Recently I had the chance to try Proactiv 365 for 30 days. I’ve always seen the commercials and heard friends rave about it but never really went out of my way to pick it up. I have always been amazed at the results they show and wondered does it really work that well.
I am lucky in the fact that 3 weeks out of each month my skin is dang near perfect. However one week out of each month my hormones kick into overdrive and I get some not so pretty problems. They have to be right out in the open and very well seen, I figure it’s karma getting me back since *knock on wood* my skin is great most of the time (well minus the wrinkles). I wondered if Proactiv would work for those of us who just have the occasional breakout. So my 30 day journey commenced with the kit they sent me:
*Not pictured but included was green tea moisturizer.
My twice daily cleansing consisted of washing with the cleanser, followed by the toner, rounding it all out with the repairing lotion. I loved the feel of my face after washing in the morning and evening. The cleanser was a little gritty because of the “beads” to get rid of the dead skin and freshen you up. The toner was like a breath of fresh air to the face. Last the repairing lotion made my skin feel smooth, yet not oily like most facial moisturizers.
Also included were the repairing mask and green tea moisturizer. The repairing mask can be used as a mask after washing with cleanser. I personally loved it as a spot treatment. As I said, I have the monthly breakouts and this was amazing. Proactiv helped me not to have as many breakouts but a few did still make themselves known and I used the repairing mask as an overnight spot treatment and they were gone in the morning. The moisturizer is a great way to awaken tired skin. It’s a serum that is great when you are looking to hydrate skin but don’t want oily which could increase acne.
I am definitely going to be picking up some more Proactiv when we run out. My tween is starting to deal with the dreaded teen skin that most of us went through and I think this will be great for him. Proactiv worked great for me personally I hope you will have the same experience. I love that they offer 24/7 online support with a customized code you receive when you order. That’s great customer service if you ask me. Check out more about Proactive 365’s care & benefits.

I really want to try this for my daughter! She has acne on her back and a few spots on her face that make her feel super self conscious. She was using another acne treatment regimen which worked for a period of time, but it now has stopped helping to clear up the breakouts.
Been using this for over 5 years now. LOVE IT!! They even have extra strength for the touch areas! 🙂
I’m definitely going to try this now. I have a couple friends that use Proactiv – but knowing them, they aren’t super strict with it. I’ve heard it works but wanted to be sure – from someone who uses it like its supposed to be – everyday!
My eldest tried Proactiv and had mediocre results at best but a friend of mine uses it and absolutely loves it. I guess is all depends on your skin type?
I tried Proactiv in my early 20s and really liked it. In my late 20s, my skin is much more sensitive and did not react as well to the Praoctiv unfortunately.
