Proactiv 3 Step Acne Treatment

I used this for like 10 or more years, and then for some reason stopped. I think someone said it was too harsh. My skin did okay for about five years using other products, then as I got closer to menopause, I started breaking out badly again! I ordered this up, and a month later, my skin is soft and smooth, scars are fading, and there are no new breakouts. DON'T BE FOOLED! The imitation products (like ACNE FREE) are NOT the same quality. They are much harsher and burn. Proactiv does not burn at all. It just works.

Doing exactly what it’s supposed to. I’m likely going to wait until it’s closer to done to add photos. I bought this for my teenage daughter whose skin was going through a rough patch. She was already a daily cleanser and has used different products for acne that weren’t working. This pretty immediately started to calm things down. Her skin looks significantly better than it did when she started. The repair isn’t as moisturizing as she likes. It leaves her skin kind of dull. I’d recommend another moisturizer if you want a different outcome, but I didn’t think it was worth removing stars. This is making her acne vanish and that was our goal. I plan to purchase one of their other moisturizers to help with her secondary goals.

This product is exceptional; it fulfills every one of its claims. The 3-step skin system removes the bacteria which causes acne. The light-weight moisturizer keeps skin from over drying which can stimulate more oil production. I buy this product monthly for my teenaged granddaughter and grandson.

I purchased this Proactiv kit during a period of extreme stress breakouts, and it definitely did the job. It’s an old classic for a reason. While I do recommend something stronger if you’re dealing with more severe or stubborn acne, this set is perfect for maintenance and keeping your skin in check. The size of these bottles are super convenient and great for keeping in a gym bag, travel suitcase, or even just as a backup. If you’re debating a bigger size and you’re not buying it specifically for travel, go for the larger version; it’s more practical for regular use. Overall, a solid routine that works reliably and won’t irritate your skin. Oldie but still a goodie!

Authentic product and price is cheaper compared to those sold in other platforms here in the Phils. What’s good with Amazon is that they offer free shipping and no import tax to the Phils for a certain amount of purchase. Very fast shipment to the Phils. Very smooth transaction as well from order placement to delivery. The product is very effective as expected since it is authentic.

Bought for my granddaughter and seems to be clearing her face up quickly.

The product is good I order it for my granddaughter. IT WORKS. I haven't ordered it in about 2 years so she asked for it again but when I opened the box I got what looks like yravel sizes. Rather deceiving.

I've been using Proactiv since 19 and I am a guy. I'm 28 now and it still works great. Here are some tips. - Use it every morning when you wake up before or after breakfast, and use it every night when you're about to go to bed. Don't miss either of them. - Give it 6 weeks of doing twice every day. If you miss even just one of those two, it will show. - Use water-based moisturizer after step 3, always. Irritated skin = acne. - DON'T touch your face, ever. If you want to pop some pimples, use q-tips. Just don't touch the ends. - Buy Proactiv's refining mask and use it every three nights. It will last 3+ months easily, it'll give you a break for one night from using the 3-step routine (4-step if you're using water-based moisturizer, and you should be) and it'll help to extend the amount of product you have. It's also just a great product. I also don't use the water-based moisturizer after using Proactiv's refining mask. However, if I needed to go back out, or I planned on doing something, I would. It would be necessary then. - DON'T make a ton of facial expressions until you have put on the water-based moisturizer. It will cause you to break out. - You may notice some white streaks or dry skin on your face, especially around your eyes and neckline, just use a wet hot washcloth and gently swipe against it. They will go away. - For those of you with oily skin like mine, don't use any facial cleansers or blot shots in the middle of the day. It will cause your skin to dry out even more, forcing your body to produce more, causing more breakouts. Instead just splash your face with warm water and gently pat dry it. Lifestyle changes. - Routinely get 7-9 hours of sleep a night. - I personally meditate for stress and anxiety. I swear by the mobile app Headspace (available for both iPhone and Android, $13 a month). It not only helps me immensely mentally and emotionally but also it helps to stop breakouts also. Stress = acne. It doesn't need to be meditation but find something that makes you calm, focused, and think clearly. - Drink enough water. "Enough" varies from person to person. Just find your right amount. - Exercise, preferably in the sun, and sweat. It definitely helps, especially for those of you, like me, who have really oily skin. - Wash your sheets every week. Not every other week, or every month, or every whenever. Actually wash them every week like clockwork. Just some final words. I know Proactiv is pretty expensive when compared to other acne products but it actually does work. I stopped using Proactiv a while ago to find more affordable options. I have tried Neutrogena facial washes followed by water-based moisturizers, Humane's Benzyl Peroxide along with their toner, and AcneFree 3-step routine, and all of them failed. Humane came the closest, especially with the toner, but it still didn't give me the clear skin I was looking for. I was going to try the acne pill, as it also has 5-stars rated by a lot of people but I'm not a big fan of taking pills. I also found out that they will send you another shipment of their product for free if you give them 5-stars (as one of their reviewers stated). Yes, it is moderately expensive. But having good self-esteem and confidence is something that is really worth the value. Being able to ask that person out, doing well in a job interview, just not having people stare at your acne instead of you when you're being rung out at the grocery store, etc. There are plenty of circumstances in our day-to-day lives where we need to present our best possible selves. I also have to mention that for those of you who are concerned with the cost, if you order from Proactiv's official website, the payments are split between 3-months. So I ordered a 90-day shipment from them and I pay only $20 a month. I ordered this 30-day shipment from Amazon because I went through the product somewhat quickly and while I haven't ran out yet, I just wanted to make sure that I had a small back supply just in case if I did to hold me over until my next shipment arrives.
