Does "Proactiv" Work?

Question

Alot of people I talk to say its like really amazing, and others say its a complete scam and it doesn't work at all. Does it work? And are the people on those before and after infomercials real Proactiv users?

Answer 1

it all depends

it works in different ways for everyone

i haven't tried it so i can't tell you how it worked for me

Answer 2

i hear it works really well but that when you stop using it, your face gets disgusting and your body becomes like, dependant of the product. it kinda defeats the purpose of buying it in the first place...

Answer 3

nononononononononnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooo...

Answer 4

i personally think that it works but it just depends for different skin types and different people

Answer 5

NO!!! everyone i know said it was a big waste of money. i hated it. it did nothing but make my skin WORSE!

Answer 6

It may work on some people but you get really dry skin. And if you have sensitive skin your skin will be irritated and hurt. for non-sensitive skins it may work the first two bottles. but the third bottle for my sister her skin got used to the proactiv so she is using a new product now

Answer 7

From my personal experience, not for long.

When I started using proactiv I had previously been using a dermatologist prescribed face wash that was doing.. meh decent.  Proactiv did about just as good of a job as the prescribed stuff until a month into using it.  It stopped working.  I'm not sure why, and I've heard the same thing from other proactiv users, that it just stops working.

So it's not worth it.

Answer 8

=) I'm glad you asked this question. There is much confusion about this product, and I will give you the complete truth; it doesn't work for everybody, because everyone has a different type of skin. For some people (like me) it works great. For others (like one of my good friends, Sarah) it doesn't work at all. So, it really depends on YOU, not the product. And that's the way almost all over-to-counter-like medications (especially when it comes to skin products) are. If you want more assurance in a product to surely work for YOU, consult a dermatologist asking for a prescription that fits YOUR skin type. Good luck! =)

Answer 9

yes those are real proactiv users, and it did work for them. every skin care item works differently for people of different skin types. it didn't work for me, but it did for my friend. it just depends on you, but i would try it, they have a 60 day money back guaruntee.
