Review Date: April 6, 2009
Reviewer: A. Boston, Boston, MA United States
I started using proactiv when I was around 22. I had never had acne problems as a teen, but all of a sudden around 21, I would get these large painful cystic blemishes maybe once or twice a month on my chin. They tore down my self esteem whenever I had one. I would be afraid to leave the house and try and schedule my life around the stupid things. These were not little baby white heads, They would take a week or more to come to a head and hurt like you would not believe during that process. Then, they'd take forever to heal. I'm fair with freckles, so a honkin' red mountain the size of a nickel or dime was not good.

I ordered proactiv and have never gone back. Though there has been a time when I tried using only the face wash/scrubby stuff, it doesn't work by itself and I started to break out again. The key really is using the three steps together. Once you get used to it, it's not so tedious to have to go through all three steps. I'm 28 now. I rarely breakout and they're SO much smaller now and really can be attributed to 'that time' of the month. Everyone gets a blemish now and then, but no one should have to live with them every day. We're a household of proactiv users, as my boyfriend uses it daily as well.

For the price I wouldn't hesitate to go and try it for a couple months(thru the proactiv website). I know it's NOT super cheap, but now knowing how it works, I would pay double in a heart beat. And honestly, it takes me probably about 6 months to go thru one kit, so it the end it's not bad at all. Also, some simple tips: Make sure your pillowcase is clean, never go to sleep with makeup on, don't touch your face unnecessarily and don't lean your face on a phone/cell phone. Those few things actually helped a lot as well!

Reviewer: Sophia Williams, california
Before I started using ProActive I was really embarrassed about my skin problems. I'm 26, and it wasn't just acne. I have very sensitive skin, that tends to be on the dry side. So dry before, I would apply a face lotion several times in the morning before putting on any make-up. NOW I can even leave the house without make-up! I didn't have problem skin until a few years ago, and now thanks to ProActive I don't anymore either! Jeez, I know I sound like an infomercial, but I am so grateful my hubby talked me into trying it.
I have found that the face wash can be drying and harsh. So I only use it at night when I need to take my make-up off. In the morning I just splash some cold water on my face, followed by the toner and then the lotion. My face feels great now, and is perfectly clear!
2nd Times a Charm
 
Review Date: July 10, 2009
Reviewer: S. Smith, PA, USA
My skin was fairly bad. I was using the Proactiv Wal-Mart equivalent to no avail. I bought the real Proactiv, and had no luck with that either. A few months later I decided to give it another shot. I followed the steps by the book- step 1, dry my face, wait a few minutes. Step 2, wait for it to dry (less time than step 1.) And then step 3. This time, it has worked amazingly. I don't know that maybe my skin has realized I am no longer 14 and decided to stop ruining me, or that it is because of the Proactiv. I'm still going to keep using it, because I do not want to find out.

Also, I follow step 3 with Equate medicated acne gel. It's not even a gel, but I use it all over my face each time. And, these products WILL bleach your towels/clothes. Definitely wash your hands thoroughly before touching anything else.
A highly effective ance treatment product, but...
 
Review Date: July 16, 2009
Reviewer: Skin Care Geek www.cureacneathome.com,
Proaciv is a highly effective acne treatment brand but, here's the catch - you have to keep at it. Firstly, it takes a few weeks before you see significant results. This is the case for any acne treatment product really - you just HAVE to be consistent and give it time. So, folks looking for a quick solution to their problem (i.e. - clearing up your skin in time for prom or a wedding, for example) will be disappointed.

Secondly, it is not a magic potion capable of "curing" acne. Once you stop using the product, your acne will return unless you take active steps to maintain the health of your skin. It is often believed that merely using a product can be the only change made to help your skin. Clear skin is about more than just using the right brands.... having clear skin is about understanding skin.

Overall, I'd say use this product if you can afford to consistently buy it. If you can't, understand the ways to help keep your skin healthy since, if you don't take those steps, it's HIGHLY likely that you will be disappointed once you stop using Proactiv.
GREAT PRODUCT!!

Reviewer: K. Abel, Baton Rouge, LA
Just like any other acne medicine it works for most, but not for all. But for me it worked wonders. Never having an acne issue, I really never worried about my skin. Then I got pregnant and my hormones knocked me back into puberty I guess. Zits everywhere. I have been using Proactiv for 7 years now and I wouldn't use anything else. In fact after using it for an amount of time, I don't have to use it near as much as when you begin. I skip days and most days only have to use it once. If I start to get a zit, just zap some of the "mask" on it like you would clearasil, and it gets rid of it within a day or two. It is a terrific product and I recommend it so much that I even got it for my 14 year old step-daughter. Who also swears by it.

