Proactiv Solution
I'm 26. After I tried all sorts of antibiotics, followed by Accutane (twice) and it didn't work, I saw the commercial and tried Proactiv Solution. That was about three years ago, I have been using it ever since. I don't use the 3-step system, just the Repair cream, and order it direct from the internet when I run out... full text >> | Excellent | |

Proactiv
Proactiv does a wonderful job at advertising because the photos in the commercials and on the website look very real and because of that, I decided to try the product.

Proactiv
Proactiv is supposed to be a great acne product. I do not have "sensitive skin" but I developed redness, blisters, and itching that lasted for weeks in the areas I used the Proactiv on.

Proactiv Acne Mask
I really liked how effectively this clay mask dried up the individual pimples, but it was too drying to use on my whole face. The color is off white and has a bit of a medicinal smell that I didn't care for, but it was very useful to literally dry up a blemish over night... full text >> | Good | |

Proactiv e Green Tea Moisturizer
While the 3 step Proactiv line was very drying to my skin, the Green Tea Moisturizer did offer some relief. It was expensive for the amount of product you receive, but it lasts quite a while.

my skin has always been very dry, and I have come to the conclusion that this caused my face to be more sensitive and produce more oil than needed and therefore, breakout a lot.

Overall I think that if you have severe acne and are commited to washing your face every day and night then I believe you will have good results.
