Apply a small dime-sized amount to dampened skin and gently massage with fingertips for 1 to 2 minutes.
It was a joke among the employees that we were selling bleach because Proactiv does for the skin what bleach does for the hair — It strips it of everything. I have just started Proactiv about two days ago and it burns, just a bit. Ive done so much research and it comes to show that Proactive is one pf the best choices until I can go to the dermatologist. As of the time I got Proactive a few days before i started proactive I started to notice my acne start to spread down my neck.
I just hope Proactive works because even my mom gets torn up over how sad I get. I had to stop using it. For dryness I recommend the hydrator. Dryness will lead to more breakouts. I have had the same reaction with other face washes.
My face gets red and inflamed and it itches like crazy! I have found that it is a reaction to the benzoyl peroxide in th product. I Have been using proactiv for a couple years. I never had acne as a teenager but started getting bad breakouts around I found nothing worked for me except proactiv. I only use it once a day because it does dry out the skin but I find if I use it everyday consistently it really keeps my acne at bay unless I am on my period.
But other then that I think Proactiv is a good product if you use it properly and consistently. It as been a month now that I used this product. I regret buying it at the kiosk. Last year, Proactiv Solution work wonders on my skin and I was a loyal customer to them. Why, because I hardly see the commercial on TV due to all these complaints. Nothing is happening, though. I went on YouTube channels to see the results people are having with clear skin, and they too say it takes weeks to clear up as long you continue using it.
It was like a serious reaction. Plus the dumb system. I personally have oily skin and large pores and have trouble with acne from time to time too. But not enough to really complain…Until someone handed me a bottle of something that was natural and money back guarantee for sure. I will never use anything else…not to mention simple so I want to share it just like you will too once you try it one time.
My brothers skin is not only healed up but the scar tissue from previous problems is less visible. You have got to check this out.
I completely agree! They have zero customer service response and yes, they make you jump through hoops to get a refund and then lie on the phone. You do all the work to get a refund, they drag their feet. I cannot recommend Proactiv enough as it changed my life. Proactive Plus made my skin much worse and bleached my sheets. Proactive Plus advertises a day money back guarantee. When I called for a refund, the agent gave me another phone number to call. I tried it several times and nobody ever picked up or returned my messages.
They advertise the day money back guarantee in commercials and on their website, but make it impossible to get a refund. Beyond the product not working, their customer service is HORRIBLE, I have had to call 3 times to get my account cancelled and called an additional 3 times just to get my refunds. Ive tried every product out there. It worked great, but came back once I stopped my prescription.
People need to understand that acne is hormonal, and using any product will not banish your acne forever. These products are made to fight acne, not cute it. At all. I have oily skin, too. After just one week of using Citrus Clear products, my skin has cleared up noticeably.
I totally agree. I tried to go back to the three step process and it now yields no results. Wish me luck! I have bought proactiv one time. Proactiv plus worked wonders for my skin from the first use my skin already felt so much smoother and by the next morning you can already see the acne subsiding , after a few months my acne completely disappeared!
It cleared my acne and left my skin really smooth, I stopped using it after a few months because it started to bleach my eyebrows and tips of my hair. So I say just try it, I will say that a healthy diet and excercise helps but in most cases is not the cure.
Good luck. This on top of the stress dealing with automatic payments was not worth it. My acne always remained. Before the Plus acne system, I tried the old system and that yielded no results. I had a very frustrating experience with Proactiv and would not recommend it without speaking to a doctor or dermotologist.
Maybe for some people it works but for me, it did nothing. After that and washing your face with warm, minimally soapy water, your skin will begin to look healthier. Used proactiv in the past and it cleared my skin fairly decent. After not being able to afford it, my acne came back within a year of not using it. Finally I ordered the new proactiv plus and have been using it for about a week now. I am completely amazed! In that little time my acne is completely cleared up.
At first it made my skin surface acne much worse and made them red. But it was only like that for about 3 days. I recommend proactiv plus for anyone suffering surface acne Tiny bumps on your skin that come to the surface but not like a pimple So happy with my purchase!
I also recommend buying on ebay you can find it cheaper! Proactive has worked well for me but the customer service is enough to make me want to just suffer with the acne rather than the stress of dealing with customer service agents who clearly got hit in the head a few times when they were young.
If you order online be prepared to get sent and charged for plenty of packages you never ordered and a reoccurring order you cannot cancel without canceling your whole account.
I used Proactiv every day and night diligently a few years ago. I was always getting compliments on how flawless my skin was, and it was flawless, no oil, pimples, whiteheads, or blackheads.
Unfortunately, I was unable to continue paying for it when I moved out and started paying for my own bills and groceries. Oh, to be young again. I was elated! I promptly went home and started my old regimen back up. I washed my face while I showered, applied the toner and lotion after drying off and went to bed. When I woke up the next morning my face felt like I had laid directly under the sun in Hell and itched like I had Poison Ivy leaves wiped all over, not to mention, I was swollen like a hamster with cheeks full of goodies.
