Proactiv Review

Proactiv Acne Solution

Proactiv is 3 step topical acne treatment system designed to treat your whole face, clear acne and prevent further acne outbreaks before they start.

Proactiv uses a combination of finely-milled, prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide and natural botanicals like allantoin, panthenol, aloe and chamomile to exfoliate the skin, unplug pores, eliminate acne-causing bacteria, and reduce inflammation and redness.

The supplier claims that Proactiv is mild enough to use every day and will clear your skin without the drying, peeling, or chemical smell you find in many other acne other products. According to proactiv, results come within a 4-8 week period on average.

Complete clearing can take from 3-6 months. Based on observations from tests conducted by Drs. Rodan & Fields, who's research indicates that over 85% of people with mild to moderate acne will see improvement within 3-6 weeks.

    Proactiv User Reviews

Our Research on the Proactiv System Suggests:

According to the general online consensus, while many users were very happy with Proactiv's performance in clearing their acne, they also frequently reported that new acne breakouts would occur when they stopped using the product. Some users reported that the product made their skin dry and flaky. A big plus for some users was the quick response from proactiv when asked for a refund.

Does Proactiv Work?

One of the main drawbacks of Proactiv is that it is designed to manage acne on the surface, and whilst it does that quite well it does not address it's underlying causes. For people with mild to moderate acne, this acne treatment is fine, it WILL do the job it promises.

Keep in mind that consistency is the answer to getting the most out of this product. Use it twice a day, and keep the treatment regular. Don't go missing a day here or there. This is the secret, not just with Poactiv but with most acne products. Proactiv can be a little harsh on people with sensitive skin, so if you are overly sensitive to Benzoyl Peroxide, consider another product that doesn't contain this ingredient or pay attention to your moisturizing routine.

"So, does Proactiv work? YES ...If you use it consistently."

While we consider Proactiv to be a good product to help manage your acne, it's not for everyone, because it only treats acne externally. You could also consider supplementing Proactiv with an acne product like like Acnezine, that will address the internal causes of your acne. This may seem like and extra expense but keep in mind that acne starts on the inside, so you are fighting this on two fronts. External and internal.

There are other acne products which are worth your consideration, that treat the acne from the inside where it starts, as well as on the surface. A big plus for proactive is the price. On a daily basis the treatment works out at $0.67 per day, and the merchants are so sure about there product that they will give you a full refund even if you return the empty bottles within 60 days.

Another big plus is their very responsive customer service. Most consumer reviews we have studied show a high satisfaction rate with the level of service they receive from Proactiv.
