Answer 1

It all depends.... Honestly I had been struggling with acne for over 9 years and I finally found a product that really works on me and also teach you the importance of the products and ingredients. first of all, avoid using products formulatted with mineral oil and animal products. These do not get absorbed by the skin and what it does is that it clogs your pores. In fact mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing you could do to your skins health #1 is the sun, it is like rubbing car oil on your skin and exposing yourself to the sun... Animal product come form rendering plants, these plants pick all dead animals from the road, meatmarkets etc and what they do is put them in a huge pot and squash everything inside and boil it the oil that comes to the top is what other companies use to formulate their "beauty" products ... gross i know.. eww lipstick and aghhh .. anyway, the important thing to do is read your ingredients and use the right ones regularly .... also bathing daily cleanses the skin, but it also can dry it out, causing it to look dull, but most importantly, it may cause irritation and remove the natural emolients your body produces to keep it healthy. When you bathe, always use a moisture-rich cleanser, and always pamper your skin with a daily moisturizer. I use arbonne products.... https://secure.myarbonne.com/arbonne/arb... because they are botanically based and you could really see the difference, i had acne and lots of blemishes and my skin has cleared so much, it really is amazing and they have everything for everybody.... theire deep pore cleansing mask and their scrub is just perfect for eliminating the blackheads. Also their face wash is great because it cleanses without drying and removes all traces of makeup and dirt.... works wonderful for me and the bes thing is that you could shop online, receive it in your house and if ther is something you do not like about the products which is rarely to happen, you return the item and they give your money back .... also check this site from the fox news about toxins in "beauty" products..... http://easylink.playstream.com/ydc/arbon...

Answer 2

The dermatologists (yes, plural) I've asked about it have basically all given the same response - yes, it's good stuff, and effective, but in no way unique.

It provides a good way to keep the skin clean and hydrated, but there are other less expensive products (and, perhaps more importantly, that don't require an up front recurring charge that is difficult to get out of...I've heard that credit card story from several people too) that can be found that are just as effective...if used as a daily regimen like Proactiv says you're supposed to use.

Answer 3

It works. It really, really works. It really just is benzoyle peroxide, the same stuff in clearasil, but it's microscopic fine. About 10 times finer than clearasil, so it actually goes deep into pores and attacks pimples, and in turn not much is left on the surface where irritation and burning can occur. The rest of what comes with proactive is just face wash and moisturizer. They pack this stuff in so you don't feel cheated for paying the price they ask. But trust me, even if they just sold the benzoyle cream, the price would still be a great value. Get it, you won't be dissapointed.

Answer 4

Most of the people I know say it is a really good product, only a few say it does not work for them. You can try it once and see if it work well or not. When you buy that product, the company assumes you will continue to buy it. They will send out the product to you once in two month and charges on your credit card. You need to call them if you no longer want to try out proactive.

Answer 5

Yes, I have used it before and it does really work. I would have to say that the only item that truly works is the repairing lotion. You can probably get your cleanser and facial toner anywhere and it would do the same thing but the repair lotion is really what takes away the marks and the acne.

Answer 6

I tried it and it worked great for a few months, then I think my skin got used to it (if that is possible) b/c it just stopped working. Now I use Nuetrogena's acne cream and it has worked great for about a year now and it is much cheaper.

Answer 7

i think its worth the money. just dont buy it thinking yiu are going to see a miracle over night... u have to use it properly (nigh and day) and use sunscreen as well... if you dont use it the way u r supposed to then it will not work and it will be a waste.. but that would be your own fault not the product. so try it out and be a lil patient! good luck!!

Answer 8

For me it has worked better than any other product. My sister uses the AcneBGone or whatever that one is that you can find in drugstores, and it hasnt worked as well for her. I would recommend trying it for a couple months and hopefully you will see it clearing up.

Answer 9

It works, but I had to go all the way through one set. But I tried it again and I haven't had a break out since. It takes time.

Answer 10

I did not like it. I spent way too much money on it. They kept charging my credit card every month when I told them not to. Save the money and go to a dermatoligist. Lasar treatments are amazing.,
