It does for some people, but there are similar treatments available at a drug store. This is a link to an expose from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation about Proactive: http://www.cbc.ca/streetcents/archives/guide/2001/01/s02-01.html

I never really had bad acne but I decided to get it just because I had the occasional bump or pimple. At first my face was glowing I got so many compliments but after awhile that effect wore off and my skin went back to normal in my opinion dont waste your money.

i used pro-active for a year and it didn't work as well as i thought is should...first it took almost 3 months before i started to see results...and then my face got clear, but after a while my skin got use to it and my face broke out worse than before...so i went to a drug store and picked up some biore which is an over-the-counter product and i saw results within 2 weeks...also i went to my doctor and he pescribed me Tetracycline and i use both everyday and i haven't broken out since...so to answer your question, dont even bother with pro-active because it costs way too much money to have to wait that long just to see results...just get a good face wash at the drug store or go to your doctor...don't waste your money on pro-active.

it did for my step sister who had acne terribly bad.. it works for my boyfriend who just started using about a month ago.. his skin had a medium amount of pimples.. and it works for me.. when i actually take the time to use it.. i have good skin so i don't have to use it that much. i think it's worth a try and maybe it doesn't work for everyone from what i've heard but for all the people i know that have used it.. it works.

yes. but so would any other product with the same active ingredients.
the cleanser has 2.5% benzoyl peroxide
the astringent is 2.5% salicylic acid
and the lotion has 2.5% benzoyl peroxide
you can find products just like them, and probably cheaper at a drugstore/walmart/target

the stuff you can get anywhere else works just as good...proactive just costs a lot more!

Its different for every person but it works on me!
It kinda dried out my skin at first but as long as you use it with a separte face moisturizer (I love clinique's moisture surge) you're good to go.

actually it's all about one ingredient in it called Retinal. It can be found in lots of products that yu can find. It rejuvinates your skin, causing new skin growth.