DO NOT get it from the proactiv website unless you want to pay more and just throw your money away. You pay $30 a month no matter how often you actually get your set. And if you only get your set every 3 months that is 90 bucks plus other shipping fees, etc. that would only pay $60 at the mall for (or less than that on certain websites)... you are paying way over the price it is really worth! And if you deactivate your account you still paid that last 30 bucks for nothing, because if you cancel before your next shipment, you are never going to get that money back even though you didn't get product.

Give it a shot for a few months and I am certain it will work as well for you as it does for me & my family.
Excellent

I have been using proactive since 2005 and it is an excellent product. It literally leaves my face glowing. I use it only once a day, as well.

If you have ever suffered from blemishes I highly recommend it.

Bottom line: Do you want clear, glowing skin? If so, buy this!
Great buy, price and shipment time.

Reviewer: Lotus Lee, Miami
The product arrived within 5 days and was exactly what I ordered. The only suggestion that I would make to the seller is to maybe think about wrapping the bottles in some bubble wrap, provide a little more cushion for the bottles, or ship the product in a box v.s. a large mailing envelope. The bottle tops were slightly dented, but not broken.

Review Date: December 25, 2009
Reviewer: Sassy Scientist, Menlo Park, CA
When I turned 30 and saw acne on my forehead and chin it was the last straw for me. I ordered Proactiv from the company and in combination with my birth control regiment (ie, hormone control), Proactiv is extremely effective for me. When I was younger I used more harsh medications and would cry as my skin would peel off and turn so dry and flaky. Proactiv has never had this type of effect on me and I consider myself to have very sensitive skin. Because I have sensitive skin, my skin does have a bit of redness, but once I put on foundation (I use this mainly as sunprotection), it appears more 'pink' and radiant. Proactiv makes my skin very smooth and even toned and I NEVER have a breakout while using Proactiv along with my hormone control--but if I take a break from the product I can predictably expect a breakout in a week. I do recommend using a moisurizer along with the product. Also, I only use the cleanser once a day (in the morning). At night I use Aveeno clear complexion foaming cleanser (which does not container any scrubbing particles and is quite gentle) along with the other two components of the Proactiv kit.

Now that I am 33 I still love the product, but I hated dealing with the company. For some reason, when you order the product it takes >2weeks for the product to arrive doing the standard $4.99 shipping option. Also, sometimes they would charge me $39.99 for the product and other times $49.99. On Amazon, not only can you always find a $39.99 option or less for the same product, but with Prime I get FREE shipping and it arrives on my doorstep a couple days after I order it. Yay!

I started using Proactive last January and I started noticing a difference within days. I did have an occasional pimple at times but my skin was so much smoother and felt great. I recently stopped using the product and my skin is a nightmare. It is amazing to me how well it worked. I didn't realize it until I stopped using it. You can bet i will be rejoining the club.

Works good but don't use more than once a day.

Reviewer: Lori, Portland, OR USA
I think that this product works good and so many people have complemented my skin since I started using this 2 months ago. I think that it is a bit strong so I only use it once a day instead of 2 to 3 times as the package says to do. For the first wash in the morning I use an antibacterial soap and then a lotion with vitamin E in so that this product won't dry out my skin. And then I use the 3 step system before I go to bed at night. I didn't have super bad acne until I moved from a dry climate to a very humid one. This product not only seem to help with my breakouts but also made my skin tone more even. I think it helps but should not be used as many times a day as they say to.
my 2 cents...
 
