Proactive Solution Repairing Lotion

Pros: helps non hormone effected areas to be softer and smoother
Cons: simply doesn't work on hormonally effected acne

I have been using proactive twice a day for about 2 months and I can't say that it has helped very much. My acne is deffinatly hormonal and it shows up on the lower part of my face. I will say that proactive has helped out the parts of my face that are not effected by my hormones. for example, Any minor pore clogs or bumps on my forehead or nose are totally cleared up and that skin is really clear and smooth. However my lower cheeks and chin (hormone effected)have shown little to no improvement. If you just have finicky, oily skin that needs a good daily detox then maybe this product can help you. However in my case, it's been rather useless. Everyones skin is different, but in my opinion if you have acne that is heavily determined by your hormones this product is not gonna do much to stop that cause the problem is really an internal one.

Pros: At first skin appeared clearer, less blackheads.
Cons: Eventually, prolonged use made my skin break out even worse.

I first tried Proactiv in November of 04' and it seemed to work good at first, it cleared up all my blackheads and made my skin smoother. After I ran out of it, I figured I'd go buy some more because my skin was looking great. Well...I continued my Proactiv routine and it seemed like my skin got used to it and it was no longer effective on my pimples. Eventually, my skin became really dry and tight feeling and I started breaking out more (probably b/c of the Benzoyl Peroxide). After I noticed my skin was getting worse, I quit using Proactiv and started using Neutrogena products and my skin is now under control. I don't think Proactiv is worth the money or the time you spend putting this stuff on. My advice is to just go see a dermatologist because they will know what is right for your skin, not all people are meant to use Proactiv. My boyfriend used it before too and it also made his acne worse.

Pros: none
Cons: bleaches fabric

Probably works on skin for some - but made my skin (and kids) feel tight and like a mild sunburn. I do not have sensitive skin, but one kid does. It is very drying and caused me to extremely dry spots on my face that looked similar to mild peeling from a sunburn.

Pros: you see result very fast, easy to apply, doesn't smell as bad as other products
Cons: expensive if bought outside of the USA in my case in Canada

I have been using proactive for over a year and this product has cleared my skin. I used to have really bad acne all over my face and right now people can't even tell i had it. Even though i only used once a day(at night) i got great results

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: Give it time, it works!
Cons: COST! Buy it from Ebay, and not from the ProActiv site.

At first, I was one of the highly skeptical viewers of the ProActiv infomercials, but I became a believer of this particular product. I am a 27 year old female, and I have been suffering from acne break outs on most parts of my body (head, neck, back, shoulders, chest). I tried ProActiv for eight months, and it really did help me. I saw a reduction in the scars I already had, and I also had a reduction in the amount of acne I would get. My skin felt smoother, and I looked A LOT better! When I photographed, I would not see the acne like I used to.

To all of those who really want an esteem boost and to look and feel better, take some time and money to do the ProActiv routine, it really does work.

Pros: Proactiv works instantly; mild scent; saw immediate results; my skin is clear and acne-free
Cons: Ordering through mail automatically enrolls you into the company's "membership"

Proactiv is a great product. When I stopped taking birth control pills, my skin took a turn for the worse. I noticed a difference after 5 or 6 days of using the product.
If possible, I suggest buying this product at a kiosk at your local mall. If you order through mail, you're automatically enrolled in the Proactiv "membership" program, where they send you a refill every 3 months. I found that I still had over 1/2 of the bottles left, so I returned it. The company will credit my card upon receipt, but I had to pay for twice for shipping for a product I did not use (approximately $13.00.

Pros: fragrance
Cons: did not work

My dad bought this product for me when I kept complaining about my acne a little while ago. A lot of my friends were using it saying they had incredible results and I was somewhat lured in by the advertisement (I mean come on Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears use it).

I got him to order Proactive for me and I totally regret it. The price was expensive but I had the mentality of "if it's expensive, it probably works." I used it for a couple months and in the first month I saw results. My acne cleared up and my skin was smoother. I continued using the product for another month and I broke out like none other. It just stopped working all of a sudden. I told my dad to cancel the entire thing, which made him happy because he didn't have to make those ridiculous payments, and I still deal with acne but it's not as severe when I used Proactive.

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: none
Cons: bleached towels,expensive, made acne worse and all over

I never really had acne...just annoying trouble zones. I got proactive (expensive) and sometimes it seemed to work for a while. Then my acne got really bad, it looked like I had gotten a rash, it was so embarrassing. I now have acne all over my face and it is soo hard to cover with makeup because of how dry proactive makes your face. I regret staying with it for so long, I don't know why but it was addicting. I would suggest not using especially if you can find a cheaper substitute.

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: 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: 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: 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.
