I'm Still Undecided About Proactiv Solutions Renewing Cleanser

Advantages: Has cleared up skin a bit, Comes as part of skincare set
Disadvantages: Small bottle, Expensive (product and delivery), Don't know long term effects of ingredients

...I've been using Proactiv Solutions Renewing Cleanser for approximately 2 and a half months. However, despite this long period of usage I'm still undecided about whether or not Proactiv is any good. Whilst it has improved my skin visibly, with fewer blemishes, my skin still bears patches of acne. Therefore, I'm unsure of whether I should continue using it along with other Proactiv products. Whilst Proactiv came highly recommended to me, personally it hasn't changed my skin as dramatically as promised. This is very disappointing due to the fact that it is not only pricey to pay a bi-monthly subscription and membership, but having it shipped from America every two months is proving to be costly. Also, I am worried about long-term effects that Proactiv may hold for my skin since it contains Benzoyl Peroxide which is considerably stronger...

ProActive Solutions... a Facial Wonder...

Advantages: makes your skin feel fresh and clean...
Disadvantages: can dry skin out...

...that I listed above... but I won't say I haven't been tempted... but I can say that it is very expensive to try everything... I like staying with the simple three: The Cleanser... Toner... and Lotion... Anything more and I think it would lose its timely effectiveness with me... To contact PA Solutions... you can call: 1-800-950-4695 or 1-800-333-01583 I know that we can't call the 1-800 numbers in the UK without using a phone card... but there is also the website: www.proactivsolution.com Or you can write to the company to send free brochures to the UK to get the 0800 numbers at: Guthy-Renker Palm Desert, California, USA 92260 or ProActiv Solution c/o Guthy-Renker P.O.

Review of Proactiv Solutions Renewing Cleanser

The cleanser that wanted to be a peeling

Advantages: clearer skin
Disadvantages: some new spots, too aggressive for sensitive or dry skin

...***How did I hear about it?*** I've always had a little trouble with my skin and have already tried various treatments but never found something that I would actually like enough to stick to it. A friend brought a Proactiv Solution set from a business trip in the States and was recommending it strongly. ***Where did I get it? How much did it cost?*** For Christmas I got a set from my mother (pointed her in the right direction...). She ordered the 4 piece cleansing set for 39.90 from proactivsolution.co.uk. This report is about the first product of this set, the "Renewing Cleanser". ***Set only!*** The first disadvantage is thus that you can only get hold of a complete set of Proactiv Solution, but on the other hand the system is designed to be used together so should also probably be used this way. ***Automatic re...

Comforting cleanser

Advantages: Very moisturising & soothing
Disadvantages: Expensive & leaves skin a bit greasy

...I bought this after getting a sample of a similar Clinique face wash and really liking it. I liked the sound of this one because it was described as being really gentle and I feel my skin is becoming increasingly sensitive recently. I cheated and got it from a seller on Amazon, which meant it worked out a few pounds cheaper than the original price which is £13.70 for the 150ml bottle. What it says on the bottle? ?Gently and effectively removes stubborn makeup, leaves skin smooth and comfortable? It also directs you to massage in the cleanser before rinsing or wiping off with a tissue. Packaging? The bottle is typically Clinique, it is a white tube with a hint of pink. It has a green lid at the bottom and in block capitals ?Clinique? at the top and ?comforting cream cleanser? in smaller black writing beneath...

Review of Clinique Cleansers Comforting Cream Cleanser

** A Confused Cleanser **

Advantages: Lovely on the skin, smooths and refreshes.
Disadvantages: Expensive, it does not cleanse as well as it should, disappointing packaging.

...you cant help but be drawn too! ** B Gone Cleanser ** The B Gone Cleanser is advertised as being the perfect solution to whisk away your party face before you hit your pillow for the night. With cucumber, almond oil and violet leaf. ?B? claims that this suits-all skin-types. It should refresh the skin leaving it perfectly clean, balanced and velvety smooth ridding you of all your grime and make-up! From my experience with ?B? products so far the packaging on their products has always been magnificent and has (in my mind) justified their expensive price tags. My sample size was just a basic tub with the B Gone label on, but after routing around the sparkling shelves I found that this cleanser is £9.80 for 200ml. So I was expecting another jewel encrusted beauty bottle but I was wrong!! Disappointingly the cleanser comes in...

