I had high hopes for this 3 step combination therapy plan. It didn't do a thing for me after one week of use other than my face was more oilier, and more breakouts. Plus, it smelled sooo bad, my...

Okay, here's the deal: it's not Pro Activ that's so great, it's the 2.5% BP ingredient in this product which is hard to find as a lotion (too harsh as a cleanser). The only other product out...

Proactiv, if you stick to the regimen religiously, is very effective!! It does not irritate my sometimes very dry skin. Proactiv leaves my skin soft and smelling great!!! I have not had a new...

This is the only benzoyl peroxide product that clears my skin COMPLETELY. Whenever I stop using it, I break out, especially around my forehead area. This Proactiv product is a must for me,...

I used the ProActiv three-step system a few years ago, and while it did clear me up completely at the time, my acne came back with a vengeance shortly thereafter. As a result, I decided to throw in...

It works. I still break out but I think that's stress/hormonal related. What it did do for me is transform cystic acne to manageable pimples. I can actually pop them the day I notice them....

It does wonders whilst using it, however I found that it caused me "re-bound" acne. My skin was great during the use but when I stopped, because it came drying, my skin got worse!

This 2.5% benzoyl peroxide treatment is in a gel form and is easy to work into the face. However, it has an awful artificial smell (other 2.5% bps w/o fragrance don't smell this strong). I love how...

Good acne reducing product!! After a week, I saw a huge difference! This product will dry you out a little so you must wear a moisturizer.