I went to look in the mirror to see what was going on and, much to my dismay; my face was covered in ugly red blotches and hives. Terrible, really. Mind you, this was in the heat of the summer, and we were outside doing activities in the sun.
It was far too painful, so I spent that time indoors on beautiful days while everyone else enjoyed summertime. Needless to say, I tossed it except the toner, lotion and refining mask. Those I had no allergic reaction to, it was just the cleanser. Since I had such great results from the product I used years ago, maybe I can rejuvenate my face. Proactiv is not a good product as it only works temporarily.
The moment you discontinue using it, the acne comes right back. Dermatologists prescribe products that get rid of acne permanently. For me, it was Epiduo. I used proactiv for two years and the acne would come back after i stopped using.
After using Epiduo for a month and a half, i havent had acne resurface in almost a year and a half. Im on my 3rd week of proactive, and im also having breakouts much worse than before. Im losing hope so i tried to search for reviews if breakouts are normal, and ive read yours. I really hope this works for me as it worked for you.
Now i know that im not the only one experiencing this. Im from the philippines and it happened to me too. I got two products billed to me when they sent me the email.
I acted as soon as ive received the email before they get the chance to ship it. And i made may mode of payment to COD, so i can refuse easily if they send me some shit i didnt order. When I first started using it, I broke out even more and there were whiteheads and irritation around my pimples even more so then before.
I was hopeless. I try to let my face breathe but during the day. But I do use makeup that is on all day sometimes, so I have now changed my foundation to a oilfree and a noncomodogenic type Laura Mercier Silk.
After a week, the clusters of pimples on my one cheek have started to dry up and are not huge bumps. The other side of my cheek seems to need some time. That it is all the dirt and oil coming out of your pores. This makes me feel better, because little ones are just popping up out of nowhere.. Overall I was very unhappy about this past week. My forehead is super soft, my t zone is as well, much smoother than ever!
How long did it take for your acne to clear up? Do you have a favorite Proactiv Plus product? I was given a supply of Proactive Solution Products from my mother in Scandinavia. However, after using it for just a few days my skin really improved, feeling incredibly soft and looking fresh and glowing.
I will certainly continue to use it especially as it has hydrated my skin and the few lines I had diminished in a way I had not thought possible before — really a bonus! I started breaking out just 4 months ago, and after 2 months of no improvement, i finally decided to resort to proactiv plus system. Immediately after using their product, i started to notice my skin was getting worse. The lady told me to wait another two weeks and it will get better.
I listened to her and my skin is now worse than it ever was. After the first few calls of that, i finally got someone who actually had a working computer and managed to cancel my subscription. I recommend seeing a professional first before wasting your money on this.
And if the professional suggest to try proactiv, then see another professional. Proactiv worked for people I know, But I think it really all depends on the user! Thanks for any help on the issue!
It really all depends on the user. I know many people that swear by it, and then others that searched for years and tried proactive, but it didnt work.
Also, why would anyone want to pay so much money for an over the counter product like Proactive when the main active ingredients benzoyl peroxide are what you get in Oxy 10,etc? People need to be extremely skeptical of advertised claims. If it sounds too good to be true then for certain it is. I ordered Proactive Plus a couple of months ago due to suffering from hormonal acne, at age Once I started Proactive Plus, after a couple of weeks of mild break outs, my face is clear, even, and smooth.
I also have vitiligo loss of pigment-very white patches on my face and combined with dark spots from sun damage, a very uneven complexion. Proactive plus is doing wonders for the dark patches and my skin is now close to the same color as my vitiligo and looks more even!
I also purchased a PMD which I use once a week, if that, and my skin feels so soft with very few outbreaks! I love this line and love my clear skin, but Proactive really needs to stop being so aggressive and work on their customer service! They must offer one heck of an incentive to their reps to have so many cases of reps lying to customers, mistreating them, refusing to cancel or refund…Imagine, people preferring a vending machine to get their Proactive or canceling altogether just because Proactive chose to hire rude liars.
Seriously, this is a great product but they need to retrain their entire staff to be more honest and courteous. It kills me how on the commercial s they show peoples face with one or two little pimples on their face. I do see clusters on some of them.
I do also feel sorry for anyone with this disease. I on the other hand have all over body acne. Face chest back inner thighs on top and under my breasts and sometimes on my stomach area. The proactive did nothing for me what so ever. It was like using plain water. If it works for other that s great but not for me. I have a gold allergy and very sensitive skin.. I hate it! If u give me your email i could send you pictures.
Its terrible. Its softer on the skin but thats it. This is such a waste of money. In the beginning, when i applied it, my pimples started drying up, resulting into redness as well falky sking.
Please dont use it. I am a 39 year old Caucasian female. I have suffered with acne since I was 14 years old. My skin was always oily no matter what products I used on my skin. Everything made me break out. I have large pores also. Sign up and get yours today. Benzoyl peroxide: a review of its current use in the treatment of acne vulgaris.
