“Does Proactiv Solutions work? Is it worth the money?“
A Proactiv Solutions product review from an ex-acne sufferer who’s tried them all
You’ve seen the Proactiv Solutions infomercials everywhere. And top celebrities are now endorsing it…
But what’s the real scoop? Does it work? And is it worth the money?
Here’s the inside scoop from someone who’s tried Proactiv Solutions along with hundreds of other topical acne treatments.
What Proactiv Solutions is
Just in case you didn’t know, the Proactiv Solutions kit consists of 3 products; Renewing Cleanser, Revitalizing Toner, and Repairing Lotion. They have other products but these are their core acne products.
How Proactiv Solutions works
The acne fighting ingredients in Proactiv Solutions are benzoyl peroxide (both in the cleanser and the lotion) and glycolic acid (in the toner).
The benzoyl peroxide in the lotion kills the acne bacteria while the glycolic acid in the toner helps shed of excess skin cells.
What’s different about Proactiv Solutions
So what makes Proactiv Solutions different from the thousands of benzoyl peroxide products out there…?
Well, honestly….there’s not a whole lot of difference. The single greatest difference is Proactiv Solutions uses a much milder dose of benzoyl peroxide (2.5%) then most benzoyl peroxide products. And it adds to that the glycolic acid to help exfoliate the drying and peeling benzoyl peroxide causes.
Overall, it tends to be far less irritating then most benzoyl peroxide products.
Does it work…? What you can expect from Proactiv Solutions
Honestly, don’t expect any miracles. For many of you it will help…no doubt about it. But for just as many others it will cause the same dryness, redness, irritation, and peeling that most benzoyl peroxide products cause.
Should you buy it?
First understand…Proactiv Solutions does not cure acne. It only helps to reduce some of the symptoms of acne.
It’s only a temporary “band aid” . For lasting, long-term freedom from your acne you’ve got to “fix” the root internal problem causing it. How you ask…?

Having said that…
For some of you, it’s going to be worth a shot. Even though it is a little pricey you don’t have too much to lose by giving it a try (it does carry a 30 day money back guarantee).
My experience with it…
Before I cured my severe acne I tried thousands of topical acne products, including Proactiv Solutions.
Most irritated the $@#! out of my skin. And frankly while Proactiv Solutions helped it also irritated my skin. But to a much lesser degree of most topical acne products.
So give it a try…It’s going to help some of you deal with acne symptoms. But don’t expect any miracles.
My best advice if you’re thinking about giving Proactiv Solutions a try
First understand that you’re never going to cure your acne from any topical acne products (Proactiv solutions included).
Sorry, but you just can’t do it.
You’ve got to directly attack and “fix” the internal problem causing your acne. And topical products simply can’t do that.
So my best advice is go ahead and try some topical acne treatments like Proactiv Solutions. Find what topical acne products best help you deal with the symptoms of acne while you’re fixing the internal problem long-term.
Then do what you have to fix once and for all the problem inside your body causing your acne. How? Take the Acne Cure E-Course to discover how.
acne alternative treatments and cures
dear readers,
proactive is defenatly worth the try, I have toms oof friends that have tried it and not only has it reduced the redness and size of their pimples but also 95% of them have disapeared. I’m not saying it’s going to work for everyone. But I know how you feel, Im at a verry young age, and I aswell have a acne condition. Acne can change a person. It lowers their self-isteme and makes them feel not pretty. Although we all know under all that skin is a gorgous person. Everyoen is different, so everyone has to be treated differently. I’m saying this is something everyone wants to get rid of, so I’m telling you proactive MAY or MAY NOT work for you. But I”ve got something that will definatly help you get clearer skin and a halthier body. it’s called healthy eating! I know it might sound easy, but it’s not! I’m still working on trying to eat healthy. It’s harder than you think but I”ve done it once and my skin looked pimple free and I felt GREAT! There a few different things you have to keep track of… there are no exceptions. You’ve got to do exactly this, if you don’t follow these steps it will make a difference. You have to drink a ton of water a day, and I’m talking to whole bottles of 200 ml and if you can do more. Water flushes all the bad toxins and from your body. Then you can’t drink any sugary drinks.. If you can pull that off, you won’t believe the difference. Also no cupcakes, sweets, teats.. And I know halloween’s comming up. But hold it together! As a read from a book ( Magie Bean ) ” cakes we like, cookies we love, and candy we adorebut clear skin, feeling good and staying healthy we like more ( I changed it a little) Just think of that every single time before you eat a treat over 50 calories. Also, there’s a new thing found! Acne is also caused by white flour, so eat whole weat! it might not taste as good but you’ll look better than ever!
good luck

also, you have to keep going with it, once you stop and slack off, the ugliness off the red mountain’s will return!
anyways it’s hard to keep it going for a long time. But when you notice that ur skin is looking better, don’t stop cause it will return
:/

