Proactive Solution Repairing Lotion

Pros: It works
Cons: Mail order but you can go on scheduled mailings - $$

I saw this advertised on TV. At first I was skeptical but after many tries with OTC lotions and prescriptions I figured, why not. I started seeing results after just a week. The first sign was I did not get any more breakouts especially during my period....

Pros: None
Cons: Worsened my acne

I first bought Proactive back in 1995 when I started seeing ads about it on tv. I was 23 at the time and had been dealing with moderate to severe acne from the age of 13. I'd been to 6 different dermatologists over the course of 10 years and had used ever ...

Pros: Fast results, it does NOT irritate my skin at all.
Cons: I personally to not think there is anything negative to say about these products.

I have tried everything from OTC, Rx's...including Accutane!
Practive Solution Repairing Lotion is my favorite of them all. I do really love the rest of the products too. I would tell anyone to try it. You can find these products on eBay alot cheaper than anywhere else. GOOD LUCK!!!

Pros: Lightweight, non greasy, fresh scent.
Cons: None

After you wash your face and use the toner the third and final step. The repairing lotion, this lotion is very light weight and non greasy. It leaves no residue on your skin and really clears it up. So all in all, all 3 products together combine for one heck of a skincare package, and for 46.00 what a steal.

Pros: Scrub makes skin softer and brighter.
Cons: No effect whatsoever on acne and blackheads. WAY TOO time consuming.

I bought ProActive hoping to clear up the blackheads and bumps on my forehead. I don't suffer from severe acne, but I'm 37 and really tired of oily, bumpy skin, not to mention oodles of blackheads all over my face. Did it work? NO! And it made my face worse. To top it off, when I called to cancel, they talked me into their extra-strength version for free (now why don't they offer that in the first place?) and sent it to the wrong address! Needless to say I am no longer a member/user.

Pros: Evens skin tone, nice smell
Cons: Doesn't work like it should for the $

I was soo excited to try this! I have struggled with zits for about 8 years now, and while they aren't "out of control" I never have a clear face. The first couple of weeks, it really seemed to be clearing up...my pores started to look clearer and everything! But after that, I still got zits, same amount. It seemed like they were so much more noticable, I think because the skin tone was more even and the GIANT RED SPOTS stood out een more. However, after the first shipment, I had seen not much of a result. But, I thought I would wait for my second treatment. Now, I was going on 3 months of Pro Activ and I cancelled. They give you the 3rd degree when you cancel, but who cares. I will probably try the Walmart generic when I'm all out of this crap. Oh one thing, the pore refining sulfur mask is awesome....I will probably still buy it.

Pros: It actually works, puts OTC solutions to SHAME!!
Cons: The cost

My job requires me to be in front of people all the time, so I needed something to clear my mild-moderate acne...
After 2 days (I'm NOT KIDDING) Proactiv is already improving my skin. Plus, it feels like silk. My secret: Since it can be very over-drying, I use the toner very sparingly. I dab it where my chronic breakouts USED to be, and it does the trick. The cleanser makes my skin so smooth and soft, and the lotion is awesome. I don't care what anyone says, you will not find over-the-counter products that even come close to Proactiv's success. I love it!!!

Pros: Helps bad skin, smooths the texture of your skin, good value.
Cons: sometimes fades my pillow cases. Who cares when you have great skin!

I try to use it every day. If my skin starts getting dry, broken out and clogged looking (because I've been forgetting to use it), I slather it all over my face before bed and wake up with such healthier looking skin. I wish I knew about it sooner, I've been using it for a little over a year now.

A thin layer under your make-up before the day starts keeps you face clear and fresh looking all day. It's worth the money.

Pros: For the first three days my skin felt smooth.
Cons: Made my skin dry and very irritated.

I'm a 30 yr old woman with mild to moderate acne. I tried proactive for the first time and wow, my skin was great...for the first 4 days.

After the 5th or 6th day, my skin felt dry and itchy. I wasn't applying too much and sometimes I skipped the Repairing Lotion to every other day.

