Proactiv Solution Acne Treatment Review Summary

Different strokes for different folks! Our acne prone reviewers are decidedly split on the benefits of Proactiv Solution. This "acne solution to the stars" cleans and moisturizes and keeps stubborn acne at bay, say our pro Proactiv Solution advocates. However, some reviewers report that it didn't work for them and it was very drying to their skin. The best advice we can give you is to give Proactiv Solution a try and see if you are one of the ones who absolutely love it as many of our reviewers do. Comparing acne treatments? We have many reviews for you to read!

The regular Proactiv didn't work for me.  I was going to get my money back, but they suggested I try the extra strength.  Of course, I was willing to give it a try because WHO WANTS ACNE?!  If the extra strength didn't work, they would still give me my money back.

The extra strength was just what I...

Quick View: My then 20-year-old son suddenly started breaking out. Never one to have any sort of acne problem before, he freaked. He tried Murad's system and it was OK but, like his Mom, an infomercial got to him. It was for the ProActiv line. He signed up on the ProActiv website and got his first kit,...

Proactiv Solution 


I am thirty something and I've never had an acne problem before. I watched several Proactiv Solution commercials and I was impressed how it worked. I ordered my first month trial just to see if it would help my acne problem. It was easy to order Proactiv Solution on their website at proactive.com.

The 3-piece 30-day Trial System comes with the Renewing Cleanser, Revitalizing Toner, and Repairing Lotion. You also get the Refining Mask or Green Tea Moisturizer, Face the Facts guide, and the Clear Skin Club membership as a free bonus. The introductory price is $19.95 plus S&H.

Years ago, I saw an infomercial of "Proactive" and bought it (the kit which included the mask) for my brother and me. Supposedly at that time, it stated in the informercial that it is also for those with "sensitive skin." SO NOT TRUE! Since the first application, it burned my brother's face and also mine. I have sensitive skin but my brother doesn't but we both got the same reaction about this product; "It burns!" IT HURTS! It is not gentle at all. So we stopped using it and I called to cancel the automated shipping and was asked why I wanted to cancel. "You can cancel... no questions asked." Yeah... review »

keeping my skin clear, into anti-aging creams, troubled by acne

I saw the "infomercial" and ordered Proativ about 1 1/2 years ago because I suffered from teenage and adult acne (38 yrs old now). I used the daily regimen of products and my face cleared up. I was thrilled. Then came the day when I couldn't afford it anymore and WHAM...my face looked worse than before I had ever started using it. I would only recommend Proactiv if you can afford to pay for it for the rest of your life (which I couldn't). I am now using a couple of different products which I will do a review on a little later.

I have had poor skin for about 10 years.  I have tried antibiotics, micro dermabrasions, chemical peels, every single over the counter and on the shelf topical treatments and nothing has worked for me.  Someone suggested I give Proactive a try so I figured nothing else has worked this couldn't possibly hurt to try. WRONG! Proactive made my skin worse than it had ever been. I usually suffer from blackheads and whiteheats and red blotchy skin, well after using this I had cystic acne. The most painful large and deep pimples ever.  It was to the point where looking in the mirror made me cry.  I... review »

I have suffered from bouts of acne on and off since I was a teen. I was on medication for a long time as I began to suffer from acne on my back. When I became pregnant with my first child I could no longer take the medicine so I tried Proactive. It really worked! I noticed a difference within a few days. After my pregnancy I continued to use Proactive instead of going back on my acne medication. I have used it for over 6 years now. My skin has never looked better. You do need to find your routine as some of us have more oily or more dry skin and may not need to use the acne treatment every day... review »

Even as a teen, I never suffered from acne. But years later, bam! Adult acne set in. I tried various over the counter remedies, without success, and finally sought help from my dermatologist. He chalked it up to stress and hormones, then prescribed a regimen of prescription topical products and pills. None of this worked, so I went back and got a different prescription, which still didn't work. Finally, in desperation, I tried ProActiv.

Normally, I don't buy anything hawked in an infomercial, so I was skeptical about the effectiveness of the product line. To my surprise, ProActiv Solution worked...

Proactive will clear up your acne in a week. You will see results in two days. I've used clear skin, Neutrogena, Noxema, and Avon products and none of these worked for me. Proactive brighten my skin and its less oily too. I get so many compliments when I go out in public. Now you know I will be telling them to try it out. People usually ask me what kind of makeup I'm wearing because my skin is flawless and smooth. I smile and say no make up can get your face this smooth its Proactive. There are so many products out there standing behind their word of what the product can do but it don't deliver....

a beauty diva, keeping my skin clear

I am 23 now, but when I was a teenager, I used to have really bad acne on my face, chest and back, I mean REALLY bad. I tried all of the teen things like noxema, clearsil pads, nature's miracle (pills and lotion), cetaphil, everything over the counter. Finally I went to a dermatologist who prescribed me oral medication (not birth control) and a special, really expensive cream that I had to keep in the fridge. Not only did this cream do absolutely nothing, but I had to endure ice cold lotion all over my back 3 times a day! Nope, nothing, nada... I had been watching the proactive commercials on tv...

My former roommate was throwing this out, so she gave it to me... I think she was just trying to help me out, really.  I have adult acne... actually, I've had acne since I was 11 and it never really went away... and I'm 29.  She saw what I went through to keep my skin clear and when I could no longer use Retin-A, she stepped up with this.  Anyway, I had a great day at the gym one day, washed up, slathered lotion all over the place in preperation for the sauna (seems a little backwards, but I shave and rinse afterwards) and I decided to try this for in the sauna, thinking it would set in and...

Before:

This product isn't what they make it out to be. Yes, it made my skin better but better than OTC? No, the same. The best to do for acne really is prob. go to the dermatologist, if this doesn't work, then prob. try natural alternatives like vitamins and natural cleansing products like LUSH or bath and body works. I tell you what, if you have sensitive skin like me, putting these harsh chemicals on your skin won't work. You need natural products like I use this bath and body works that has grape seed oil extract and tea tree and never had anything work better. I use a LUSH mask and well LUSH...

I have been struggling with adult onset acne since my early twenties.   I went years without treating it as anything more than my own fault.   I didn't clean well enough, I was eating the wrong things, I picked at my face too much.   I thought if I could change all of those things then I would have clear skin.   Eventually, it came to be known, that my chin, in particular was ALWAYS broken out!   It never cleared up .... FOR YEARS.   I finally saw a doctor who prescibed a topical antibiotic and an internal antibiotic.   It cleared my up, but as soon as I finished the medicine, my... review »

My face wasn't too bad when I first tried this, the occasional breakouts, and some persistent acne that did not seem to go away. I decided to order Proactiv and with 3-4 days my face broke out really bad, worst it had ever been. I realized that this might happen as a cleaning of the pores was happening, but it was not getting better, after nearly two weeks I stopped using it, and slowly my skin cleared up. Because of all the success stories and some from friends I decided to try it again, and same results, broke out very badly. Stopped using it. Aveeno or the little bit cheaper Ambi both work great... review »

I bought Proactive thinking that I can finally get rip of the balckheads and pimples that constanly makes a way on my face.  I was tired of people telling how nasty my pimples looked or telling I really need work to my face.  By thethird day my face had broke out even worse than it was before.  I had patches on my face that were in a rash form and it was flacky and dry.  My face had started to peel and I was very unhappy.