Ok for most of you IDE like to say in my words that proatic is my life savior ! Here’s my story….. I’m 19 and my acne was bad.let me just say u could not see my face.I have spent more than 1000dollars on acne solutions and as well as dermatologists. They told me it was dary that was causeing my acne.I didn’t eat or drink any dary.it works for like two pimples. And then I moved to a sorority and all of those girls all had the most BEAUTIFUL. Skin and I was ugly.they were all using proactive!I tryed it..a month later or not even my face was beautiful. I felt sexy beautiful knowing I could go shooing and even outside with out wearing makeup!!I love it sooo much! I would definetly recamend this for people 12 and up that proactive is AWESOME!!!
I to bought into the idea that proactiv would solve my acne problems. So I went out and bought the 60 dollar kit, and after about a month of using it, I saw SOME results. However I was still not satisfied with the results. So I bought more and more. This continued for about six months, until I finally realized that this was just not working. I do have some friends who have perfectly flawless skin because of proactiv. All I can say is that this product, like all the others, works wonders on some people, and others are just not “cured”. I agree, you have to find something out there that works for you. Everybody’s different.
!@#% active that shit doesn’t work especially on whites like me
Proactiv isnt worth the money.!!!!!! Neutrogena Is Way Better.!!!! Dont waste your time.!
Neutrogena’s Website is even better,it has more color to it Then Yours.! GO TO Neutrogena NOW.!!!!
proactiv does not work i tried it for months and my face still look the same white
i don’t know if it works.
ok, ive been using proactiv for 3 months now exactly how im supposed to. I have seen no results at all and right now I am actually having the worst break out I have ever had and still using proactiv. I am very upset with my skin and I dont understand why it wont work. I drink enough water and use it as directed but it wont help at all.
how long do you have to use proactiv untill your whole face clears up?pleaz!i need to know
give me the best place to buy proactive product of acne n confirmation for its effect….
Well I tried proactiv, and I think it works, I’ve been using it for almost 2 months, and I have seen results. At first you won’t notice it, I didn’t notice my acne had gotten better, but the I looked at a picture from before the proactiv, and man did I have acne?! D: But it definitely went away, I have 3 pimples left and that’s it. I’m just a typical teenage girl, who wakes up with another pimple… [But yes try it, it will be worth it]
idk about proactive my brother uses it and his skin is way better than before he tried proactive just dont try epiduo it doesnt work!!!!!!!!!!! plus it hurts a lot!!!
i am using iot right now and it seems to be breaking out my face more
My face looks exactly the same as it did 2 months ago. I was promised a massive improvement last month. Turns out my scars only cleared (which is the only thing i like out of this)
im way scared i have acne around my chin its groos and emberessing & most of ppl say oro-active doesnt work and i orderd it!!
proactive good or not
proactiv does not seem to work in tropical countries like jamaica. i ordered it didnt get any results.:-( clean n clear / neutrogena is much better, trust me they work
After seeing so many commercials about proactive i decided to buy it yesterday. When I first used it yesterday it felt amzing. I woke up today and noticed alot of the mild redness I had the day befor was barley noticible, which was fantastic. Hopefully as i continue to use it, the results will just get better and better.
p.s the reason alot of the people are having breakouts after using proactive is becuase it is cleaning out your pores and in order to do that the dirt and oil must escape through the pores. When that happens your skin does look irritaed but really all proactive is doing is it’s job,.
clean and clear and clearasel don’t do a thing, is Proactiv worth a try or not, should I talk to my doctor?
Proactiv worked so well for me. Obviously, everyone’s skin is different, so it won’t work for everyone, but after about 2 months of using it, it totally cleared my acne. The one thing I learned is not to touch your face. Popping pimples makes you break out. But other than that it’s great.
