Proactiv Reviews

While there are no acne treatments that will produce the same results for everyone, the results experienced by the actual users of an acne treatment are generally the best indication of that treatment’s effectiveness. The main purpose of this page is therefore for the actual users of the Proactiv 3-Step System to post reviews of their experience with this acne treatment. If you have used the Proactiv 3-Step System, we would love to hear from you. Kindly scroll down below to post your review.

What Is Proactiv?

The Proactiv 3-Step System is a 3-part topical acne treatment, comprising of a cleanser, toner and repair treatment. Not exactly the type of acne treatment most acne sufferers haven’t come across a million times before. However, Proactiv is one of the most well-known and talked about of its kind. And, while it may also have an impressive list of celebrities that endorse it, we know better than to recommend a product based on the selling power of a few famous faces. What interests us far more than this are the results experienced by the actual users of Proactiv, and fortunately our researchers were able to find and analyse literally thousands of Proactiv reviews.

In fact, we were able to find more Proactiv reviews from real users (approximately 7500) than of any three other topical acne treatments combined, so this is definitely a product that sells. As usual though, we’re going to cut through all the hyped up marketing and sales figures and target what really matters, which is the success people have had using Proactiv. So, based on the 7500 odd reviews we’ve perused, what’s the bottom line on Proactiv. Well, what we can say with certainty is that like all acne treatments, Proactiv does not work for everyone and it probably can’t even be said that it works for most people. To say that Proactiv works for around 50% of people would be much closer to the mark.

Having said that, a 50% success rate isn’t half bad (excuse the pun) considering that this figure is based on a respectable number of user reviews (7500). Fair warning though, most of the the 50% of people who got positive results from Proactiv did say that it dried their skin out, doesn’t smell great and requires religious use to be effective.