Review Date: July 27, 2009
Reviewer: sibylvain83,
I am a 26 year old woman, and I have had acne since I was 16. When I was about 17 I started to use proactiv, and my skin looked great. Then, when I was about 20, I stopped using it. I don't know why, maybe because it was inconvenient to order, and expensive after a while. But my skin became horrible. I tried everything at the drugstore, but nothing worked. So, when I was about 21 I returned to proactiv and again my skin was pretty good (but not perfect). Really, my skin looked fine, nice in photos, and with a little makeup I could cover anything up. Last summer one of my friends recommended Murad, and said it was better. So I decided to try it out, but it was really bad for me. Then I went back to proactiv (but I was just using the cleanser, not the other parts). This spring I went to a salon and was advised to use some other products, so I switched. Big mistake. Now I am out of the US, so I have started to use clinique (have been at it about 3.5 weeks, with some improvement but not much), so as soon as I can I am going to go back to proactiv. It is not perfect, and you really need to use all 3 parts (not just the cleanser), but for me it has been the most effective (and I really have tried almost everything).
Less expensive solutions available

Reviewer: IT Security,
- Works for 13 yr child; you should see positive change within a week. If acne reacts badly, try only once a day at bedtime.
- Expensive since you really pay for the commercials and a known brand name and have to order by phone/online.
- Simple and easy to use, rinses clean. Need cotton pads to apply.
- Other brands available that may be effective for you. Currently trying AcneFree kit since other customers report similar results and it's cheaper and available at drugstores or on Amazon.com.
- Go to acne dot org website and enter "acne" to read about other recommended acne treatment products with same or similar ingredients. Visit acne dot org website to educate yourself about acne and the ingredients to combat it. There's also a product line made by [...] that people seem to like and maybe more cost-effective.

Review Date: May 19, 2010
Reviewer: Samantha Saint Valentine, Salem, MA
I have had life-long problems with moderate to severe acne. I'm 30, and before now, the times when I didn't have at least a few blemishes were far and few between. I rarely, if ever, had perfectly clear and balanced skin. My skin was always blemished, oily, and flaky in places. About 2 years ago it got alot worse for some reason, so I went on Ortho Tri Cyclen hoping that would help. My acne got much much worse after that. It exploded all over the place. I looked like I had smallpox. I went to the dermatologist and started doxycycline (which I liked and continued to use as it helped a lot - though I would still breakout) and also tried using several prescriptions topicals, all of which burned my skin all to hell and my skin peeled all over the place in spite of using a very good moisturizer. Then I tried natural remedies: manuka honey, oatmeal, olive oil, witch hazel, apple cider vinager, vitamins, eating very healthy foods, and so on and so forth. Nothing worked. So finally I tried proactive. I use this system in conjunction with two moisturizers that I LOVE by Lush: Vanishing Cream at night and Gorgeous during the day. A top of the line moisturizer is the key to making this system work, imo. I saw results within a week, and now my skin is ALWAYS clear. If I don't wash my face at night (I wear Mac Studio Fix) I may get a very small blemish that quickly goes away with regular cleansing/maintenance. My skin is also BALANCED for the first time ever. It isn't oily nor dry nor combination. Just soft and balanced. I find that the cleanser runs out very quickly - much faster than the other products ( I only use the toner and lotion - not the mask or anything else by proactiv) - so I use it at night, and use another scrub I like, Aubrey Organics Jojoba Meal and Oatmeal Mask and Scrub with Rose and Lavender for Dry Skin, in the morning. It really, really softens and brightens your skin. I've also found that since using the proactiv and lush moisturizers my acne scars have faded FAST. I bought a skin lightening gel on ebay, but I haven't needed to use it. I'm very please with this system, and I hope it never stops working for me. I don't know what I'd do. This has been the only cure for my acne, which I believe might be hormonal. Do not use this system without an excellent moisturizer and expect good results. What don't I like about these products: the packaging. The bottles are ugly and cheap looking. But the ingredients do produce results. Eventually I was able to stop using doxycycline and my skin has remained clear. I never worry about acne now, and it's such a relief and a blessing. I totally wasted large sums of money at the dermatologist. A+++
Cleared my Skin so QUICKLY!!!
 
Review Date: June 21, 2010
Reviewer: Suzanne Sanchez, Charlies caretaker
I used the Proactive kit only once in High School, when I had a moderate acne phase and all I can remember is that it cleared my skin so rapidly and it was the only thing that worked after trying a slew of acne products both prescription and over the counter. So, whenever I hear a story of someone suffering from acne, I would always swear by Proactive! Here I am 8 years later at 26, and all of a sudden, BAM! I just broke out so bad. I don't know if it was stress or what? But there it was, just like I was in high school. I am by no means vain, but it really is a blow to your self esteem to have acne at ANY AGE and have to face anybody. I am super low maintenance and not a fan of a lot of makeup, so having to pile on makeup to cover my breakouts just felt worse. It seemed that once an area would break out and start healing (which took about a week and a half) I would break out in another area and this cycle just keeps happening. I was on Murad acne system( Absolute Crap....don't buy this at sephora!) , and just desperate for something to clear my skin up. I wanted to go back to my simple makeup routine of a little bronzer, blush and mascara, so I recalled my old experience and advice to other fellow peers that suffer this problem.

