Proactiv - Some Notes on Its Efficiency

There are many people who need acne treatment solutions. Luckily, there are many products in the market that can suffice their needs. However, not all acne treatment solutions work. In fact, there are many hyped products that are quite inefficient.

Among the most popular brands these days is Proactiv. Some say that it doesn’t work while others point out that it is quite effective. In general, it should be noted that efficient acne treatment products may not work for some people primarily because their skin may repel the healing effects of the solution. Different people respond varyingly to different kinds of products. The customers should find one that will suit their specific condition.

 

 

What Do Manufacturers and Endorsers Claim?

 

 

If you check the website, you can see that the manufacturers claim that Proactiv acne treatment solution is “The Answer For Acne”. The site also points out that the product can be used by every kind of customer – regardless of the person’s age and skin type. They also claim that the product works on all types of acne breakouts. Unlike other acne treatment products, Proactiv does not only treat the existing acne. Rather, it also prevents future acne breakouts from resurfacing in the skin.

 

 

How Proactiv Acne Treatment Works

 

 

Based on the reports stated on the manufacturer’s website, Proactiv acne solution works just like some facial cleansers.  Every time the consumer uses the product, the cleansing ingredients unclog the pores of the skin and kill the bacteria that promote skin inflammation that starts on the infected pores.

 

 

However, it should be noted that technically, Proactiv acne treatment products do not target the root cause of acne such as hormonal imbalances and more. Basically, the product only helps manage acne. On their website, you can see claims stating that if you want to completely stop acne breakouts from recurring, manufacturers recommend that you should not stop using proactiv products. Some product users also point out that once you stop using Proactiv, acne breakouts immediately occur.

 

 

What are the Side Effects of Proactiv?

 

 

In general, almost all types of medication and treatment have some side effects.  However, the effects differ in severity. Two people using the same product may experience different side effects. In the case of Proactiv acne treatment solutions, some product users report that it irritates the skin. According to some experts, the product component that causes the irritation is benzoyl peroxide.  For those who have sensitive skin, they might experience itchiness, swelling, and redness of the skin. In some cases, they can also make the skin dry and flaky.

 

 

Overall Review on Proactiv

 

 

Generally, Proactiv acne solution is deemed as a good treatment product. The product is effective in treating mild to moderate levels of acne breakout. Moreover, it also produces quick results. After continuously using it for just a week or two, the product user can observe that the acne manifestations will clear out. However, during initial applications, the product may result to some skin irritations. The skin may become dry, reddish, and itchy. Though acne may be reduced or completely diminished after two weeks of continuous use, acne breakouts may recur as soon as the use of Proactiv acne treatment solutions is stopped.

Proactiv - can't go wrong trying this product

Having heard all the great reviews about Proactive I decided to try it myself. My cousins both use it and have extreme acne and it works wonders for them. Unfortunately I experienced an allergic reaction 

to the products so I had to discontinue using it. The reason I am writing this review though is that this company is true to their word on the refund policy, when I called to cancel any further orders and explained what happened they gave me a full refund without any problems and the customer service representative was super nice, I did not even have to waste time sending the product back. I was very impressed with this company--I never write reviews in fact this is the first review I have ever written online! So in conclusion you really can’t go wrong trying this product! I hope this helps with your decision to try this product. -Jan 14, 2009

I have been a proactiv user for many years now and absolutely love it. I have tried many other products prior to it and nothing ever seemed to work; NOT even prescribed medications by the dermatologist!!!  I would highly recommend this product- it really works! I saw results in about a week to two weeks. I was really surprised by how well it works. But, use the repairing lotion sparingly, a small dime size amount goes a long way. If you use way too much, redness may occur or dryness. Give this product a try; it was definitely worth my while. Neutrogena screwed up my face, along with clean and clear. Do not use those products! Also, nothing that the dermatologist gave me worked and cost a ton of money even with insurance! This is the only acne product that has worked for me and I absolutely love it. So worth it. Buy this product. You will not be disappointed! - Jan 09, 2009

 just got Pro Active for Chistmas and decided I would try it before I went to a dermatologist. I have been using it for about 2 weeks now. I, like most people, was really excited to get started on getting rid of my acne andjumped in full force on this stuff. The first week my face skin was glowing and my existing acne was drying up, the second week my face began to burn and turn red. I was going to stop completely until I read that you should start VERY SLOWY with this product. They suggest only using the first two steps for the first 3-5 days and then slowly add in the 3rd step everyother night. If you are like me, you did not read the FULL booklet before starting and got similar results.

I am taking two days off, like they suggested, and giving Pro Active another shot....THIS TIME FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS!!! -Jan 03, 2009
