My 12 year-old daughter, who has the biological body of a 16 year-old, had been seeing a dermatologist since she was 10 (she had already been living with acne since she was 9). None of the prescription medications worked, even though she faithfully stuck with the various routines. She just got more pimples and peeling red skin. She drank lots of water, ate healthy foods like salads and fruit, exercised--despite her best attempts, nothing would improve her complexion. After 2 years of red, peeling, skin and more pimples, she was disheartened and hopeless.
Out of desperation I purchased the KlearAction kit for her, and were we ever surprised to see that IT ACTUALLY WORKS. She had to play around with the routine for a while to get optimum results. For example, in the winter she does 1 facial wash and only 1 lotion application per day, while in summer she does 2 washes and 2 lotion applications daily. She found that the toner was too strong for her face, but we put it on her back and that clears up the acne situation there.
The other day, while we were driving along in the car and she was peering into the vanity mirror, she casually announced, "Mom, do you know I have one of the best complexions of all the girls in my school?"
I have nothing but positive comments to make about this product, which I understand is basically a generic rendition of ProActive, at 1/2 the price. It lasts (for her) about one to two months, as packaged, which breaks down to a very affordable $15- a month. I urge you to try it!

I was worried to use a different product other than Proactive and when I heard about Klear Action. I was worried that if I changed my skin care regimend my face would breakout really bad. I tried Klear Action because it said it was just like Proactive and it was half the cost of Proactive. The Klear Action face wash is much better than Proactive because it isn't watery when it gets wet like Proactive does and it isn't so gritty either. I notice the same results from Proactive as I do with Klear Action except I notice that Klear Action doesn't dry out my skin near as bad as Proactive did. The only complaint I have about Klear Action is that the scent is a little overwhelming at first but that was just my reaction to it, now the scent doesn't bug me. I have suffered from acne for many years and I still do, Klear Action and Proactive have not cured my acne but they keep my skin under control. I am very happy to have found Klear Action because I can afford it and I don't have to worry about money when I buy Klear Action like I did when I used Proactive.

I used Proactiv for a few years before trying Klear Action. I switched because Proactiv was just getting too expensive, and the fact that Klear Action is half the price appealed to me. It is a pretty good system, and my skin is fairly blemish free. I do still get a few here and there and the condition of my skin isn't nearly as good as it was with Proactiv. But because of the price, I'll probably continue to use Klear Action.

I am 24 years of age, and I have been using proactiv for about 2 years. I dont have bad Acne, but I did tend to break out 2-3 times a month before I started useing proactiv. I have always just washed my face with regular store bought acne wash, and it never seemed to help much. PROACTIV is a great product, when all 3 main items (Face-Wash,Toner,Lotion) are used daily it is very effective in controlling break outs and the size of pimples. I take showers at night, so I would keep the Face-Wash in the shower, after I shampoo I would wash my face...and it worked perfectly in the shower. I would then apply some toner with a cotton ball after getting out of the shower. Right before I go to bed, I would apply the Lotion (the Medication) which would take 30-45 sec. to dry.

I have been useing Proactiv for almost 2 years and my acne is almost always under control. Even tho these 2 kits seem like alot of work, after you start seeing the big differnces in your skin after using them you wouldn't think twice about applying it every single night. MY skin took about 2-3 weeks of getting use to the product before I started to see huge results and trust me I was happy with them.....very happy.


Proactiv Solution:
- Great Product, when used correctly and daily.
- I could see huge results after 2-3 weeks of use.
- Great for oily skin, not to harsh for my med type of skin.
- Expensive, 3 piece kit would cost about $45.00 and it would last about 4 months.

Klear Action Acne Treatment:
- Also a Great Product, same exact medications as Proactiv.
- Medications are the same, but Klear Action's Face wash has no micro scrubbers. The toner is a differnt color and the Medication lotion is more watery.
- Bottles are not as nice as Proactiv, they tend to get "Krusty Tops"
- I switched to this product for about a month already, and I have noticed no change in my complextion, and my acne is still under control!!! GREAT PRODUCT!!
- At $20.00 shipped what better deal is out there. Give it a try. For new users I would give it about 2-3 weeks to see a differnce in your skin.

