Success with ProActive or Anything Similar?

I used it and like the murad system much better.

I've used ProActiv before but it over-dried my skin and bleached my washcloths and towels. I now use Zap It from Melaleuca and love it. Much less expensive than ProActiv too. You do need to have a Melaleuca membership to purchase (much like a Sam's or Costco membership, but they're an online store). Memberships are on sale for a dollar this month. If you're interested, I can set up your membership. My number is ###-###-####.

I use Melaleuca's Zap It! It is great and very affordable! To get started with Zap It I think it is $15 or so and then the three different parts run out some faster than others. About every three months or so. Each part is around $5. It is good, safe and natural.

Hi there. I used ProActive several years ago, and I really liked it. I also tried a brand from Walmart that said "compare to ProActive," it was called AcneFree. And, in my experience, it was very similar and just as effective, not to mention a LOT less expensive! I hope this helps! Have a great day!

Hi there-

I use Noxema skin wipes to clean my face and it really seems to work. If I run out and go a few days without using then I start getting small break outs... so I know it is helping.

I use proactive and love it. But, beware... it will bleach out your towels. I ended up buying a pack of inexpensive washcloths to use with it.

I use ProActive and I am an African-American woman. It is the best thing since women's liberation! It makes my skin look like a baby's bottom. The cleanser, the toner, and the replenishing lotion is amazing! I then use Oil of Olay moisturizer with SPF 15 sunscreen in it for sensitive skin. Hope you try it. You will be glad you did.

I have used proactive in the past with GREAT results!! My skin is now too dry for it, and I use Mary Kay.

The only thing you have to watch out for with proactive is that it will bleach clothes, towels, pillowcases, etc.

Hi K., I used ProActive for awhile a few years ago. It did help with the acne, but it was very drying. It also was very time consuming. I have now started using a Mary Kay product called TimeWise. I LOVE it. I use the 3in1 cleaner, and the moisturizer. My pores are much smaller, and my skin glows. I really recommend this product. I have never used Mary Kay until recently, but I think this is a product I will keep for a long time. Good Luck to you, I hope you find something that helps.

I used ProActive to get rid of my breakouts but it started drying out my skin (normal skin-type). Then I switched to the Origins products. Their personnel know their products and the ingredients are safe for the environment. It's a little pricey but lasts a long time.
