Re: Anyone use Proactive??
I have used it and it works great! The only thing with me is that I cant use it twice a day -its too strong and it makes my skin all red and blotchy but once a day worked great for me.

I used to use it. It worked for about a year, then stopped working for me. I hear that sometimes your skin can get used to it, so that may be why it stopped

I use it also and I agree with not using it twice a day. I use the cleanser and toner twice a day but I only use the lotion at night, it dries my skin.

Same for me....I use it and it works great...but I only use it once a day, not twice. I very rarely use the lotion though, I don't really feel like I ever need it haha I would def give it a try

I think it proped up to be this amazing problem solver... but in reality there are so many better products out there.

Re: Anyone use Proactive??
I've never tried ProActive but I swear by this cream called 'Mother of Pearl'. I bought after reading an article that Jennifer Lopez uses it daily (that cream is called Creme De La Mer, and its available at Neiman Marcus).
More info about the Mother of Pearl cream (Concha de Nacar) is here:
LOVVEEE IT! It has made my skin soooo much better. When I first started using it, it was drying my skin. Now, I only use the facial wash and the repairing tx. Then after the repairing tx I put my Avvenno moisturizer. No problems since I started doing it this way.

it worked for me for a couple of weeks and then just stopped. Like the other girls said it was a little drying on my skin. right now I swear by the Murad stuff. I use the blue ones.

Does anyone use Arbonne? I used to use Proactiv and it stopped working for me, but now I am using Arbonne and it seems to be working pretty well.

Re: Anyone use Proactive??
I've been using it for about 3 months and within the first 2 days i noticed a huge difference. The progress of clearing is slowing down. The lady who does my facials says that many times your skin gets use a product and it stops working. I use to use dermologica and that stopped working also. She said if i rotate between the 2 i should be good.
I would say get the trial kit for like $20 bucks and see for yourself

Re: Anyone use Proactive??
Yes!! I use it...and have been using it for 6 years. I took a year break, to try other options, and then ended up going back to it because it is the best.

Re: Anyone use Proactive??
I used to use it and it worked great. I never had acne, but it kept my skin clear. The only reason I stopped was because it dried out my already very dry skin.

Re: Anyone use Proactive??
I use AcneFree, which you can buy at CVS/RiteAid/Target, etc. Anyway, its just as good as ProActive, its $20. The reason I like it better then proactive is that I can buy it at my leisure, instead of being on an automatic refill like proactive.
