I'm sure everyone has seen those commercials on tv for Proactiv and wondered if it actually worked. If you haven't seen the commercials I'm talking about, here's a little bit about Proactiv®!

I'm happy to say that thru the Product Review Place, I got a chance to receive some Proactiv to review! I've been using Proactiv for a little over 2 weeks now and am overall pretty pleased with the results. I must admit I've never really had a huge problem with acne. I tend to stay broke out on my nose and get zits on my chin, but that's about it. However, those two places seem to stay broke out no matter what I use.
My first reaction to Proactiv is that it smells weird. It's entirely possible it's just me. However, I wasn't completely attracted to the products based on scent alone. After using the products I can honestly say that Proactiv does help with acne. I can't say that it's an overnight miracle, but then again, what is?
The Renewing Cleanser was the first product that I used and it was the one that smelled a little funny to me. However, it seemed to work well.
I was surprised that the Revitalizing Toner didn't sting when I put it on because I have used some toners in the past that did. However, this doesn't sting at all! I was very pleased about that!
The Repairing Treatment was a light, airy lotion that wasn't sticky/glossy.
My favorite Proactiv product was the Green Tea Moisturizer! I loved it! This is the best smelling product from Proactiv and it goes on really nicely. Plus, since it's been so cold and windy/snowy/rainy here lately, my facial skin has really needed something extra. My face did get a little dry while using the system, but the moisturizer really helped.
Overall, Proactiv is a really nice product for those of us with acne. It did manage to clear up my nose! Yay!