After a week, my skin was in bad shape. The acne had almost doubled on my skin, it was red and bumpy and ITCHY!! I've used many different products before, ones that had benzoyl peroxide but NEVER did it irritate my skin like Proactive.

After all, acne comes from beneath the surface and rears it's ugly head on your skin.

Since I've never had a reaction like the one I had with Proactive, it made me afraid to ever try it again. Maybe some people are just not responsive to this stuff because I've heard more good than bad about this product.

Pros: terrible
Cons: the whole thing is a con

i sit here after just wakeing up in the mourning, every dad and nitice no change, i dont notice anything getting worse, i just notice ABSOLUTELY no change in my cace at all......the benzoyl peroxide irritates my skin and makes my face more red than ever...and i have a hard time looking at myself in a flourecant light, seeing only little red acne spots all over my face. The proactive solution is useless as far as me and and my acne filled face are concerned. I wanna sit down and scream at rodan and fields, the two worst dermetologists on the planet. I would never recomend this to a friend, NEVER...
My advice for rodan and fields, go and meet dr. Murad and his acne complex system, becuase unlike your pathetic system, it works. It makes promises that it can fufill and not leave people with acne every day like me. Do not buy this, it is to much money...if it worked as well as they said it does, maybe i would pay twice the price for it, but it is worth as much as the plastic bottles are worth, because the stuff inside is worthless waste....

Pros: Takes no time to apply, and no horrible smell
Cons: Dries out the skin

I haven't had problems with acne very long. It's only been since I started taking a new medication that i've had to endure this horrible affliction. After about 2 months of trying other products, such as Neutrogena Acne Wash, and Oil Of Olay Facial Cleansers with absolutely no results, I decided to go ahead and buy the proactive solution system off the shopping channel (was even able to pay in 2 installments!). I have been using this product for about a month now, and my acne has drastically changed. It isn't gone completely, as my medication won't seem to allow it. But it has helped tremendously.
This is the third step of the Proactiv Solution system, and the easiest. After you wash with the cleanser, and use the toner just dab a bit on your fingers and rub onto face. The instructions on the bottle are very clear, no way to make a mistake.
My face started to dry out from this product, so i started to use an oil free moisturiser afterwards, and it has helped alot. My face no longer gets dry and flacky!

Pros: NOTHING!
Cons: EVERYTHING!

Horribly dried out my skin. Not worth the price...not worth any price. I seriously HATED this product and the entire line of "proactiv"! I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone!...maybe my enemies. I felt so mad at my self for letting my self be fooled by those infomercials. What a rip off....please do me a favor and DON'T use this line of products...to expensive, not worth it, dries skin out horribly, and frankly it sucks!

Pros: cleans face stops breakouts
Cons: Can dry out skin Have to have regular shipments

This is one of the best products I've ever found and have been using it for several years. This was the only facial product I've found to help with breaking out and I've even tried prescription medication. For a period of time it made my face so dry that it was flaking but that went away.

I wish I could have just ordered a supply when I'd run out because I didn't use it enough I guess and kept piling up new unopened boxes. I've canceled my account for now since I have enough for the rest of the year right now.

Pros: Worked for a while
Cons: Expensive, stopped working

To be breif about this, I tried it a few years ago and it worked well on my acne. It is very drying and peeled my skin at first but when I saw acne going away I stuck with it. I then got it a few years later and found that my skin had become used to the peroxide and no longer worked to get rid of the acne. The best advice I can give is try to cheaper drug store brand. It works exactly the same.

Pros: AMAZING.
Cons: expensive, but worth every penny.

I have been using Proactv for about a year and it saved my face. However, I found that the lotion is the secret to Proactiv's success. If you carefully pair a good exfoliating cleanser with the repairing lotion, you will see the same results as using all 3 steps of the Proactiv system. I recommend Aveeno daily cleansing pads (Much cheaper!!). They have been working for me for about 5 months and as long as I continue to use the repairing lotion every night....perfection. Forget the toner. You don't need it.