I read a lot of reviews of having problems with ordering online and having problems canceling, so I just went to the mall and bought it at a KIOSK. Took this home, it's been 4 days....my skin is already clearing up, with no new pimples forming (the problem that i had). This stuff is just as amazing for me as it was back in high school!!! I must warn those with sensitive skin...this is not for you! I have very oily skin naturally and its not that sensitive, so this has dried it out to the point where it's what Normal skin would be like (I've never experienced normal skin...only very oily skin) So, this WILL DRY YOUR SKIN....but it dries the acne out, so it heals up and goes away faster!

There is something out there for everyone, and this is definitely my solution. Try it, what do you have to lose, there's a money back guarantee!

Reviewer: K. Miller, Chi City
The system has worked well and consistently for me for several years, I just thought I would add that it is possible to buy these at a lot of malls around the US for much cheaper than online or through the proactiv subscription. At my mall, and in others I've seen, you can get this 3-part system for around $25! Proactiv will charge you in two $20 installments ($40) for the same thing and it is obviously more expensive to buy it here too. So look for it at your local mall and good luck

Review Date: December 11, 2008
Reviewer: S. Perkins, san antonio, TX
I gave it 3 stars because it did work at first.

My acne problems aren't that serious.
This product worked very well for a good month...and then it stopped being effective. For some reason, even though the wash is a scrub it wasn't exfoliating properly...and it dried me out. My esthetician said that Proactiv usually works in the beginning for most of her clients...

I remember her telling me once that I didn't need a salicylic or Jessner peel. I figure, well--maybe the Proactiv was too strong for me...because it stripped my face of moisture.

But...the mask is very good. It's creamy and cooling. I still go back and forth between the Proactiv mask and the DDF sulfur mask (which is VERY effective). These days I use the Mint Julep Queen Helene scrub, a face wash from the spa I frequent, witch hazel as an astringent (it's non-drying on my face) and pure/unrefined shea butter as a moisturizer.
Overpriced for the standard system style effectiveness
 
Review Date: July 17, 2009
Reviewer: Mir, North Miami Beach, FL USA
This system will improve your acne if you can tolerate it and you use it consistently and diligently. If you have very sensitive skin, forget it. This will make eczema/dermatitis/rosacea go insane. I know from experience.

However, I find that I really like the Renewing Cleanser, so while I don't buy the whole system anymore, I do ebay or amazon up the cleanser (beware some buyers that will rip you off, even on amazon, believe it or not, sure, but most are fine.) I've been using Acne Free's REDNESS RELIEF, which has worked better for me (due to my eczema/dermatitis) than ProActiv. Much gentler. But I do use the ProActiv cleanser more often than the AcneFree RR one, because the quality of the scrubbing grains is unbeatable. Much gentler --smoother, less rough--and smaller than in other systems. Less irritating if used with care.

So, if you have hardy skin and don't mind paying more for somewhat (though not ragingly) better quality than you get with some other drugstore systems (which all have about the same active ingredients, ie, exfoliating acids, scrubs, benzoyle peroxide and/or salicylic acid) try this. It can help.

Only you know what your skin can tolerate. Mine can't tolerate most of this system, but thumbs up on the scrubby cleanser.

But if you want to pay significantly less for a system that can be quite effective (I have quite improved acne and sometimes get comments that I'm glowing, hah!) try Acne Free (whichever system is for your skin type). You can find it here on amazon and in CVS and Walgreens type stores, etc.
Not the best acne treatment anymore

