I haven't personally used it, but several women I know swear by it. I mean like it's manna or something...

Everyone I know that has used it says that it really dries out the skin. So, only if you have really oily skin, you wouldn't need to supplement with a heavy moisturizer.

they're selling it in malls right now.

Buy it from the mail order I believe the price is cheaper.
There was a vending machine for it that I bought it from and all together it was just over $70.00.

The girl at the mall told me it pretty much came out to the same price as the one they sell on TV because you still have to add tax and shipping to the TV price

I thought the kit in the picture above was like $50.00 and that doesn't include the acne spot treatment, which is an additional $18.00. Add tax. Voila, $70.00.
At that price you ration/ use ever thing sparingly.

so tax and shipping add up to $50.00? Isnt it advertised for 39.00?

They have so many different packages, I guess you choose what you need, the more you pay the more you get. The one they advertise on TV is like 19.99 I think but thats only a one month supply, I bought the same kit at the mall for $25. But they were trying to sell me that $70 kit as well

Great responses!!! Keep'em coming!!!

I recently used it and it did nothing for me after a month, after trying this and many other acne medications I went to a dermatologist and he gave me antibiotics and acne medication for my face. After three months my skin is almost completely clear. One thing he told me was that it was not going to go away over night and that I had to be very consistent with my treatment and that different people react to different treatment differently so that not because one thing worked for that person was it going to work for me. So maybe had I used Proactiv longer, it may have worked or not you just have to give it a try and see if it works for you

I use it everyday as a face wash. I use a prescribed topical acne ointment
and take antibiotics every other month to help prevent bad breakouts.

I started getting periodic breakouts & nothing was working so I tried it, works for me. As far as drying out your skin it really can BUT you have to find the right balance for you. Like they recommend using the "drying lotion" every day & night, which would be murder on my skin. So I only use that when I see something erupting. I use the cleanser day & night, the astringent only @ night. You can also customize your kit accordingly - instead of one of each of the core 3 products (cleanser, astringent & drying lotion) mine has one cleanser & 2 astringents b/c I don't need as much drying lotion.

I also like their Oil Free Moisturizer for nighttime, it's awesome.

I only know of one person who it didn't work for but her skin is super sensitive & she can barely wear anything without breaking out

I've never tried Proactiv but I did the dermatology thing. The antibiotics and topical drugs they gave me worked really well. I had tried other types of treatment previously but they didn't help at all and actually made my skin worse. It is important to stay consistent with your treatment and NEVER sleep with your make up on.

I've had a few friends try Proactiv and they did not have great results. One friend said it bleached some of her clothes.

Why was the product on her clothes? How did it bleach their clothes?
