Most effective acne solution!!!
By J. Yang
I have suffered from adult acne since I was 21 and tried so many products, including prescriptions ones, that I have lost track. The only reason I bought this was because it was on sale at Target for 16.99 and I thought what the heck. My expectations were beyond low. To my surprise, by the next day, my blemishes have either cleared or the inflammations went way down. After a week, my skin was almost flawless. Needless to say, when I went on my trip to Asia, I bought it with me. I shared it with two of my cousins who were both suffering from severe adult acne. Two days later, both of them came back to me with amazing results. I would recommend this to anybody. I would however suggest that additional moisturizer is needed afterwards.

Works so fast!
By D. Wahn
I have been using this product for two weeks now, and I am amazed already at the improvement in my skin. I am 25, and only this year have started having terrible breakouts with whiteheads, blackheads, and milia centered mostly on my cheeks right below my cheekbones. The hyperpigmentation (red marks that stay long after a blemish is gone) has been terrible! After just two weeks with this product already I am getting far less red, inflamed breakouts, and the hyperpigmentation from the previous blemishes has faded dramatically! My whole face feels much smooother and is starting to look even-toned again. The smell is kind of funky, and I find the moisturizer to be a bit greasy for my tastes, but as you put it on at night, these are not deal-breakers, you just go to sleep and forget about it, wash it off in the morning. Bottom line is, after all the peels and “intensive” products I’ve tried, this one works the absolute best, giving me fast, dramatic results.

Amazing
By Lilypad200
I am in my mid twenties and have had acne for years. Have used a million things in the hopes of clearing up my face, including Proactive and prescription drugs, with little to no results. My Mom bought this for me on a whim. I tried it with absolutely no expectations whatsoever, thinking it was going to be like all the rest, lots of hype and no results. I did the peel at night, the next morning I woke up and I noticed some of the redness was gone, and the acne was significantly minimized. I was completely floored, after putting on the peel three times in one week I saw results I have never even seen with prescriptions.

Fantastic device – pick your Kindle!
By Amazonoholic
Having been a little overwhelmed by the choices between all the new Kindles and which one to get, I ordered this new basic $79 Kindle first to take for a spin. So far, I like what I see. I also own a Kindle 3 so that’s the only device I can really compare it to at this time (I think a comparison between other tablets and this Kindle is meaningless, this device is all about content and delivery):

Proactiv Solution 3 Step System Kit 2 Month

Jace Williamson — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 21:03:29 +0000

There are galore acne treatment productions you may find exclusively on the internet. This review will focus on two ordinary acne merchandise that are sold on the internet, Proactiv solution and Exposed acne solution. Which product provides you with better value and more importantly, better looking skin?

When comparing two productions it’s indispensable to look at a merchandise value. Is it worth the price you remunerate for it and are you getting what you pay for? Both productions in this review are priced around $60 for the greatest acne starter set. Exposed’s larger kit comes with 6 productions and Proactiv comes with 5. If you looked at the scheme based on all that you receive for the cash it would seem like Exposed gives you a little more. But, is Exposed’s acne system worth $60.00?

Second, we may valuate a product based on treatment regimen. Both merchandise in this review use a proprietary formulation for getting rid of acne and preventing new acne from returning. The initial step is washing the face, toning it and then using a oil free moisturizer. Both companies suggest the use of a great deal of further and added merchandise to go along with the three step process, however, each day cleansing with each of the skin care merchandise are advised.

Next we look at the type of ingredients to genuinely see if there is a divergence amidst the two products. This is where Proactiv and Exposed Acne start out to percentage ways. Proactiv holds typical ingredients that could be found in mutual over the counter products. Benzoyl peroxide is the main active ingredient in Proactiv solution. It is normally used in acne merchandise for it’s capacity to kill bacteria and efficaciously treat acne.