Reviewer: Lorena M. Moreno, South Texas
I've been using Proactiv for about 8 years, but on and off. When the stuff first became popular, I was still in high school and my mother had to charge it to her card for me. What a pain! Back then they would ship it every month whether you needed it or not. I ended up having so much backed up that I eventually had my mom cancel the whole membership. It lasted me through college! After everything fianlly ran out, or expired, I used regular drug store cleansers, but they'd bleach my clothes or towels and often dry out my face or just stop working all together. I had never had that problem with Proactiv so I decided to start ordering it again about two years ago. I got stuck with the same problem with the vitamins (Vitaclear). They seemed like a good idea and thought that I'd just keep taking them, but they made me so nauseous and didn't help my face, or anything, at all. It took a month of searching the internet to finally get the number to call to cancel. THEN after I cancelled, they told me they were STILL going to charge me for one more shipment and send it anyway. I was so frustrated I just told them OK. Oh, and now all of a sudden, Proactiv bleaches certain clothes and has bleached all my towels. Even when used in the shower. A good number of my fiance's shirts are ruined from sleeping on his shoulder at night. I had to tell him to sleep with a shirt off so I didn't bleach any of his shirts because we never knew if it would mess it up or not. I've always loved Proactiv and it really does work if used consistently and correctly, but I think at this point it is more of a hassle. Even though I have it set up to ship every 12 weeks, it always ships and charges me so randomly. I hate to cancel because it really did work for me in high school, but I think I might be switching to the Neutrogena kit. I think that now there are so many other products out there that can do the same, if not better, than Proactiv and that are much cheaper and less of a hassle.

Reviewer: Jason A. Schrauth,
I was using Proactiv for almost 3 months...but the end of the 2nd month my skin was so dry it would just flake off...but since I seen such a good improvement I kept with it.
Well having dry skin clogged my pores more, so it eventually started breaking me out, so I stopped using it and switched to something less harsh, but now my acne is getting worse again. Im not sure if I will start Proactiv up again or not.
When I went to cancel the order, since I have 2 back up supplies since I only used it 1 time day--they gave me a huge hassle, so I eventually just went online to e-mail them and cancel it that way.
We will see what happens after I try this new system.
Im 21, and have had acne since 13, and its getting worse each year. Im white with fair semi-sensitive skin.

Reviewer: R. Fox,
I have used Proactiv for about 4-5 years. In the beginning it worked great for me. I used to swear by it. I never left home without it. I think its still a great product and I use it only a couple of times a week now. The reason for that is because I recently have been under an extreme amount of stress lately. My face has gotten out of control with acne and I believe it is because of the stress. No product including the Proactiv solution has worked for me. I need get rid of my stress before my skin can begin to heal. So I would recommend the product. I think everyone's situation is different and they should at least try it.

This works ok. It cleared up my skin, but didn't end the breakouts entirely. I am into my 20s and my skin is worse now than when I was a teenager, and I stopped using this and am still on the lookout for a skin-fixer. One thing is the areas that didn't breakout were very polished and exfoliated.

Review Date: July 27, 2010
Reviewer: S. Coleman, Dallas, TX USA
Though Proactiv Solution works pretty well for me, I have never seen a product vary so drastically from one user to another. I started getting terrible acne in the 9th grade, and it had a major effect on my confidence. People would stare at my zits--and not into my eyes--whenever we were having a conversation, and my 10th grade history teacher even held me back at the end of class specifically to recommend a skin care product that she had ordered from Avon. If that were not embarrassing enough, my acne reached a peak during my senior year of high school--the primetime of every young woman's life. Every inch of my cheeks was covered in bright red, pus-filled pimples. It was so terrible that some people looked disgusted to even stand near me, and I had to wear a TON of concealer for my senior photos--which only exacerbated the problem as soon as picture day was over. After my high school graduation, I started spending a lot of time out at the pool, and (despite what the experts say), the sun drastically improved my skin. My face turned really red one day when I forgot the sunblock, and the next day, all of the zits were gone. However, when the summer ended and I went to college in the fall, the zits came back. It was then that I decided that I need something stronger than an over-the-counter medicine to deal with my skin. After watching a commercial for Proactiv Solution, I ordered it over the phone on a whim. The first few weeks didn't give me any results, but after a about a month, the product worked to its full potential. I have been using it for almost two years now, and I am very happy with my decision to purchase it. Though it has not provided the magical results that are showcased in every commercial (I still get a couple of pimples every couple of weeks, my face is not the horrible red mask that it once was. Unlike some reviewers reported, the product does not dry my face out at all, and I haven't experienced any redness. The most redeeming product of the entire system is the toner. Though it does not smell very potent, it succeeded in removing from my hands and forearms a botched application of self-tanning lotion that almost a week of constant scrubbing did nothing to help. For me, this is very good stuff. Unfortunately, as I stated, this product varies so widely from customer to customer that it is hard to determine the effectiveness of its use. In my circle of friends, three girls (myself included) are using Proactiv. My skin reacted very nicely to the product, but the other two weren't as lucky. One of the girls had mild acne and experienced no change in her condition. Another girl had moderate acne and experienced such severe burning and redness of the skin that she discontinued usage and even voluntary went through the seven levels of Hell (also known as Proactiv Customer Service) to get a refund.

