Experiences with ProActive?

My skin is a mess lately and I've heard some good things about it, but wanted to check here. Does anyone use it? Do you like it and feel it's a good value?

?

TIA!?

I never had a skin a problem until right before my wedding, which was probably due to stress. I used ProActive and my skin was flawless. Loved it. But only the face wash worked for me. The spot treatment and lotion gave me a rash.

I've used it in the past and it definately does work!

I started using it a few months before I got pg and I was really impressed with how well it worked.  I had to stop while I was pregnant b/c of the salicylic acid but I've been using it occasionally since I stopped BF.  I'm almost out so I need to buy more.  I can't use it every day, it really dries my skin out.  I usually use the face wash and toner as directed, but I really limit the lotion b/c that seems to be the most drying for me.  I only put it on the bad spots and I use my regular clinique lotion all over.  Much better.

I've used it for years; only the toner, though, as the wash seemed to break me out.  I love the toner.

my bf uses it and she swore by it then.

It works at first but after a few months it doesn't.  I have skin issues and the wash from proactive actually tears up your skin over time.

I have very sensitive skin and ProActive is to harsh for my skin (even the sensitive skin formula). It dried my skin out so much that it burned to put moisturizer on it. And it took at least a week maybe 2 for it to heal. My mom and siblings have used it without problems though because there skin is not super sensitive like mine. (I have to use dye/perfume free detergent or I'll break out in a rash just to give you and idea.) I use dermalogica and love it, and I use Differin (prescription) when I get a break out.

LOVE ProActive and have been using for about 5-6 years now. No complaints at all except it's pricey.  It doesn't dry out my skin at all, but that's prob partly b/c I have oily skin.  I def recommend trying it.

I used it for a long time and it worked great. I will warn you that if you use it at night, it would bleach my pillow covers. I think it was from the moisturizer. Good luck!

Julia, my sister swore by it and I think I'm about to try it out myself.  My skin has been awful since I got pregnant over a YEAR ago!

I used it religiously years ago and it was great. I felt like I became immune to it. My skin was flawless during my pregnancy and now it's horrible. I've been thinking I need to try it again.

I used proactive when we moved here to Atlanta this past summer....I think the huge change in weather from San Francisco and the hot humid days here really made me breakout---it was the worst ever!  The proactive helped but I still continued to break out while using it...it was not as bad.  I tried it in a moment of desparation.  It's was a p good value for the money but I've used other products that I've liked just as much.

I use it and it works really well for me, but I have combination skin.  Their customer service is great, and don't hassle you if you need to cancel the subscription, or change how often you get the product.  Plus they also have 100% satisfaction guarantee, so I'm sure if you used it and didn't like it you could send it back.
