Proactive Solution Repairing Lotion

Pros: zits go AWAY!, skin looks less oily.
Cons: smells weird, not BAD, you have to get used to it. may dry skin a little @ first, bleaches cloth

this stuff is awesome. i have very oily skin and the first time i used it i thought to myself, "oh no.. LOTION! i am going to be an oil monster!" but the thing is, it absorbs into the skin quickly and leaves it feeling awesome. it got rid of...

Pros: non drying, no odor
Cons: a bit pricey

As you know, I'm a huge fan of Proactiv's products. In August, I became a daily user of their products. There are four products in the kit which can be bought as a kit or purchased individually. It does end up being a little more cost effective for...

Pros: a waste of time and postage
Cons: very misleading

I have been using proactive 4 step for a little over 2 weeks now and there is no change. I'm extremely upset I really need relief at a good price. I'm so tired of these breakouts and blemishes.The only reason i'm not really ticked off is because of the 60 day money back risk free trial.I also forgot there is no lather to the wash so my face never felt clean

Pros: It's Wonderful, truly clears skin
Cons: Can be a tiny tiny tiny bit drying.

I'm in my early 20's and I only break out in my t-zone. After seeing many of my friends use it and watching the commercials on t.v. I decided to give it a try. And only after a week of using this product, my face has cleared up faster than anything else I've ever used. My skin is smooth and shiny. I am so happy with the result from using this product already, I can only imagine what this product will do for me as time goes by.

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: 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: It's worth a try if it will get rid of yours.
Cons: I know it doesn't work for many, just look at the reviews.

Contrary to what the infomercial would have you believe: this doesn't work for everybody.

I have tried it TWICE. The first time about 6 years ago. I did everything right and my skin actually became worse.

About a year ago I saw a commercial again and it was just so convincing. I convinced my self I just didn't give it a real shot, that maybe I should have tried it longer...etc.

WRONG, I did everything right, gave it 3 months and it made my skin worse, again.

Pros: Refund processed quickly, no future charges appeared.
Cons: Didn't work & irritated her skin.

My daughter is in the throes of teen acne and tried this product for 3 weeks with no visible results, plus it seemed to irritate the skin.

They recommend you stick to it, but we really didn't want to get stuck with a product that didn't work, so we sent it back.

I also did not like that you are automatically enrolled to receive the next shipment. That made me nervous.

Called to send back & the staff was nice.

Pros: If you have oily skin with regular breakouts, this lotion will change your life.
Cons: My skin becomes bumpy all over if I skip a treatment or two.

I started using Proactive Repairing Solution about 15 years ago and have used it every day ever since. Actually, I started it with the other steps however the Repairing Lotion was the most effective product.

Pros: Soft, supple skin. Reduces acne significantly.
Cons: Hits the wallet hard.

My final review for the 3-piece Proactiv system. I bought the one-month supply at a special "reduced" price and I am pleased with the results. The repairing lotion replenishes any dryness from the toner on my oily skin. After it dries I can't help touching my super soft and smooth skin. I really love the feel after using all three steps and my skin has improved significantly.

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.

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: none
Cons: doesn't work. too much money. better off buying cheap stuff from the grocery store!

This does not work. The lotion makes my face oily. I have not seen improvement at all. Company treats customers crappy. (I was charge to send shipment back that was sent to me automatically). They don't tell you the truth.

Pros: Nothing really...comes in an attractive bottle
Cons: all of the above, plus it is expensive

Not only the lotion, but the whole product, i think is BOGUS. Yes it might work for some people, but it doesnt work for everyone...dont believe the commercials. Proactive makes your face extremely uncomfortable and it hurts you even more. I had acne b4 i started using it but as soon as i started my face became reallly dry and itchy....then i noticed i started to develop new painful bumps...intially i thot it was the process and it will eventually clear but it didnt. The acne increased 10 folds...i decided to stick to it for a month...at the end my complexion became uneven and my face looked burnt...also my acne was the worse it had ever been in my life. It was also really painful. Trust me guys...proactive is crap....it makes ur acne WORSE. I think the ingredients are just to harsh and i guess it aggreviates the skin.

Pros: Skin cleared immediately after I started using, and stayed clear for about a year.
Cons: Difficult to travel with because of their size. However, wonderful travel system can be bought.

I've been using Proactiv for about a year, and have never been happier with a beauty product. I get compliments on how wonderful my skin looks. I very rarely have a breakout, and the ones I have are tiny, and don't last very long. I will never switch to another facial cleansing system. I would recommend this product to anyone.