Proactiv Solution does integrate more benzoyl peroxide (2.5%) than you may specifically find in the stores and they may assert that it’s the way it’s formulated that enables Proactiv to work so with great success versus frequent acne outbreaks, however, this type of medication may not be suitable for all skin types. Those that have sensible skin might find their skin more arid and irritated after using a product such as this. The Exposed treatment does comprise a special kind of benzoyl peroxide in the morning serum that they assert won’t arid your skin out.

Proactiv, on the other hand, requires you to use benzoyl peroxide on your skin two steps out of three. Furthermore, there is no other product in the Proactiv line of productions that allows you to treat acne internally. Exposed acne care offers a probiotic internal supplement that isn’t included in their main kit, but may be purchased separately that will attack acne from the inside out.

Finally, you must always check out what type of a guarantee a company will give you when attempting a new product. Because everyone’s acne is different, not all the merchandise you try will work for you. Proactive gives you 60 days to undertake the product and get your cash back if you are dissatisfied. This might sound good, but it specifically takes that long or longer to determine if a product is working or not. On the other hand, Exposed offers a full 1 year cash back guarantee which gives you a great deal of time to see if the product is genuinely working. There are likewise other incentives Exposed offers such as free bonus gifts and credits on your next buy that make it a product that’s at least worth checking out.

Overall, while Proactiv has had a good deal of endorsements by celebrities and has become widely known it would appear that Exposed’s acne solution offers their customer’s a better value, a better guarantee and ingredients that are beneficial for all skin types. When it comes down to dissimilar types of merchandise to treat acne, ultimately the choice is yours.

Works for me, but is kind of like flipping a coin between Clear Skin or Not
By S. Coleman
Though Proactiv Solution works pretty well for me, I have never seen a product vary so drastically from one user to another. I started getting terrible acne in the 9th grade, and it had a major effect on my confidence. People would stare at my zits–and not into my eyes–whenever we were having a conversation, and my 10th grade history teacher even held me back at the end of class specifically to recommend a skin care product that she had ordered from Avon. If that were not embarrassing enough, my acne reached a peak during my senior year of high school–the primetime of every young woman’s life. Every inch of my cheeks was covered in bright red, pus-filled pimples. It was so terrible that some people looked disgusted to even stand near me, and I had to wear a TON of concealer for my senior photos–which only exacerbated the problem as soon as picture day was over. After my high school graduation, I started spending a lot of time out at the pool, and (despite what the experts say), the sun drastically improved my skin. My face turned really red one day when I forgot the sunblock, and the next day, all of the zits were gone. However, when the summer ended and I went to college in the fall, the zits came back. It was then that I decided that I need something stronger than an over-the-counter medicine to deal with my skin. After watching a commercial for Proactiv Solution, I ordered it over the phone on a whim. The first few weeks didn’t give me any results, but after a about a month, the product worked to its full potential. I have been using it for almost two years now, and I am very happy with my decision to purchase it. Though it has not provided the magical results that are showcased in every commercial (I still get a couple of pimples every couple of weeks, my face is not the horrible red mask that it once was. Unlike some reviewers reported, the product does not dry my face out at all, and I haven’t experienced any redness. The most redeeming product of the entire system is the toner. Though it does not smell very potent, it succeeded in removing from my hands and forearms a botched application of self-tanning lotion that almost a week of constant scrubbing did nothing to help. For me, this is very good stuff. Unfortunately, as I stated, this product varies so widely from customer to customer that it is hard to determine the effectiveness of its use. In my circle of friends, three girls (myself included) are using Proactiv. My skin reacted very nicely to the product, but the other two weren’t as lucky. One of the girls had mild acne and experienced no change in her condition. Another girl had moderate acne and experienced such severe burning and redness of the skin that she discontinued usage and even voluntary went through the seven levels of Hell (also known as Proactiv Service) to get a refund.

