yes, it works very very well.
i have used it for about two years now, and i have not had but one zit since. it won't work if you don't do it properly though. meaning set a pattern, what time every day, how many times a day your going to use it, and using all of the products that come included in the package.

i didn't have a good experience with proactive only because i am allergic to benzoyl peroxide and that is actually one of the main ingredients. But if your not allergic to it then it will probably work Ive heard many people say that its very effective. Benzoyl Peroxide is one of the key ingredients when fighting acne so I'm sure it probably will work.
If not you should visit a dermatologist especially since you have severe acne. Thats what i had to do and the treatment he set up for me has been very effective.

I have been using it for about 2 years now, recommended to me by a friend who had severe acne. I had problems mostly with large pores and whiteheads and blackheads and an occasional pimple but it has done amazing things for my skin. I am a true believer and so is my friend.You must follow the directions faithfully though. Good luck!

It depends on the person. For me it worked just like the other acne meds did. I use Noxema and it works lovely. Clear face. But you have to stay ON TOP of it.
Good Luck

a friend of mine ordered it for her son and it didn't work for him, however; she gave it to me to try and it has been an absolute miracle! IN 2 days, the 2 spots were almost invisible.
I think it may have worked for her son if he would of used it correctly...give it a try..I didn't buy it when I saw it because I am skeptical too as I have been burned by advertising.
Good luck

I used the Pro active for about a year and while it did clean my skin it did not get rid of all the pimples. It also depends on your skin type.... try it you got nothing to lose. If it does not work, try something else.
