: : I was easily fooled by that dumb infomercial with Judith Light that promises clear skin with their fake before and after shots. I ordered the product, and started using them much to my discontent. This product made my mild acne worse, and I definitely got more bumps on my cheeks because of this product. They had a money back guarantee after a 2 month trial, and so after the 2 months, I returned the products hoping for a refund. Within the 6 months of returning the crappy products, I never received my refund, so I decided to write them a letter, which later got me my refund. Readers, DO NOT order the ProActiv Solution because all it does is make your skin more sensitive, and aggravates your acne.

: : I am sorry to hear that ProActiv did not work for you. As in all therapies and medications, they may not work for some people.
: : I felt compelled to reply to you because I've been using the product for 4 months. I am a 53 yr. old grandmother and have
: : had therapies of every kind, including dermatologists prescription medications which only 'arrested' the problem while I was
: : using the medication. I've had an acne problem since beginning of surgery which brought on early menopause. I ordered
: : ProActiv as a last resort. Although the acne has not comletely been 'cured' (there's no medical cure for this condition as yet),
: : my skin and acne has most definitely been improved. The breakouts are greatly minimized and the 'spots' have cleared up
: : very nice. I no longer wake up and cringe when I look in the mirror. Actually, I was looking for a way to send a message to
: : the makers of ProActiv to congratulate them for this great product, instead I found your message and as I said before, felt
: : compelled to reply to your message.
: DAY 3: YOU ARE RIGHT! PROACTIV DOES NOT WORK AND YES IT DOES MAKE EVERYTHING WORSE!!! DON'T BUY IT I WILL TELL THE REST OF YOU!! I AM RETURNING IT TODAY, FREE MASK AND ALL! ~KIRA
: Oct. 23, 2000: I was going to purchase ProActiv, but after reading all of these negative messages about ProActiv, I will definitely not buy the product. I guess I will just have to stick with my dermatologist for right now, but if you have scars from your acne, that is severe. One could get a skin peel, to get rid of those scars.