Overall, here are my basic recommendations for those considering using Proactiv:

1.) Since results vary so widely between each user, buy the smallest amount of the product that is available. That way, if it does not match your particular needs, you are not out an arm and a leg on something totally useless

2.) Beware of the freebies/extras. The basic three step Proactiv system and the Daily Oil Control lotion work wonders (compared to the “before” situation), but the other items in the Proactiv line were actually pretty damaging. As a “free gift”, I received a tube of the Refining Mask. I applied it according to the directions, but approximately twenty minutes after I removed it, my face was covered in large red, itchy blotches. I immediately threw the tube in the garbage, and by the time I resumed using my regular system the next day, the spots were gone. So, if you get extras in the mail, proceed with caution.

3.) DO NOT, under any circumstances, tell the representative that you want a free month’s supply VitaClear Vitamins with your purchase. First of all, the vitamins are disgusting. VitaClear comes in a box with thirty individually wrapped packets of 5 vitamins. After taking that first packet of five vitamins one morning, I had to make a run to the restroom to vomit. The next day, I had didn’t throw up, but I did a second time after using the vitamins a few days later. Though I followed the direction to eat before usage, no matter how much or how little I ate, I would puke at least twice a week. If this is not enough, as soon as you agree to accept a free order, you (unknowingly) sign yourself up to receive auto-shipments of Vitaclear every two months–which means that your credit card will automatically be charged $29.99 every six or weeks. I have no idea how to cancel an account with VitaClear (which is sold by a different company than Proactiv). The only reason I stopped receiving shipments was because I changed addresses and my credit card just happened to expire that same month. So, if you like swallowing five vitamins each day that will make you puke, feel free to sign up for auto shipments of a product that is impossible to cancel.

4.) As I mentioned previously, Service is Hell (according to the people I know who have tried to cancel). If you want to cancel your account, you have to locate the customer service number from the website or from your previous bill. Proactiv does not allow easy online cancellations or (to my knowledge) mail-in requests to cancel. Then, when you call a representative and mention that you want to cancel your account, you are mysteriously put on hold for an indefinite amount of time–though they jump at the chance to talk to you if you are willing to order Proactiv. If you are not put on hold, the reps will talk in circles and try to convince you to order more products. One of my friends who successfully canceled her account recommended setting up a web count on the Proactiv site, going to the help feature, and then emailing a representative with the question “How do I cancel my account?” A rep contacted her by email a few days later, asked for her account number, and subsequently canceled the account. I recommend following this procedure or continue to receive the automatic shipments each month.
Overall, this product worked for me, but it will not work for everyone. It is kind of like spinning the Wheel of Fortune or flipping a coin…only this time, instead of head and tails, the sides are “Clear Skin” and “Not”.

Buy on Amazon!! Avoid Proactiv.com site at all costs!!!
By Larry Johnston
Hello,

What ever you do, do NOT buy this from the Proactiv web site. They will force you into a auto delivery system that is next to impossible to escape. All the bad things you hear about their customer service is a 100% FACTUAL!!!! However, the products are very good for mild to moderate acne, but some folks do not see the results they had hoped to acheive after all the hype. Your best bet is to purchase the products from a seller here on Amazon at a considerable discount. While you will not get the 60 day gaurantee, you will not be locked into a nightmare dealing with Proactiv attempting to escape the endless automatic purchases they will continue to send you. These products are VERY EFFECTIVE for MOST individuals, but NOT all. I hope this clears things up a bit.

Poor Service
By Ali Loewenstein
I am 28 and had a few blemishes, so I decided to try proactiv. Now my skin is a mess! It seemed like it would work, so I stuck with it for a month, and then I got another box in the mail of more product. Be wary, it is not obvious that once you buy the initial kit you will automatically be signed up to receive proactive and be charged continuously. Perhaps proactiv works for some, but since it was having reverse effects for me I called to return the additional box of product that they sent me. Though I still had 2 weeks left to return proactiv for a refund, the customer service representative said that they take 4-6 weeks to process returns, and so it would not be enough time to get my return order refund! Not only do I now have to pay for shipping and handling which is estimated to be around $10 but additionally for a certificate of delivery so I can prove I sent the product in on time. How frustrating. My last rant is that once the customer service woman heard I wanted to return the product, she tried to get off the phone very fast, and I had to keep asking her not to hang up, since she was VERY short and not forward about how to go about handling the return (ie. address, filling out the return slip etc). I would normally not write any review even if the product didn’t work for me, but the customer service i received put me over the edge.