Aveda - Top Class Cleanser

Advantages: Suits my skin very well. Lovely to use.
Disadvantages: Price!

...bouquet of thanks to the lovely Aveda consultant at House of Fraser in Birmingham. If only all beauty consultants were like her. She listened to what I wanted, she was relaxed and approachable, I felt comfortable talking to her and she was clearly knowledgable about the Aveda range, without being at all pushy. I had a free cup of Aveda's own brand of herbal tea while I was browsing and trying out all the different scents and potions. As a result of feeling so at home among the fascinating shelves of Aveda I did spend money and left happy. About Aveda A generous friend bought me a body mist from Aveda as a present a few months ago and I totally loved it. I blame her for the fact that I am now obsessed by all things Aveda. Why couldn't I become obsessed with something cheap? I should be a rich person! Why is no-one in...

Review of Aveda Purifying Gel Cleanser

MD Formulations Facial Cleanser

Advantages: cleanses, exfoliates, leaves skin smooth, no residue left, improves skin condition
Disadvantages: None

...a result driven skin care range with dramatic results. Although it doesn't seem the most glamorous of skin care ranges, the proven results are all you need to know that it is amazing. Facial Cleanser The active ingredient in this is glycolic acid, so I will be talking about and referring to this alot in the review as it is very important. Glycolic acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), which is a naturally occurring substance that has been used for centuries to improve the appearance of the skin. Of all the AHA's, Glycolic acid, derived from sugar cane, has the greatest ability to penetrate the skin due to it's smaller molecular size. Glycolic acid has the ability to act as a superior moisturiser for the skin. Glycolic acid is the only AHA or product that is small enough to penetrate to the basal layer (the deepest skin layer on your...

Review of MD Formulations Facial Cleanser

Clarins One Step Cleanser.. no thank you!

Advantages: Quick and easy to use
Disadvantages: Makes your skin feel really oily..

...I bought this Clarins 'One Step Facial Cleaner' when I was in Duty Free, I needed a new cleanser so I thought I would give this one a go since I have never tried it before. This particular cleaner is meant to cleanse and tone in one easy step, which I thought was good since it would cut some time out of cleansing and toning separately. The cleanser comes with orange extract and is meant to 'renew radiance'. The bottle is quite a simple design. It is made of see-through clouded white plastic with a red 'Clarins' logo at the stop of the bottle. It then has the name of the cleanser in French and then underneath that 'One Step Facial Cleanser With Orange Extracts'. The bottle has a white plastic lid which twists off and the cleanser comes of a spout at the top of the bottle. Since the cleanser comes out of a tiny hole at the top...

Review of Clarins One Step Facial Cleanser

Proactiv A Work of Wonders

Advantages: For any skin type, does not cause irritation and does not take long to see difference a
Disadvantages: Having to buy it online because it not in store

...of making all over my face and trust me it was the wrost feeling in the world I finally decided to try proactiv there was nothing to lose. These cleaners have things that will help fight all kinds of dead skin cells but I do not want to bore you with the biology and chemisty of this product. All that is needed to know is it has oil free formula (we all know oil on acne just mutilples it) that penetrate the pores which helps kill bacteria and help blemishes. What I love most about this product is the fact that it's for everyone. I mean you try an acne product it does not work for you but then your friend try the same product and works for them. Proactiv Renewing Cleanser works magic on your face I mean if it works for my friend, me, my mom skin type I am sure it will work wonders for everyone else. Give it a try like they say there is...

Review of Proactiv Solutions Renewing Cleanser

Full Marks Solution

Advantages: quick and easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...Full Marks Solution A few weeks ago I had someone that was staying with us and unfortunately she appeared to have nits the dreaded word. So off I went to the Chemist to see what was on offer and would give a positive response and to get rid of the little blighters. So I came across Full Marks and this was on special offer so I bought it and hurried back home to start battle with the nits. It was packaged in a box which is appealing to the eye and inside the box there is a plastic bottle and it states that the size I bought would do 2 treatments. Inside the box it also includes a metal nit comb to use for no extra cost. When applying the solution what it actually does is dehydrates the nits and then they die. So after applying the solution for ten minutes and combing through the solution you will need to wash it out...
