I have used Pro-Active and I am still using it. It does work, at least it did for me, but everyone's skin is different and there is no garauntee that if it works for one person it will for another. If you want to try proactive I say go for it the only catch is that you must continue to use the product because when some people discontinue using it their acne returns. Well, hope I helped and Good Luck :)

It tried it for several months on two different occasions - it did help improve my acne SLIGHTLY, but not very much.
What I'm using now - cod liver oil (yeah, I know, but it's not THAT bad, and you can get it flavoured and in gel caps) for the vitamin A - it REALLY helps. It's like a miracle! I've had acne for something like 19 years, and it's finally going away...
And a great product for your face - this eBay seller has some wonderful products. I use the soap and the scrub, and occasionally the moisturizer. They're all fabulous - read through all of the info the have at their store; they also have an unlimited time money back gurantee, and are very , very reasonably priced. Only thing that seems to work for my supre sensitive skin.
Hope this helps you - I was getting pretty desperate. You woulnd't believe some of the things I've put on my face LOL

No - don't buy it. I bought it for my son and it didn't work. Save your money and just start eating better and taking care of your skin. If a blemish does rear its ugly head despite all these precautions, don't squeeze it. Conceal it by simply using some matte foundation and lightly dusting with translucent powder. If it bursts, carefully squeeze it out and wash the area with soap and water. Follow up by applying a few drops of limejuice on the affected area with a cotton swab. The marks will disappear. As lemon is a natural bleaching agent, rubbing a slice on your face can also lighten your skin tone. Two spoonfuls of basen (gram flour) mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder and a few drops of lime make a good face pack.
Good luck!

Yes proactive works at first it brings all of the oils in your skin to the surface of your skin and then after using it faithfully you will notice clearing of the skin. The package includes a cleanser, toner, skin lotion that is extra gentle on your face and leaves it feeling soft, and it may come with a facial mask that also helps control acne. The bonus is that it's inexpensive. Try it

I don't know...I heard a story that in like a week this guy (who had so much acne he looked like a tomatoe) bought it and it made him look normal, but my friend De'Andra uses it and I don't see any difference at all...so it might work for you, it might not. If they have a money-back guarentee then buy it and if it doesn't work then try something else...
Hope that helps!

I heard it was junk. I never used it cuz I don't break out, but a girl I know said it was not the miracle that they claim it to be.

Try it. I use Acne Free. You can get it at Target, Wal-Mart or a big sze at Costco. Acne Free works for me.

I would definitely get it now, without hesitation. I used it to clear up acne and continue to use it today because it keeps my skin pretty toned. I love it!!

It can work for you, but then sometimes it can't. It worked for me, but a friend of mine used it and he broke out more.
