MM Mixed Makeup Skip
“They don't want any association with Proactiv. I've had many clients through the years who got beauty deals and then they don't want association with Proactiv. I had a client who started taking Accutane, and it was a whole big thing in the media about 'Hey, if the products really work, why is she taking Accutane?'”

“Proactive. As we mentioned, once worth over a billion dollars, is basically invisible today. It relied too heavily on harsh benzel peroxide systems, didn't adapt to the more popular gentler gentler acne solutions, and it eventually lost its choke hold that it had on the teen market.”

CH Caroline Hirons Skip
“I was on it for a few years and it stopped working. Proactive only had benzoyl peroxide but the one that I found had both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide at lower concentrations, so I think that combination worked better for me.”

“I just wish that their endorsements were behind a brand that just had better formulas. If I got a dollar from every time I got a comment from one of you guys saying that Proactiv destroyed your skin, it's just not great.”

CB Cassandra Bankson Skip
“I was you know a teenager I was an aesthetic school back in 2009 and I literally had access to proactive because that's like all that existed back then we didn't have Brands like dramatica or like Dr Sandra Lee MD and I remember using the benzoyl peroxide from proactive shoving it on my face leaving it on until it burned and having my face literally swell up”