I was skeptical, but it works!
By Curly Girl
I really didn’t think this thing was going to work…but when you have acne most of your life you will try anything at any cost. I have found that by using the Zeno in conjunction with Proactive Solution I have cleared my face significantly of acne. The Zeno product does take some time to use, as you have to hold it to the pimple for approx. two minutes. It causes redness on that area for about 10 minutes and is only mildly uncomfortable when you first put it on the pimple. After a day or two the acne is gone. It’s weird, but it works! I only gave it 4 stars because of the two minutes you have to hold it on your face, the redness, and the mild discomfort from the heat. Other than that, it’s quite easy to use and requires no clean up. You just have to charge it periodically and after 90 uses you have to replace the tip. Replacing it is so simple. You literally just pull the old one off and snap the new one on. This is a VERY simple device and it does the trick. It does not work very well at all on cystic ance, but for basic zits or pimples it takes care of them in a day or two.

Awesome replacement!
By L. Duquette
Item works great in conjuction with the Zeno. I love the Zeno, it has greatly reduced my blemishes better than any dermatologist prescribing medication to me could. The 90 tip may cost more but is a better value per tip. Easy to install.

Works well but it’s not magic.
By Thomas V. Oakes
I’ve fought with acne for about 14 years. As typical it was far worse in my teen years but it’s never been non-existant.

As a result of my long term fight I’ve used dozens of different creams, lotions, washes, foams, bars…

This product is definately at the top of the list of things I’ve used. It’s not over drying like some other products. While I thought that very dry might be good as oil seems to be the problem, drying tends to cause more problems than benefits. This cleans well without drying.

It’s very thick. It has the consistency of vegetable shortining or cream cheese. Where most creams are thin like soaps tend to be, this could be compared to a cold cream or noxema’s traditional cream.

There’s a strong tingling that comes with using this. The product suggests it is the ‘deep cleaning’ – I’d argue it’s menthol or something similar to suggest deep cleaning. When they say on the label “don’t use near eyes” take heed. Whatever makes it tingle will spread to your eyes if you wash too close and it’s not pleasant. Its never burned or be unbearable but for about 20 minutes after use too close to the eyes you’ll be aware you just washed your face.

I’m not sure I buy the suggestion that “it deposits benzoyl peroxide in your pores” but it has kept all but one significant blemish off my face for about 6 weeks now. Even that one blemish I could blame on my lack of attention to regular cleansing.

It’s certainly good stuff. I definately recommend it but don’t buy all the advertising pitches. It works but it’s only as well as your cleaning habits.

Only face wash that works for me
By Amit Kumar
I dealt with acne problems for many years, went through countless acne-fighting products. I’ve used all the face washes (salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide), used the astringents and spot-treatments, and tried the natural stuff. I’ve found this to be the most effective product for me. I use it once a day as face scrub in the morning, and at night I use a mild cleanser. I’ve been using this for about 2 years now, and have been acne-free the whole time. Definitely use a lotion afterwards though, because this will dry out your skin. And use white face towels, because this will bleach the color out of anything else.

