Acne is a Thing of the Past with Proactiv!
I used Proactiv in previous years, and their three-step system combated my cyclical and occasional acne like a miracle. My biggest fear was that it would be too harsh, but with the money-back guarantee I had when I purchased it, I was confident I could return it if it didn't work. There was NO returning--I fell in love with these complementary products! I remember purchasing a set for a friend w...read moreho was upset over her combination skin and continual break-outs. She couldn't have been more pleased by the time she finished the first kit, and she continued to order them. I saw what a true transformation this three-step system can create when my nephews--all fair-skinned--developed severe cases of acne in high school. They had had perfect, baby-like skin and then were suddenly besieged with blemishes! Nothing helped them and they were understandably self-conscious and actually didn't want to be seen (they were not shy). My sister bought this particular kit for each of them and made sure they used it religiously (regularity in use seems to be the key here). Within just a short time, their complexions went from red, blemished-filled, and blotchy to clear, smooth, and fair again! The products work for even those with sensitive skin, as they contain a relatively low concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%). The best part? They did not suffer from raw, scaling, peeling complexions as Proactiv worked. The whole idea behind Proactiv is to address acne as a whole, not just on particular annoying spots. Their faces were flawless and smooth, and so were their shoulders and backs. Just a word of warning here: Benzoyl Peroxide can possibly bleach colored clothing, so wear something underneath to prevent this from happening, especially if you are using on your shoulders and/or back. Put a plain white pillowcase over any colored one. With Proactiv on the market, acne is becoming a thing of the past--finally!

An End to Acne--Finally!
Proactiv was not available when I was a teenager, but my three nephews all suffered from terrible acne in high school. My sister purchased this kit for each of them and made sure they used it religiously. Their complexions began to clear immediately--with no redness or annoying, flaking skin--and within a matter of weeks they no longer had a blemish. Their faces have remained spotless. When I ...read moresee teenagers with lots of blemishes, I'm tempted to mention the multiple benefits of the Proactiv system, but I stop myself. I've rarely witnessed products act so beautifully!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 13 of 15 people said helpful
