Guthy Renker Proactiv Solution System

Pros: Nothing
Cons: EVERYTHING!!! read the body

Im 15 years old and I barely started braking out this year. So of course i freak out and start looking for ways to make my acne go away. I saw Proactive on TV and begged my parents to get it for me. I was so relieved when they did. I figured that ...

Pros: It can help clear up acne conditions.
Cons: Needs time for skin to finish 'purging'; ingredients may cause irritation, non-Earth friendly ingredients

I've been plagued by allergies my entire life, so I know how sensitive I am to everything. My skin allergy test is a 4 plus plus from everything from grass, molds, dogs, cats, trees, etc. So with that said, most of this stems from a condition known as ...

Pros: Fewer breakouts
Cons: Expensive and doesn't work the way it's portrayed in magazines and commercials

I started using this product about 4 years ago because I was so depressed by the way my face looked from breakouts. I tried numerous acne treatments to try and clear it up until I heard about proactiv. The commercial made it seem like it was a miracle ...

Pros: It changed my skin all together, I rarely ever break out anymore.
Cons: It's a little harsh, so let them know if you have sensitive skin.

I have been using Proactiv for about 6 months now, and all I have to say is THANK G-D. I am 27 yrs old and I guess I have what you call "Adult Acne" I never had a problem until my mid I was about 23. I have the Cystic type acne... I was battling ...

Pros: Works for cystic acne
Cons: Regimen is complicated, doesn't completely work on my hormonal outbreaks.

I have had acne since I was a teen, and cystic acne for 8 years (minus the one year I have been using Proactiv). These products have worked for me, now my skin is mostly clear with a few monthly hormonal breakouts. There are some flaws in this system ...

Pros: None
Cons: Expensive, doesn't work

After seeing commercials for this stuff everywhere, I decided to give it a try. For something that cost $49.95, it seemed worth the price and that I'd help contain my acne. Boy, was I in for a surprise. Now I can see why the price is slashed in half and ...

Pros: It is better than not washing your face at all
Cons: Pricey, does not work well

One word: OVERRATED. I do not see the miracle cure that Jessica Simpson, P Diddy, and all the rest of the overpaid celebrity endorsements seem to see. It actually made my skin worse at first, and then a gradual improvement. It was no where near ...

Pros: easy to use, no strong smells
Cons: doesn't always work, leaves DRY FLAKY SKIN

Since I was 14, I have been battling mild to moderate acne. I purchased Proactiv when I was about 15 and desperate. My face was completely peppered with bumps and pimples. It did work wonders on my skin, but at school I noticed the skin on my chin ...

Pros: Reasonable price, FAST results, results are maintained.
Cons: Smell isn't great.

I'm a happy, satisfied Proactiv customer. As a "club member", I receive shipments every month, and have no intention of canceling anytime soon. My skin has never been bad; I do, however, suffer the occasional blackhead on my nose or tiny outbreak ...

Pros: Like the look of the product, easy to use, really works
Cons: I wish they would sell it in stores!

When I was a teenager, I actually had flawlessly beautiful skin, it wasn't until I was about 23 that it started acting up. It seemed linked to hormones, or bad lifestyle choices. I would break out pretty much constantly around my mouth. They were ...

Pros: Home Delivery, Clear Skin, Inexpensive alternative to Dermatologists!
Cons: A little goes a long way and really need a shipment every 3 months!

I began using Proactiv's 3 step system nearly a year ago. I love it! I am a 30 year old woman and my acne started when I was 24 years old and needless to say, that's humiliating. I tried everything under the sun from prescription grade benzoyl ...

Pros: the system works if you personalize it
Cons: expensive

Proactiv works, but only if you personalize the system. I've been using Proactiv products for about a year. When I first started using Proactiv, I ordered the kit that comes with the Renewing Cleanser, Revitalizing Toner, Repairing Lotion, and ...

Pros: Clears up acne quickly and keeps it away
Cons: Toner and Repairing lotion can be drying

I've been a Proactiv user for 8 years...and let me tell you...there is NO better facial cleanser out there. All through middle school I had terrible acne. I used to sadly joke that my face looked like a pepperoni pizza. It was full of red marks, and ...

Pros: It's an easy system to use, prevents and clears up acne, leaves your face soft!
Cons: Not available in stores.

I'm in my 30's now, but started getting adult acne with my monthly cycle around my chin when I was in my early 20's. As a kid (when you're supposed to get blemishes), I had great skin! I thought I'd give Proactiv a try - considering I'd tried b.c. ...

Pros: Offers hope. Seems to work for many.
Cons: Not only didn't work, but led to more acne.

I'm finally getting around to writing a review of the Proactiv system. About Me: I'm a woman with acne-prone, very oily skin. My skin is generally clear (especially now that I've learned what works best for me), but there is always the chance I will ...
