Why Proactiv earned a B-
About Proactiv
Acne treatment infomercials basically built this brand in the '90s, and Proactiv still sells its 3-step system direct-to-consumer decades later, alongside newer spot treatments and cleansers. It's aimed at teens and adults dealing with breakouts who want a routine rather than a single spot-treatment product.
A 60-day window is long by skincare standards, giving your skin real time to react before you commit. Just know the guarantee only covers what you bought directly from Proactiv — if you grabbed it off a shelf at Target or Ulta, you're returning it under that store's rules, not Proactiv's.
What they sell
- 3-step acne treatment system
- Spot treatments and blemish gels