The ONLY facewash that works for me
By SocraticMethod
Over the past 7 years I’ve tried nearly every facewash, and this is the only one that NEVER makes me break out ever. It doesn’t take away all the oil like some other facewash does, but I think that’s part of why it works. It NEVER dries your skin out by removing too much oil. It also has the strongest concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide I’ve seen in an onver the counter product (10%). This does wonders for me and if this product ever went away I’d be screwed. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it can be expensive in stores, and you can run out of it quick if you don’t ration it correctly. Even though it’s a cream that doesn’t spread that well, you don’t need very much for it to be effective. It’s still worth spending the extra money (even for a cheap/poor college student such as myself) because of how well it works.

The Dietary Cure for Acne

Diet plays an instrumental effect in our body. This is why you need to modify your diet in order to stay fit and healthful naturally. It is primary in this context to do not forget that diet is just one of the main constituents in acne cure. It is not the end however. Studies that were performed in the late 60s and 70s, believed that acne is caused by poor diet, but those principles have been rendered obsolete by recent research.

Diet Influences Acne Breakout

Diet oftentimes gives rise to difficulties in the blood sugar. The swinging of blood sugar levels results in a hormonal reaction it may stir number of reactions such as: intensified production of sebum, and lumps of dead skin cells or more dead skin cells. In other words, dietary irregularities may give rise to blocked pores. Blood sugar may be caused by the consumption of too much fat.

Once you consume a meal that has high amounts of fat, the insulin receptors in the cells are blocked thereby enhances insulin resistance. Foods that have high a glycemic index lead to a sharp rise in the levels of sugar in the blood. Moreover, consuming more calories than are required by the body likewise leads to sugar increases.

The other cause of acne breakouts is inflammation. Too much of inflammation weakens the immunity power of people and causes bacteria to influence the skin. Inflammation may be caused by feed allergies, free radicals and toxins and chemicals present in foods. Carbohydrates are also said to lead to acne.

The Dietary Cure for Acne

You may always heal acne by regulating your diet. Curing the body of acne with a regular diet is something that you will have to take care about. This method has 2 purposes: sustaining the stable levels of sugar in the blood, and reduction of inflammation. You may maintain adequate blood sugar levels by taking foods that are low in fat and high in fiber. The high fiber foods slow down the rate of absorption of sugar and helps remainder the levels of blood sugar. This is why, fruits that comprise fiber are considered as the dietary heal for acne because they do not lead to sudden leaps in your blood sugar levels.

Reduce Inflammation

Go for the anti inflammatory foods and take in lots of antioxidants. Antioxidants are used by the body for combating the free radicals. With the body being devoid of antioxidants, less of inflammation is triggered. The best foods to consume include vegetables and fruits. Foods that have high levels of Omega 3 fatty acids and other necessary elements are highly commended as they fight inflammation and the free radicals. The good foods in this category include flax seeds, and fatty fishes like salmon.

Diet Rules for Acne Cure

• Eat whole foods naturally. These incorporate fruits and vegetables.

• Don’t go for processed foods which have high chemicals, but low nutrition and fiber.

• Keep the oils low.

These are a lot of of the rules that will support reduce the incidence of acne. You may even get rid of dietary complications. Diet is not the final solution of treating acne. It is part of the overall condition of acne cure.

The Dietary Cure For Acne

While acne has long been a problem for adolescents, in recent decades – the last fifty years specifically – acne has been on the rise amidst adults as well, exceptionally amidst women. Many scientists have traced his upsurge to changes in the dietary habits of North Americans.

The Clear Skin Diet is designed to aid those who suffer from acne to understand:

What it is
Why they have it
What it has to do with their eating habits
And what they may do to prevent it or lessen it is impact

Modern exploration shows:

That there is a strong causal connection amidst sure kinds of foods and acne.
That sure fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids, protect versus acne, while others, completely filled or trans fats, may publicize acne by increasing the level of inflammation and oxidative stress in the skin.
Culinary herbs like ginger and turmeric are known to dampen acne breakouts.
These same dietary stresses also influence the level of the hormones that cause acne. While fruits and vegetables, green tea, soy, fish, berries, and fiber-rich whole foods lessen these androgens, meat and milk publicize these acne-related hormones, as do sugar and low-fiber carbohydrates.
There also is a strong causal connection amongst the brain and the skin. When a person experiences anxiety and depression, acne-producing hormones are released, which may lead to poor dietary selections high in completely filled fats and sugars.

