it does work, but it probably wont help you too much since you dont have much to clear up.. you can try it though if you really want to. it does make your face pretty dry though and it does bleach stuff.. you really dont need it though

Ive been using it. It like the product but it just doesnt seem to work that great. It costs 40.00 for a two month supply. One bottle last 2 months.
However. I had the best results with Acne Free. Its pretty much the same thing. Its supposed to be proven to be more effective than Proactive.
Acne free is anywhere from 18-20 dollars for a set of 3 cleanser toner lotion. You can buy it at Walgreens and Walmart.
The toner works very well. It pulls the dirt out not like others.
My skin stayed acne free longer and better than when I've been using Proactive.
I've heard some people don't get results from proactive. Some Do. Some make it worse. Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better. So whatever you try give it a few weeks to work.
Again I thought the acne free was best. I felt like it was working.

YES! I love proactive. I have never had acne but I still use this product because it is a product for everyone. I use it because it makes my face smoother and evens out the tone. I know over 10 people, brothers, cousins, and friends that have used this product and it worked miracles! My brothers struggled with acne for years so my mom bought them proactive, using it twice a day their acne cleared up in less that 2 weeks. If I get a single zit, I cant put some on the zit over-night and it's gone in the morning. It is definitely worth it. Plus it's only about 25 dollars including shipping and handling so it is really affordable, plus if you don't like it you can always return it and get your money back, just make sure for your first order you tell them you only want a one month supply. Proactive might feel weird at first but just believe me and keep using it for at least 2 weeks. You'll see a difference.

It works GREAT at first. But then your face starts to get used to it and it doesn't do anything for your face anymore. But the thing about Proactive is you can't stop using it. They designed it to hook people so if they stop using it your face will break out ten times worse. It's a marketing tool and runs out quickly. It doesn't work on your chest if you have chest acne and overall you need to find something else. It also bleaches alot of things, clothes, towles, rags...Everything. Do you know how irritating it is to have a brand new shirt pull it over your head even if you haven't recently used pro active, and then have bleach stains on it? So not worth it.
Every step has a flaw. The first step is griddy and hurts when you rub it against your face. The second step is a liquid and runs out very fast. The third step feels really wierd you apply it and causes irritation and redness.

If your skin isnt too bad its a waste. It does work, but if you already have ok skin you run the risk of drying out your skin even more - it really could be overkill. PLUS it bleaches your stuff if you arent careful - towels and pillows and such. Not fun.
Just try something you can find at the local store, I use Neutrogena products and they work great for me.

I've never used Proactiv but I don't think it works. Try using Neutrogena, this one I used it before and it works really good. Trust mi.

It works, but I have gotten comparable results with L'oreal"s 3 step acne system as well as wilth nutragena's. These a less expensive and you can find them at your local drugstore usually.

It works good at the beginning, after a while you don't feel any different though! Still better than nothing or other brand though!

Yes it does, my oldest son has been using it for 3 months now and I see a tremendous change in his facial skin. His skin looks clear. Good luck.
