Pro activ sucks.. so does murad, clinique acne solutions, clear start, and all these other acne kits. I've tried everything, I'm currently using Michael Todd's organic brand of skin care products, and I can see improvement with my skin than I have EVER tried with any other acne kits

I tried proactiv for 30 days and it did nothing. I liked the toner, but the cleanser is really rough and doesn't work very well. The moisturizer they give I find is really oily. It doesn't work, and yes it dries your skin out like crazy. Not recommended!

I'm surprised so many peeps hate proactiv! I've been using it, and tried to switch to a more gentle system, and I guess this is where the "dependency" on benzoyl peroxide come in, but my acne got worse and is only now getting better now.
If you do decide to try proactiv (which I'm thinking you're not), I would make sure to go with buying it in amazon, since buying it straight from the proactiv website will sign you up for auto ship that you can't stop a shipment for or cancel from the website (you have to call). And you can get the jumbo sizes of the products on amazon!

Benzoyl peroxided is banned in other countries, I think that should tell you right there not to use it lol

Zap it basically dries out the fluid that's in the pimple so it goes away.

I used proactiv for three months it worked wonderfully. Then I stopped using it for two weeks tried it again and developed an allergic reaction ending up in the hospital. It doesn't work for everyone but its worth a shot.

It's too expensive just to try it! Follow the skin routine by cleansing,toning,mosturising. Blend in some tea tree oil before sleep. Tone Tone! Don't use tap water and soap! Youse mineral foundation,no heavy stuff on face!
