I have the 3 step system and slightly oily skin, and it starts clearing up immediately and within a few weeks it is like perfectly clear!!! I don’t know about the 5 step system though, never tried it…

DONT EVER USE THAT PRODUCT BECAUSE IT GOES INTO URE JEANS AND MESSES UP URE CHILD BECAUSE ITS BAD FOR URE FUTURE CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY CAN RUIN THERE FACE AND MAKE THEM RETARDED.

OMG.
Nooo Nooo.
That stuff kills your skin lol.
It made my skin ober dryy.

Just go to a dermo, And he will give you something better.
Like I used Clindoxyl and it got rid of my acne,
it shows results in like 2-3 months and does not burn your skin,
just a little red, but its part of the process.
Oh and remeber to also buy a moisturizer

I tried proactiv for about 3 months and it did the same thing and never stopped!

You should try this: It works really well and it’s cheaper than proactiv. Use once or twice a day depending on oilyness. I used to use it twice all the time, but now I only have to use it once. I buy a generic makeup remover to use at night and just use it with warm water.

Also, try this moisturizer:
For the summer time, when my face tends to get really dry, I use the dual action version of that moisturizer in the morning and that one at night. I just use that one (only in the morning unless otherwise needed) the rest of the time.

I wuld keep using it for a little bit longer, but after 3-5 days if it doesn’t work – stop using it. You might be allergic to it, or your skin doesn’t want/need it.
