I used the products for over a year and other than the fact that they sent way too much toner and not enough cleanser it really made a difference in my skin. So much so that I have the acne under control now and do not need the product anymore!

This product line is the only one that does not dry out my skin and makes it feel smooth and clean, never greasy. I noticed results right away. I also have very sensitive skin, so I can't imagine anyone being sensitive to the product, if I wasn't.

I also did not have problem with the company that distributes the product. When I called and cancelled the club, it was taken care of immediately, with no problem.

I am not sure if the product works better on adult acne than teen acne, but it worked on me. I never had any acne in my teens. It started when I turned about 24 years old! I couldn't understand it. I tried everything and nothing worked until ProActiv.

Sincerely,
Kathy

: 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.
