MY THOUGHTS:

Now I tried out Proactiv a few years ago but I didn’t stick with it or use it regularly.  I didn’t notice a difference right away and was being impatient.  Well now Proactiv is enhanced with an exclusive micro-crystal benzoyl peroxide.  It is designed to get acne fighting medicine into the pores fast to penetrate clogged pores quickly.  So if you tried out Proactiv in the past, it is worth giving out another shot to try out the new formula.

I have been using Proactiv for two weeks now and my skin definitely improved. I do still have blemishes but they are not as bad as I usually have.  I don’t expect miracles either in just two weeks, so I can’t wait to see what happens after longer use.  I love how easy the process is to use and that it is a combination therapy to treat your whole face.  First you wash your face, next is a toner, and then you finish with a moisturizer.  For spot treatments or just to feel refreshed, I love the Refining Mask.  The products are simple and since it is a three-step system, I feel like I am getting all the help I need.  Now I don’t have sensitive skin, but the products do seem gentle yet effective on my oily-dry face.

When you first order Proactiv, you are signed up for a membership type of club, but you can cancel, suspend, or change anything.  So after your first shipment if you want to stop then just call and cancel but if you want to continue then you will automatically receive your next shipment in the time you specified.  I love the idea though that you can now buy Proactiv at mall kiosks, although I am not sure if there is a difference price-wise or if you still receive bonus gifts like you do online.

BUY IT: Proactiv Solution is distributed by Guthy-Renker and can be purchased by calling (888) 819-2019 or online at www.newproactiv.com.  You can also check the Proactiv Kiosk locator to find one near you (usually in the middle of a mall).