This has been the best product for clear skin I've ever found. I've used Clinique 3 step, Proactiv Treatment system, and even Alpha Hydroxy and prefer Klear Action, because it's not too expensive and it keeps my skin clear around the clock. I noticed a big difference after only the second week using this, but note that it will take about 5 - 6 weeks of continuous use to stay completely clear. When I first started using Klear Action, I thought I wasn't going to like it. Comparing it to Proactiv (my favorite till I found this), I noticed the deep pore cleanser was a more diluted product and seemed to have less graininess for that bit of facial scrub consistency. I also noticed a very small amount of graininess in the treatment lotion. This ended up being no problem at all because, to me, Klear Action cleared my skin better than the proactiv. The only drawback I would have in using this product is that it will discolor turtlenecks and other colored clothing that it comes in contact with (even after the lotion is dry on your skin), due to the peroxide in it (Proactiv does the same). If I want to wear turtlenecks, I only wear white or off-white. I actually have learned to stay away from mock-necks and turtlenecks almost altogether. :) It will also lighten hair it comes in contact with. I still give this product 5 stars because completely clear skin makes the clothing issue and lighter hair such a trivial matter.

We highly recommend this product. My son used Proactive for several months with good results but I saw a review for Klear Action and thought we would give it a try. According to my son the Klear Action works just as good as the higher priced Proactiv. My son is very conscious about his acne so if the Klear Action had not been working as well as Proactiv he would have refused to use it and would have gone back.

I have had mild/moderate acne from age 11 to now in my mid-twenties. I thought I would have grown out of it, but I have not. I began using Klear Action 10 months ago and saw results w/in the first week. It has not cleared my acne completely, but has improved it greatly minimizing breakouts, and making my skin soft and less embarrassing. This product has been great for me and makes me feel better about my skin.

My sibling suffers from worse acne and uses Proactiv with about the same results. Klear Action is half the price and allows you to buy it one kit at a time, instead of "joining a club" and sending kits to you constantly. In winter months my skin gets very dry so I only use Klear Action once a day with a good rich oil-free moisturizer w/ SPF. In the summer months I use it twice a day with a light oil-free moisturizer w/ SPF. A kit lasts me about 2-3 months. Also, I use a sugar scrub once every other day before the cleanser to help remove dead skin. Whether this helps the Klear Action work, I am not sure, but it makes my skin soft.

My only complaints about this product are that the Toner bottle, if tipped, LEAKS (so put it in another container or Ziploc if traveling), and that the products in the kit are not sold (to my knowledge) separately. You have to buy a whole new kit.

I am so happy with this Acne Treatment System. I have been using it every day and have had two pimples over the last 2-months. I am no longer breaking out around "THAT time of the Month" and my blemishes have lightened. . . this is a great buy and I love it

I used Pro Activ for three years before giving up, as it just didn't do much for me. I then tried something called Acne Free from University Medical Products, which was just terrible -- it was super-drying and the "lotion" was no lotion at all. It actually gave me acne breakouts. (Any class action lawyers here?)

Then I was browsing drugstore.com and saw this product called Klear Action. Reviews were pretty positive, so I ordered a set from Amazon. Compared to Pro Activ, the Klear Action ("KA") cleanser is milky and much less abrasive. I really liked it more than the Pro Activ ("PA") cleanser. The KA toner seems to be a little more stringent than the PA toner, but not unduly so on my skin which is a little bit more sensitive than the normal face (according to my dermatologist). The KA repair lotion is more watery than the PA lotion, but it disappears once applied to the face, unlike the PA lotion which would stay visible for a few minutes.

So does this work? I think it really depends on the person. There are two aspects to consider here: 1) first, the KA set seems quite gentle so it should be okay for most face, and it seems to be working better than PA in getting rid of my acnes; however, it does not seem to be able to prevent pimples, which disappoints me; 2) second, pimples are like bacteria: after a while, they start resisting the treatment and will persist no matter what anti-acne product you use.

So far, Klear Action can keep my pimples under control. [...]

I've never used "Proactive" but I couldn't imagine it working much better. I'd previously consistently had one or two blemishes, but after a few weeks with Klear Action, I've been totally clear *knock on wood*. I'm currently blemish free and my skin is extremely soft. Definitely use a moisturizer with SPF if you're going out during the day and I recommend 3 times a day for the first few weeks. Now I just keep it up twice a day to make sure zits don't come back. It's pretty amazing stuff. I've heard Proactive is good, but why join a "club" and pay twice as much?
