how does this compare to proactiv?

This isn't made specifically for acne, so there really isn't a comparison. This is an excellent cleanser, and I don't think it would hurt to use it for acne, and may help, but that's not what this cleanser is targeted to. This is my favorite cleanser, and I think brightens, and cleans the skin better than even more expensive cleansers.

Very different! This is a finer exfoliation with different ingredients. I would say Proactiv is better for teen or young adult skin. The ProX is perfect to use with the whole system and the thickness is awesome to do a little facial massage for both smooth skin and blood flow for a nice glow.

Proactiv doesn't work - let me just say that. I've tried Proactiv before, and it didn't work for my skin.This product, however, works wonders. I noticed that it shrunk my pores A LOT while also doing a great job at exfoliating my face; leaving a smooth, healthier looking skin.

hi carl, i'm sorry it has taken so long for me to answer, i haven't been on lately. the difference in the two are that the microdermabrasion has another head for the pro x that when used with the included cleanser will abrade your top layer it is gentle but slightly more abrasive than the brush, which is "softer". i find that i don't need that abrasive cleanser as i have sensitive skin. i hope this helps. good luck.

I haven't tried the other cream so I can't answer that question, but I definitely use this on my face daily. It goes on looking thick, but absorbs fully and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy. It keeps my normally dry skin very comfortable.It helps with my psoriasis spots which are less red when moistened.

I like this one better. Emerita is much more difficult to rub in (Emerita is more like a lotion; this one is more of a cream) AND this product is more concentrated (500 mg USP progesterone per oz vs 450 with Emerita) and is a better value.

Yes it does. Proactive did nothing for my daughters acne. This stuff works! She still gets new break outs when she gets her monthly cycle but it clears up much more quickly with this.

It has REALLY worked for me and for a couple of my friends! Definitely more effective than proactive for me. It did take about 4-5 weeks to clear me up, but I am going on about 6 months of clear skin for the first time in years!

Don't really know about comparisons. This was the first product of this kind I purchased. I could tell a difference after only short use and my hair dresser saw new hair coming in. Have liked the results so have stuck with it.

I'm not totally sure what the difference is. My facial gal recommended the ageless total anti-aging serum and I have used that for the year and a half I've been going to her. I am 66 and my skin is firmer and tighter since I've used this. I am trying the Vital C hydrating one right now just to see if there is a difference and at this point I don't see one. Sorry I couldn't be more specific as to the differences. I love the Image Skincare products. My skin has vastly improved since I started using them.

I go to an Esthetician once a month fir facials and she uses this on me. The one I purchased at Amazon is identical, only cheaper. Not cheaper ingredients but cheaper price.

Hi! I 40+ This Olay product line in particular works. You will see differences first week. I suggest dont waste your money and precious time buying "Total Effects". Keep with ProX instead.

Yes it does. If it didn't I would have said so. I rarely make posts so it must be good! Also my sister uses it now after leaving proactiv. I never started proactiv because I saw what it did to her face. Give it time and use it consistently. Also drink plenty of water. Hope this helps!

Hi Jessica! The Facial Cleanser and the Clearing Tonic are both 4 oz. and the clear pore serum and acne treatment are 1.75oz. I've been working on this same kit since Christmas and just ran out of clearing tonic. A little goes a LONG way with this product. As for the staining, I've only noticed a little on a few of my towels. I went and purchased 4 white hand towels from Walmart and only use those when I am drying my hands after using the clearing tonic and treatment. I rinse and dry them. This product is a million times better than proActiv!!!!!

I don't know? I have never tried the pro soft. I really like the perma soft. I have had my liner in for about 3 months and had no problems. You may just have to order some and try it for yourself. Then you can decide which one you like better.

I am not sure about whether it is the same. I do know I bought it and enjoy it but not as much as I LOVE their facial serum.

I do not see a difference in the feel or application of the two products. I think the higher strength in SPF is the only difference.

No idea, but I love how my skin feels and looks. I have used both lines and I feel this is a superior product.

I truly hope you give this a chance to work for you. I'm a big Neutrogena lover, however I did not like the Rapid wrinkle as much, (for me).I'm waiting for them to come out with a Bigger Bottle, and a Little Cheaper.Enjoy giving it a try. :)
