Proactive Acne Solution Review

UPDATED REVIEW: www.youtube.com This is my review on Proactive – so far. I have only been on it for a “week and a half” but this is my experience so far I started off with really oily skin. My face was never dry and I would use a 2% salicylic acid astringent twice a day still without drying it out, but this product really did it! Right now I am doing it at night and in the morning putting moisturizer on.

I’ve had Proactive for almost a week and so far… I’m VERY unsatisfied. My acne has gotten bad the past few months and it seemed like nothing was working so I caved and got it. The first time I used it, the toner felt like it was burning then when I woke up that morning after using it I had big pimples on the sides of my nose and it’s just gotten worse. It’s made the redness on my cheeks and nose worse and I almost started crying.
Thank you SO much for this video! I have really sensitive skin and everyone told me that Proactiv would work fine on my skin, but now I know! You saved me!
@kitkatgurl8642 It may still work, but just ease into it slowly. Let your face get used to it before doing the full out routine twice a day.
when u first use the system, use it only once a day for like 2 days to let ur face get used to the stuff thats in it preferably at night so u dont have to use a sun screen. then gradually increase to twice a day, use the 3steps bcuz if u only use 1&3(2benzoyl peroxide) without the toner ur face will dry up…!
the same thing happened to me, i used to rub the sleeve of my sweater in my cheek and get a whole bunch of flakes, but after a while i noticed that i was over using it, so what i did was only use at night and the refining mask only once a day. That same week i saw the difference and now i only get about one or two pimples a week and my face is really soft and clear.
the mask is really a spot treatment
proactive does not work. the only thing that works is acutane. Its a prescription pill that gets rid of it and makes it never come back. Proactive and all those big companies are big fucking lies
my advice is to go to your gp! prescription drugs can be specific to your skin condition.. i use alzeaic acid cream twice a day with this other pill, works a treat.
im scared now
thats how it was for me when i first started using proactiv it would burn and manke my face dry so i stop using it for a while then started back and then those symptoms stopped and i have been using proactiv for months now like 8 or 9 months and ma face has cleared up and my skin tone has lightned and my skin is looking great i will keep using proactiv
did it work? you never uploaded a new video??
proactive is so strong and i recommened the clinique 3 steps rather than proactive
Hi, I have been using Proactive for a few weeks now. I didn’t have an extreme amount of spots, just a few very red ones around my chin and my mouth, but it caused me to feel very self conscious all the time and I never leave the house without a full face of make up on. I decided to buy proactive after seeing the advert, and so far it has only caused me to hav more spots than I had in the first place. Is this meant to happen or should I stop using it? Thanks!
@nouhangup89 It is normal for it to get worse at first but it should start to clear up and get better after 3-4 weeks. But they say that you must use it twice a day, every day. I have heard that if you miss one day, it made people breakout again.
I will do an update video because I only use step 1 now but I do use it every day. Only once a day though. My skin isn’t perfect but it is better. But like you, I only had a few spots.
@NaturalyMommy thanks for reminding me. i will do an update soon!
@fadingdreams300 Yeah, I have skipped a couple of evenings because i’ve been too tired to do it all! So maybe thats why I’ve had a break out. Okay thankyou, it’s really helpful!!
Im kinda scared to try it out :/
@marcus09ayen Don’t try it out , it burns your face like crazy , and yes it will clear your acne . But if you stop , the acne will come again which sucks . And it makes your face really dry and red. Please don’t try it out (;
@irockskinniesx3 Yep i was contemplating of getting it or not. I heard a lot of good reviews about it, but i heard a lot of bad things too :/
I bought the mario badescu products instead. I loved it and u can see the difference within days.
@marcus09ayen Yeahh ! I was about to buy it but my cousin used it and said it was HORRIBLE. So i use st.ives apricot scrub . I really love it (: . You should try itt
thats why you use the green ttea moisturizer (: its made for that specific product.
I started to use proactive for more than 2weeks but I dont see any results …!!!:((((
@labsha33 It usually takes between 2-4 weeks before you start to see anything. And sometimes it gets worse before it gets better so at least be happy it hasn’t gotten worse!
when i bought proactive at the mall, the guy who sold it to me told me not to freak out if anything like that happend, he said it was just all the bad stuff coming out (:
i’ve been using it for two months now and i have barely any acne left
burned really bad the first time i used it though !
out of everything i’ve tried it’s honestly the only thing that has worked , (:
