each day I saw the products sitting on the bathroom counter and watching the commercials in TV. One day I was talking to a guy friend, and he admits he is also starting to use the Proactive solution. After a while, I could not resist temptation and want to try the products myself.
I was very excited when my friend helped my to order and I got my first package. The products seems to be slight scented and I like the way it feels on my skin when I first tried it.I followed the directions, and my skin did get cleared up. I was happy with the results, but then some things happened.
The longer I use the Proactive, the more dry my skin is. I noticed I was using more toner and skin softener than usual.The dry weather of where I live worsen the condition. However, by using the lotion itself was ok for my skin, since I also use it with other brands of toner and softener.
My living style also had a big change. I began to have more friends, and that means going to sleep later and later in the night. Not allowing my skin to have the 11pm-2am turnover cycle really damaged my skin. And living in air condition rooms made my skin's dryness even worse along with the dryness I had from Proactive. I almost wanted to scratch my face off.
From there I had to stop using Proactive. It is a very effective product. However, it is not for people with dry skin. Proactive also does not help people who goes to sleep at 4am or 6am with meals that do not have veggies. I learned that yes, the treatments help, but beauty starts from everyday good eating and sleeping habits too...
