Proactiv Solution 3 Step System Kit —

Proactiv is a great acne fighting system, dont get me wrong, and while it may be a tad too harsh for people with dry skin...for the majority, I do believe it works. The problem with Proactiv isn't efficacy, per se...it's how ironically SHORT it takes for the results to wear off; the results of Proactiv wear off as soon as you stop buying..even if that is a day of not using the product. Now I know you're thinking "Okay, well if you have acne and you stop using a product that fights acne...you'll just get returning acne". No. This product gives you clear skin by the first two weeks, after the first two weeks you will have a break out....then the next week you will be all clear. Now here's the kicker, once you run out of product..the VERY next day your skin will revert back to Square 1 immediately, no joke...only it will be worse than it ever was before. This is probably the only acne-fighting system that almost punishes you if you DONT use it on a daily basis. You will get an influx of blemishes if you stop using it for a day. It's almost unbelievable. I recommend this for someone who wants to stay on a skin care regimen and has no intentions of stop using the product. If you would like to explore other options, I suggest you do so before using Proactiv, as the system will severely punish you for not using it consistently.
