I’ve been seeing Proactiv everywhere, being sold on TV, malls, and even the internet, its aggressive marketing strategy includes getting “it” Hollywood stars to endorse them. Vanessa Williams, Jessica Simpson, Brooke Shields, Kelly Clarkson, Elle Macpherson, and recently, press favorite Lindsay Lohan ( reading it from Ebeautydaily ) joins the bunch as spokesperson for Proactiv. Wow.
Proactiv is a solution for acne-prone skin. Developed by two dermatologists, Kathy Fields and Katie Rodan, experts in their own rights, they have spent five years testing and developing Proactiv, integrating “powerful acne-fighting ingredients with the latest advances in skin care”.
Proactiv is a skin care therapy system that promises to heal past blemishes, and keep new ones from forming via the three-step skin care maintenance that eliminates acne from its source. In other words, say bye-bye to acne forever, with Proactiv, backed by a 30-day money back guarantee.
I’ve been endlessly intrigued by Proactiv. I mean, hearing it from a classmate of mine who isn’t vain, or crazy about products, it’s totally phenomenal. During our reunion, I was exclaiming on how her better her skin looked. To my surprise, she started talking excitedly about Proactiv, whom she claims that totally healed her acne, and she didn’t mind splurging that much ( it’s not your normal drugstore brand price ) to achieve clear, and healthy skin. She also told me that her best friend (another non-makeup/product junkie ) introduced Proactiv to her, and made a powerful statement that it wasn’t her dermatologist that helped her with her acne, but it was Proactiv ( which really made my jaw drop, literally ).
Browsing the WWW for reviews about this products, I have read astonishing, passionate testimonials from people that Proactiv actually helped them gain their confidence by eliminating their acne problem, and I sense “happy” vibes from their posts. ( Oops, psychic? Haha 
) An effective acne treatment is always something to rejoice about, really, since half of the world spend all their lives just looking for products that work for them.
This might not work for all, since I’ve also read some negative remarks from people who have tried Proactiv, but you’ll never know if it would work for you, unless you try. Remember, no two people are the same!

I know some people who’ve tried Proactive. It didn’t work for them. =(
Ako, my MIRACLE anti-acne line has gotta be VMV. The oily skin line. =)
Oh my gosh, that is so sad! VMV? Yep, VMV worked for some people, though not all again. We all have different types of skin that reacts with different products. I feel sad for that someone who splurged her $$$ for Proactiv, but at least she was brave enough to try? Hehe
Let her move on to product # N!
ive tried this and my face didnt have bad acne, so this BLEW up like mad… meaning my skin got so red, dry and flaky cause the medication in it was so strong and powerful for my poor (normal, not acne!) skin! i say use this only if u have a real serious acne problem, or else your normal skin would just react to it in a bad way! if your skin is not that bad acne, you dont even need something as powerful as this
i would say just use this for those who have very serious acne. hope my comment helped a lil!
take care!
i’m a bit wary on proactiv since it contains benzoyl peroxide. bp is really good in fighting against bacteria, but it also tends to leave the skin with hideous dark spots…
which is a way awful…
yes, and i agree to what tata mentioned that some tried proactiv but didn’t work for them. i read reviews about proactiv and it seems it’s not a SUPER MIRACLE FOR ALL product after all.
it all falls into this category: hiyangan lang yan.
I had acne since my highschool days..I went to diff dermatologist in the country, trying to find out the solution to my problem..though it was controlled a bit, my skin problem was not totally elminated.. Until i took gluthatione and applied glycolic acid on my face.My face became clear, all blemishes and pimple marks are gone and i never had a breakout since.though i have some blackheads and whiteheads but thats not a big problem as ACNE..i wear make up evryday, and i also found the best make up remover ever.You shld try Body Shop Vitamin E cleansing cream, this one is really really good. .I’m not afraid to try diff products..its really true that whats works for somebody will also be good for u too.
