THis is just an okay product. I'm surprised by all the hype of it because any reviews I see that I read (like here), it doesn't do very well. It didn't sting my skin at all, but my skin does okay...

This was yet another thing I tried that promised to fix my acne. It did nothing. Honestly I felt as if people who thought it was a miracle cream hadn't been doing anything to their face at all. It...

Not strong enough for my acne. Works OK if you only have mild blemishes. It has only 2.5% benzyl peroxide. I prefer Clearasil Ultra, which has 10%. I also didn't like the way the Pro-Activ stuff...

When I'm dealing with individual breakouts, I like this product; all the other Pro Activ products aren't very compatible with my skin. It also has a pleasant smell. This has a thinner consistency...

I went off the pill recently after 14 years and started breaking out. Never had acne before and had to do something quick! I purchased a Proactiv kit. So far so good. I wouldn't stay this product...

When I use this liberally and loyally (every night), my break-outs are nil. I think for some people, benzoyl peroxide just doesn't work. If you do have acne and bp works for you, be sure to...

Terrible. I used this when I was 16, for a very short time, and I'm glad I stopped after reading what happened to some people. Save your money, even the people who say it's great, I'd be so so...

proactiv is really good at getting and keeping pimples away but right when you stop you start breaking out even worse then before.
