Is Proactiv the Cure for Acne?

Like most people who have acne and own a TV, I've been convinced at one point that the Proactiv Solution would solve all my acne problems. Who doesn't want to be an "after" when you see that commercial? And if Jennifer Love Hewitt uses it, it must really work.

The bottom line on Proactiv is that it's, well, okay. It's not the best acne skin care treatment out there, and it's not the worst. One of the reasons why it may work for many people is because it's an easy-to-use system that emphasizes routine. People are much more willing to clean and treat their skin consistently when they're using a "system" than when they've thrown something together from the drugstore.

The Proactiv Solution consists of the Renewing Cleanser, Revitalizing Toner, and Repairing Lotion. Both the cleanser and the lotion contain 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. The toner contains glycolic acid. Read more about what these acne product ingredients do.

If you're curious about my own experience, I've written a Proactive Review here:
I used the Proactive Solution for Acne a few years ago, when my acne was very bad, and I was not happy with the results. I felt that it irritated my skin and did not get rid of my acne as the commercial promised. I've done a lot of research and used a lot of acne skin care products, and I've finally figured out why Proactive didn't work for me -- and why it probably won't work for you.
