It is BAD!!
Proactiv dried out my skin so bad. My face is flaking, I don't think My face has ever been so dry in my life. It's horrible and I stopped using it for good!

Tried it for the first time!
So I tried the Proactiv for the First time. The first reaction was how cool it felt.
First step is the Cleanser, I thought it was just like a regular cleanser at first until I started Lathering, it had little microbeads in it, it was very gentle though. I did feel that it was burning a little bit, but the manual said that was normal. So I thought nothing of it
Second step is the Toner, Again it burned the infected areas, but again it said this was normal. As any acne product does, it burns the affected area.
Third step is the Repairing Lotion, This step was weird... And a little goes VERY far. I put it on and it was like any other lotion, it had an Odd smell to it though, I can't quite explain it though!
Fourth and final step is the Mask, At first it says use it as an all over mask for 10 minutes and then wash off with warm water, Then as a spot treatment later on for little breakouts over night and wash off in the morning. So I did an all over mask, it hardened VERY quickly. IT SMELLED VERY BAD as well. It has SULFUR in it, which is Very drying to the skin... So as I rinsed it off, Believe me my skin was very Soft. However, It was also VERY tight. I could hardly move my face.
So here we are an hour and a half later and my face finally feels back to normal, but the tightness was very odd and strange. It was different but I'm really hoping that this clears up my skin. It's not so much of an acne problem for me, it's my redness which this claims to get rid of as well.
I also used the Cleanser and Lotion on My back and chest!

Right side of faceI just received a 30 day trial of Proactiv Solution. I'm going to post pictures on here 2-3 times a week for the next 4 weeks to see what the benefits of Proactiv are and What the down sides of Proactiv are! This should be fun and interesting so let's see how this goes! I do only have a slight case of Acne, but I'm hoping that this still works despite That factor.
