Customer Review: Won't Help Severe Acne, Helps Mostly Because People Develop a Hygiene Routine
Summary: 2 Stars
My teenaged son has had a bad case of acne for more than a year now. We've tried a variety of different medicines, one of which actually made his acne worse!
It seems like nothing we tried worked, so after hearing several friends recommend Proactiv, we decided to take the plunge and buy a 2-month supply, even though it's a little expensive. After using it for several weeks now, we've seen a very slight improvement in our son's acne, but nothing major.
We finally got fed up with all of the over the counter stuff and decided to visit our pediatrician. He told us that our son had 3-4 level acne on the Pillsbury scale which classifies the severity of acne from 1 to 4. Our doctor said that what's in Proactiv isn't really that much different than what's in most of the other over the counter products. He also said that the main reason people who used it showed some improvement is because it motivated people to be regular in their acne hygiene routine - something teens are notorious for not being faithful with.
What's more, apparently the latest research shows that in severe cases of acne there is bacteria under the skin that must be treated by antibiotics and that treating it superficially isn't likely to help much. So now we're moving from using Proactiv to using prescription antibiotics and some stronger prescription acne medicines.
Wish us luck!
If you have a less severe case of acne, then Proactiv might be for you: the main thing is to use it consistently. But if you have a severe case, it's not likely to help very much, and you'll probably have to get a prescription for something stronger.
Customer Review: Great Acne prevention product!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had acne since I was a teenager, not horrible but definitely something i was self concious about. Once I started using this product "properly" my face cleared up within a few weeks. I noticed though that everytime I skipped its use, something would pop up here and there. though it definitely kept my face smooth as a baby's. I do have to warn you that the chemical in the lotion, the benzoyl peroxide will bleach your towels and pillow covers! Make sure you use white sheets and white towels. This problem seemed a constant in my house until I notice that the only differnce between what my husband did on his pillow as opposed to me was that I had used the proactive, it bleached my brand new pillow case! Dissappointed as I was, i wasn't about to run out and buy a whole new sheet set! so for now I'm skipping the lotion at nights, I've also started skipping the cleansing (not intentionally) the last few nights and noticed my little acne friends popping up again.
So bascially this product works if you use it twice a day as adviced on the box! Just make sure you protect your linens!
Customer Review: A highly effective ance treatment product, but...
Summary: 5 Stars
Proaciv is a highly effective acne treatment brand but, here's the catch - you have to keep at it. Firstly, it takes a few weeks before you see significant results. This is the case for any acne treatment product really - you just HAVE to be consistent and give it time. So, folks looking for a quick solution to their problem (i.e. - clearing up your skin in time for prom or a wedding, for example) will be disappointed.
Secondly, it is not a magic potion capable of "curing" acne. Once you stop using the product, your acne will return unless you take active steps to maintain the health of your skin. It is often believed that merely using a product can be the only change made to help your skin. Clear skin is about more than just using the right brands.... having clear skin is about understanding skin.
Overall, I'd say use this product if you can afford to consistently buy it. If you can't, understand the ways to help keep your skin healthy since, if you don't take those steps, it is HIGHLY likely be disappointed once you stop using Proactiv.
Customer Review: Don't buy proactive from EOT pick another co. or go to Proactive site
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this item from this company EOT, they had this 5 piece set for 54.40, showing 4 oz bottles. Proactive had the same set of 4 oz bottles for 59.95. I decided to buy from the amazon site, because of my account and never had a problem before. We received the product and it was only 2 oz bottles. Because of my complaints to them, they are now showing the 2oz bottles for 99.00. Please go to the proactive site and get the same product for 59.95 and twice the size. Don't buy from this company EOT. Don't let them con you like they conned me.Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this product to anyone with acne. Put this on at night on just your blemishes and if you want leave overnight. If you see that your skin is getting a little dry here and there only use every other night. I don't recommend buying the whole pro-active system it totally made my skin burn and turn red, but that's just my reaction it may and can work for others, but for those of you with really sensative skin I recommend only this product and this is the only place that sells it by itself I believe.
