I am using it right now, it works quite well, but it's a bit pricy from memory, it also comes with some bonus washes and moisturizers. Make sure you use the moisturizer as the cleanser and toner can dry your skin out a little bit :)

it's a nice system but womtnworo for everyone, you have to have a specific type of breakout for the treatment to work properly or (as Emily said) it will definitely make you dry. it didn't work for , me. hope this helps!!!

I use it as a spot treatment and it works very well! But be ware, it will dry out your skin very much for the first couple days!

It works for some and doesn't work for others and like Jocelyn said, I have also heard that after you stop using it the acne comes back worse for some people. I've also heard that for some people it just stops working. I personally think that if you suffer from acne he best thing to do is go to a dermatologist. I certainly wish I had done so sooner.

I have used pro active in the past & it is a great temporary treatment but i dont recommend using it for an extended time. One of the ingredients is bleach so you need to be carful with your applications, I found my skin dried out & became more pale to the rest of my body leaving un even skin tones. When i stopped using it I never broke out worse but my achne did return.

I've tried proactive and it doesn't really work for my oily-combination skin. I've been using neutroginas 3step acne kit and it works so well, I recommend it to everyone!

I use it, it works but I just canceled my account cause it does get pricey. They're customer service, not so great! I heard Cetaphil works wonders though & it's cheaper so I'll definitely be trying it!

I used it and I have sensitive skin. It worked for a couple days. Then I didn't use it for like 5 months my skin is the same and I followed all of the instructions and I broke out terribly! I had a terrible reaction and had to go to the ER. I think for my skin it just went away with the face wash I was using which was and still is Boots Gentle Foaming Face Wash

Since I am allergic to most the Boots one is the only one so far that works I have tryed the Cetaphil one before and I hate to say it and no offense but it smells like old ladies. My dermatologist even agreed.

It works ok, kind of. When I used to use it, it got rid of a bit of my acne, then did nothing for the rest.

I used proactive in high school, and it really helped my skin, it did also make my skin over dry as well. But the bummer part is, once you quit using it you are usually just as bad as when you started, it took me a year to get my skin under control after using it. So idk, yes it works... Is it worth the money and problems later?! Idk. I feel like their are plenty of skin care lines out their that something would have to work! Personal preference of course!
