Proactiv Blackhead Dissolving Acne Gel Salicyclic Acid Spot Treatment For Face Unclog Pores and Reduce Blemishes, Tea Tree, 1 Fl Oz

Love Proactive products! They work well on teenagers with breakouts.

I really cannot believe how well this works. Some background info: I've been prone to blackheads since I was a teenager. Nothing helped. I have super oily skin and they just would get embedded in my nose and cheeks, basically my t-zone. I couldn't help it and while it never looked bad from far away, close up it is noticeable. It didn't help that I worked outside in construction from my late teens to mid 20's. I would get facials and facialists would recommend super expensive products to help fight the blackheads, but I was told by more than one person the only thing that will rid me of blackheads is going for facials frequently and letting them extract. Which hurts and is extremely unpleasant. And even then the facialist couldn't get them all and the next time I'd go new ones would replace the ones that were removed from the time before. It was like an endless cycle. By the way, in New York (not sure if it's the same in all states) a facial is around $120 for an hour. So getting my hair done, my eyebrows waxed and a facial every month was becoming a $300+ excursion after tips, parking, etc. Ridiculous. I had heard good and bad things about Proactiv products. Someone told me they were extremely harsh and powerful and she didn't like them. I have never used any other proactiv products before. I ordered the dissolving blackhead gel just to see if it worked. If not, I'm out $36, no big deal. I've been using the gel now for about 3 weeks. You're only supposed to use it 1-2 times a week and you're supposed to wash it off after 5 minutes. I choose to sleep with it because my blackheads, as I stated above, are really embedded into my skin and a lot of times facialists have a hard time extracting them. To say this gel is a miracle is an understatement. I cannot believe the difference I'm seeing on my skin. It's really unbelievable. After the first night I could see results but now, there are large patches on my nose that are just clear. I know I have a long way to go and that there's no guarantee it will remove all my blackheads, but it's the first product that's ever worked for me. Also, it smells pretty nice, not like chemicals and it doesn't feel harsh or sting or anything like that. It doesn't feel like anything, and it's a very thin gel, so it doesn't feel thick and gross on your face. I would hands down recommend this product to anyone who has blackheads. It surprised me how well this stuff works. The downside is that $36 is pricey for the size you're getting. It's only a small 1 oz. tube, but since you're only supposed to use it sparingly and 1-2 times a week, it can last awhile. I'm going to buy myself a few more bottles because it's really working for me. Before I purchased this product, I did look at the reviews and I saw some people saying it doesn't work for them. I guess it works for some people and for some others it doesn't. Maybe skin type matters or maybe it's more geared toward people like me that have an actual problem with a lot of blackheads and not just one or two popping up once in awhile. I'm really not sure. I do know that it's worked for me and I will recommend it to everyone I know. It's worth the price tag and it really is the only product that's ever worked on me.

good stuff

It took about 1.5-2 months before I started to see results using it 1-2 times per week. I like it but I'm on the fence if I'll continue using it. It's a very liquid "gel" and I seem to lose more product trying to get it out of the bottle than actually goes on my face each time. I wouldn't say it "dissolves" blackheads either. My pores are smaller, making the blackheads less apparent, but extraction is still needed.

doesn’t work as advertised. used two batches.

Delivered fast (shout out to my Amazon driver) feels great in my skin. This is the first day of trying this product. So far so good. Will update in a week 2/25.