The Clear Skin Diet introduces the acne diet and lifestyle. Dietary requirements for protecting the skin are listed – along with suggested feed supplements when they cannot be without apparent effort met – and summarized, as well as mind-body medical interventions that may influence acne hormones and lessen their impact. Also included are 50 acne-preventive recipes, along with data on how one may locate the ingredients that are not readily available in most grocery stores.

A Must Read for Anyone with Acne
By Sarah C. Zampino
This is arguably the most important book on skin care in the last decade. It is not about hearsay, old wives tales etc, and it is not based on opinion or testimonials it is about scientific advances that have clearly shown that diet and acne are linked beyond any doubt. In addition to the updated diet and acne research from Harvard, Australia and other centres, there are some 300 scientific references in the back to support the connections. I thought it was an interesting combination of authors, a naturopathic doctor and a conventional dermatologist, and this seems to pay off for the reader. The chapters provide scientific explanations for why sugar, milk and so-called bad fats can promote acne. On the other hand, they also describe why whole grains, fibre, antioxidants, omega-3 fish oil and green tea can help acne. The authors provide shaded boxes for some specific anti-acne nutrients like zinc, selenium and some others, and they explain why acne patients may need more of these nutrients and where they can be found in foods. I liked the stress-acne chapter, how stress influences dietary choices, and the guidance on stress management was appropriate. This book should be in every high school library and the waiting room of every dermatologist’s office.

Highly Recommended – dermatologist’s perspective
By Derm Doc
Every acne patient should read this book. I find it very unfortunate that the American Academy of Dermatology has continued to perpetuate the myth that diet is not linked to acne. As someone who has made the choice to lead a healthier lifestyle, I was essentially following this diet for the past several months before I even read the book. I could see wonderful changes in my skin in addition to other changes (lost 30 lbs, was no longer tired and achy). I no longer had monthly flare-ups of the female adult acne, no longer had a drab complexion. People told me my skin seemed to “glow” and that my skin looked like an ad for an Oil of Olay commercial. I was no longer dependent on the latest and greatest topical treatment from the big pharma.

Worth the Price
By Sandy M.
I bought this hoping it would do something to help my adult acne. I have very fair skin, so any pimple that comes along leaves a mark for at least two weeks that I have to cover up with makeup. I was amazed in that I saw a difference in my skin after about a week of using this product. My red marks were getting lighter and it was drying up new pimples very quickly. It also seems to reveal a nicer, brighter skin texture. The directions say 2-3 times a week, but I use it more like 4-5 times a week. It is a mask, so you leave it on for 5-10 minutes before washing it off. I have found that it is better to wash it off in the sink than during a shower. The shower seems to wipe out the product completely whereas the sink leaves enough of it on that it is still working throughout the day. Great product.

Good Stuff
By Mirage08
I have been using this for about 3 or 4 weeks and I can see a difrence in my skin. It does helps with marks left on my face and it also helps existing pimples on my face as well. I use it at night and I swear when I get up in the morning whatever pimples on my face are smaller. I use it 2 times a week. Also after I wash it of my skin is really soft. It smells like Downy fabric softner which is kind of funny to me. Define recommendation.

Finally! Even Skin Tone
By Renee J. Johnson
I have lived with acne for more than 35 years. In my early 40s, I ended acne breakouts with a very strong prescription from my dermatologist (this happened after dismissing the UCLA dermatology department’s treatment of 5 years and finding a new doctor who actually listened and agreed with me that my acne was in need of something stronger than topical solutions). After finally being relieved of acne breakouts, I found myself living with all the acne scars I helped create over more than 40 years.
