Proactiv Solution

Undeniably the most popular acne product, Proactiv Solution has been promoted by dozens of celebrities on infomercials for years.

I tried this product for approximately four months, receiving all five components of the kit. I followed the instructions exactly as directed, and began seeing results in one week. My skin was nearly completely clear, but after three to four weeks, it had completely stopped working. My breakouts were nearly worse than ever, and I resorted to spending over one hundred dollars to visit a dermatologist.

She prescribed me a 10% benzoyl peroxide cream as well as a moisturizer. I will explain my results with this in my next post.

Basically, my dermatologist simply said that Proactiv just works for some people, and some not. It all depends on the type of skin the user has.

I recommend Proactiv for someone with mild to lightly moderate acne, in addition to using the mask that comes with it one to two times per week. Also, you should probably apply 10% benzoyl peroxide if you’re not seeing results within a few weeks of the first application. I believe the cream that comes in the kit is just 5%, maybe lower.
