Just got proactiv, have any of you experienced any problems with it?

Question

used it for about 2 days and nothing really happened yet. has it helped you? if not, what did it do?

Answer 1

i used proacive for about a year and I nevr really got any results. So I went to the dermatologist and started using diferin. it has completely cleared upmy skin and i get told my skin looks flawless!

Answer 2

i have sensative skin, so the toner made the skin around my mom really flakey and crusty. but thats it. also, beware. sometimes the proactive will actually make you more pimply before it gets rid of them.

Answer 3

its really good

but always moisterize ur face

i never did and now my face is soo dry

hope it workss for u :)

Answer 4

Proactiv has not helped my acne at all! I started getting frustrated because it's supposed to work in 2 weeks. I used it for a whole month and still no results. You can try it but don't count on it.

Answer 5

I have proactive and i love it ! Its the best product i have tried so far and believe me I've tried alot! for full results it takes about a week to 1 or 2 months, its along time but watching it get better will totally surprise you !

make sure you have a good moisturizer because if your skin doesn't have that much oil it could dry it out and make it flaky

hope i helped:)

P.S if you notice that your getting more pimples its because the proactive is bring the dirt up to the surface of your face then it clears it all away. So don't freak out its just deep cleaning.

Answer 6

i used it for a while, but i didnt like it bc it dryed my skin out rly bad. other than that, it works well. :-)

Answer 7

DUDE IT TAKES LIKE MORE THAN TWO DAYS TO WORK! BUT YES IT DOES HELP:]

Answer 8

proactive doesn't work--you should try a neutrogena face wash, they do work for certain types of acne. If that fails, then i would just use the pill (acutane) because that will definitely work.

Answer 9

its a rip off

im sorry to say that but it really is

ide get your money back before its to late

It doesnt miracously clear up your face in 3 days

It did nothing for me but break me out with a rash and give me oily skin

Answer 10

When I first got Proactiv, it didn't start working for about a week. That is when you start to notice changes. However, if you don't use it faithfully (in the morning and at night), then it won't work properly. If you do, though, it'll work. Also make sure to use the Refining Mask for spot treatment during the night.

Good luck.

Answer 11

It didn't help me it just made my skin oilier. But it worked on my sister so it just depends on your skin type.
