Most Helpful Positive Review THANK YOU ULTA This is my holy grail medicine for acne. I have used this since my teen years and it really works to keep acne at bay without ruining your skin. It's really hard to come by without buying the 3 step system. Thank you Ulta for offering it. I will now forever buy it at Ulta.
Most Helpful Critical Review Not the best, formula change?? When this first came out, it worked great, not so much this time.
I have a little bit of breakouts on occasion more in summer.
This isn't harsh and it smells good for an acne treatment BUT... it really did nothing even on some minor nose blackheads.
It is gentle but did nothing.
Not sure if this has changed or not seems like it did.
Will be returning, wish ulta disnt take so long to process refunds.

I use this product after I use my astringent and toner. After I apply it I apply my serum and moisturizer. It lightweight and easy for my skin to absorb. I work full time as a marketing manger and work out before work and then am a Barre and Pilates instructor after. This product protects me from any breakouts from sweating and staying active! Love and recommend!

Cass from Enoch, UT
I've been using this product for a long time and no longer need it... but when I try something else, my face goes crazy & until I use Proactiv again for 6 months it calms back down. I've tried to change out maybe 4x with the same experience.

Maintains my clear skin 5
DCS80 from West Hollywood
I swear by this. I do not need all the steps in this system. This helps maintain my clear skin. Been using since it has came out. I like that I can buy this step anytime I need to.
Yes proactive....yes 5
Neverendingnatalie from Southport, NC
I bought the skin repairing mask on a whim a month ago to help with my acne. I had tried Clinique and Mario bedusco (?) And they didn't help at all. I got the mask and after one night I noticed a huge difference. After that I bought the emergency spot treatment, then I gave in and got the 3 step system. It really does work and I feel bad for all the times I made fun of the infomercials. If you have acne and haven't had luck I suggest the 3 step system. This one specifically (step 3,) Really helps my break outs while moisturizing. If you buy this skip the green tea moisturizer (see my review.)
Made my acne worse 2
Madyson from California
I used this for 2 months and started noticing extra redness in my skin! My skin became more sensitive and I started getting big painful pimples. Wouldn't recommend

Best product for acne 5
Lisa from Excelsior Springs
I always go back to Proactive if I have a breakout. Even in my 50's, my face gets angry, either a product or stress can happen. Proactive products fixes the problem.
Does not work... for me 3
Anna from Grass valley
Okay I'm a little surprised all of the reviews are so great for this product. This is not for me, I have combo sensitive skin and don't suffer from serious acne but I have been using this for weeks now while my bigger blemishes have gone away I have little bumps on my face! This has done nothing to help with them and I find it to be a little harsh on my skin. This did wonders with my black heads though!
I considered this to be a life saver 5

Sunny from NJ
I do not have acne but I do suffer from blemishes. Bought the kit on a whim and it's the best thing out of the baskets full on skin care products that's is the gem. The fact that step 3 is available for purchase gets me excited! Time to rid myself of everything else because Proactiv is here!
I will absolutely be buying again! 5
... from AL
I have always struggled with very stubborn acne, and this is the only thing that has cleared it up. I use it twice daily along with the green tea moisturizer.
I would buy this product again 5
Dee from Dublin, OH
I like to try new things but I wish you could buy a sample of the product because if does not work for you it is the cost fsctot.
Love it 5
DENISE from Los angeles
Used this product for years and had to subscribe to a plan to get it. Wasted money and hated the steps. It did nothing for me. I got an over abundance of skin care . This last step worked for me. Didn't dry out my skin . Helped my skin look clear. Happy that I can purchase something I know that works without wasting money on something I feel I don't need.
an essential 5
Tatiana from Los Angeles
This has helped treat my breakouts so well & it doesn't feel harsh! I cant wait to see how my skin will look in the recommended 12 weeks! proactive sent me this product in exchange for my honest review.
This works!!! 5
Mandycon from Boston, MA
It works, period. I've been using the system but this is a big part. This is the magic. Apply it as required and see the acne go! It gets rid of mine and it's making my blackheads on my nose disappear and keeping them gone! This was gifted by Proactive and I'm getting this and the system for my son who gets stress acne. He's tried parts of my system with awesome results too! He's very excited for his set, thank you Proactive for letting me discover this for us!
Great Treatment 5
Donnie from Richmond, VA
I was gifted this product by Proactiv for my honest review. I love this product! I started seeing some breakouts pop up and this product helped reduced them! I also like how it makes my skin feels! Skin feel so soft and smooth afterwards!
The best one ! 5
iiheartbeauty from Mountain View
Can't miss this step for anything. It is the vital step in ensuring the bacteria will be gone for good. My skin is clear in couple days and I notice pimples go down. Thank you for Proactiv
Proactiv gifted me this product, but the opinions are completely my own based on my experience.
So refreshing! 5
Unimom from TX
I received this product as a gift from Proactive! And while it can take some time for results to show, this system has helped minimize my frequent break outs! This product in particular feels so nice on the skin after the first and second steps
