My mom and I have heard good things about it. She thought I should try it because I've had mild acne for awile now, and nothing has gotten rid of my forehead acne. BUT before I order it I thought I'd ask you wonderful people:) Have you tried it? What are your results? I've also heard good things about tea tree oil. Please Heelllp!

Try oil instead , it does wonders for your skin.

Avoid proactive it's a gimmick , yeah it works but when your all clear and you stop using it it breaks you out worse than before! My experience & I also read a lot about that and I didn't listen 70.00 went down the toilet.

Don't get it!! It's a waste not only does it do nothing for your skin to make it better but it makes it worse if you stop using it. I use the face wash by up and up and love it, it is way better than proactive and costs way less.

It worked for me even after I stopped using it. I used the soap for your body and I loved it.

I 100% recommend the Clinique acne solutions 3 step. I tried proactive and as soon as I stopped I broke out worse than before. This kit is the only thing that has cleared up and maintained clear skin for me. I wouldn't live without it no.

It work s but you have tto be consistent. that's with all regimes..I don't know were you live but over here Chicago they got the regular small kit for $20 at most malls..they set up proactive vending machines..put in $20 and the kit drops down.

I tried Ethernet clinique 3 step, and this is probably just ne, but I had allergic reactions from it AND IT BROKE ME OUT LIKE CRAZY.

I like proactiv. Funny thing is that clinique did nothing for me. I recommend using natural things. Honey is excellent for your skin. I would still recommend proactiv.

I don't recommend proactive, it has bleach in it and that it how it works it bleaches your skin!

I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub, which is a gentle cleanser and Cetaphil on my face. My acne used to be absolutely horrible when I was 9 years old. I'm 17 now and my skin is super clear. A proper diet is extremely important when clearing up skin, as is a good amount of sleep. Exercising a lot also helps keep pores clear because your skin detoxifies itself through sweat. And no makeup when acne is at its worst.

Proactive is terrible. It left me with scars on my cheeks :( Also, they automatically send it to you each month and it took numerous calls to them in order for the shipments to stop coming!

Don't get proactive. It's a waste. I bought my tea tree oil stuff at the body shop.

Proactive is really bad for your skin the acid they use in it can ruin and and make your skin really ichy plus the price is really not good use something natruel.

Don't do proactiv, although I know it has worked for some people it nearly always breaks them out worse afterwards. It also gave me a little rash around my fave because the chemicals were so harsh, needless to say it's a rip off. Use tea tree oil! Or dermatologica has a ton of really amazing products, the night clearing oil is AMAZING.

My brother has really bad acne and oily skin and we bought proactive, it did work and got rid of all of his acne but it left his face all red and splotchy, turns out he was allergic to the benzoyl peroxide that was in it. Watch out for that kind of stuff because that might happen to you with any product.
