Should I use Proactiv?
In my oppinion, no. The reasons are:
1) ProActiv is fairly expensive (I’ve come across several Proactiv users complaining that the bottles are small and won’t last as long as suggested).
2) Based on user feedback Proactiv can be very harsh.
3) You can find topical solutions with a significantly better ‘track record’. Exposed is the topical acne treatment system I recommend and I encourage you to read my Exposed acne treatment review.