Overall, here are my basic recommendations for those considering using Proactiv:

1.) Since results vary so widely between each user, buy the smallest amount of the product that is available. That way, if it does not match your particular needs, you are not out an arm and a leg on something totally useless

2.) Beware of the freebies/extras. The basic three step Proactiv system and the Daily Oil Control lotion work wonders (compared to the "before" situation), but the other items in the Proactiv line were actually pretty damaging. As a "free gift", I received a tube of the Refining Mask. I applied it according to the directions, but approximately twenty minutes after I removed it, my face was covered in large red, itchy blotches. I immediately threw the tube in the garbage, and by the time I resumed using my regular system the next day, the spots were gone. So, if you get extras in the mail, proceed with caution.

3.) DO NOT, under any circumstances, tell the representative that you want a free month's supply VitaClear Vitamins with your purchase. First of all, the vitamins are disgusting. VitaClear comes in a box with thirty individually wrapped packets of 5 vitamins. After taking that first packet of five vitamins one morning, I had to make a run to the restroom to vomit. The next day, I had didn't throw up, but I did a second time after using the vitamins a few days later. Though I followed the direction to eat before usage, no matter how much or how little I ate, I would puke at least twice a week. If this is not enough, as soon as you agree to accept a free order, you (unknowingly) sign yourself up to receive auto-shipments of Vitaclear every two months--which means that your credit card will automatically be charged $29.99 every six or weeks. I have no idea how to cancel an account with VitaClear (which is sold by a different company than Proactiv). The only reason I stopped receiving shipments was because I changed addresses and my credit card just happened to expire that same month. So, if you like swallowing five vitamins each day that will make you puke, feel free to sign up for auto shipments of a product that is impossible to cancel.

4.) As I mentioned previously, Customer Service is Hell (according to the people I know who have tried to cancel). If you want to cancel your account, you have to locate the customer service number from the website or from your previous bill. Proactiv does not allow easy online cancellations or (to my knowledge) mail-in requests to cancel. Then, when you call a representative and mention that you want to cancel your account, you are mysteriously put on hold for an indefinite amount of time--though they jump at the chance to talk to you if you are willing to order Proactiv. If you are not put on hold, the reps will talk in circles and try to convince you to order more products. One of my friends who successfully canceled her account recommended setting up a web count on the Proactiv site, going to the help feature, and then emailing a representative with the question "How do I cancel my account?" A rep contacted her by email a few days later, asked for her account number, and subsequently canceled the account. I recommend following this procedure or continue to receive the automatic shipments each month.
Overall, this product worked for me, but it will not work for everyone. It is kind of like spinning the Wheel of Fortune or flipping a coin...only this time, instead of head and tails, the sides are "Clear Skin" and "Not".

Everyones skin is different and for my skin, this didnt do the trick. I gave it two stars because it doesnt dry out your skin like the others and the mask that comes with it takes away the redness of a pimple, nothing more nothing less.

Reviewer: J. Henton,
I've had really serious acne since I was eleven or twelve. Proactiv irritated my face (by step 3 my face always burned so badly I'd have to fan my face to stop it), left my skin dry and didn't give me consistent results (the acne always came back in a few weeks.) If you have severe acne I'd recommend a dermatologist. I've been going for almost a year now and my face is clear. Don't use Proactiv.
Overpriced
 
Review Date: December 3, 2009
Reviewer: C. White,
First of all, order from anyone but Proactiv itself to try the product out. You have to be careful these days because nearly all "risk free trials" are enrollment programs. So, to TRY the product for real I outright bought a one month supply from that other site.

*It's not a bad system really, I like the textures and the toner scent. I even saw some improvement. But not enough to justify being enslaved to the Proactiv line (and prices) for the rest of my days.

*The sizes of the one month supply and the corresponding price seem grossly out of sync to me. I would be willing to spend $30 quarterly tops, but monthly? No.

*It all felt like an exploiting of common sense to me. Wash your face twice a day with nearly anything (for your skin type of course), follow it with any mild toner, and top it off with a thin layer of a salicylic acid or benzoyle peroxide treatment. You can find all that and more at your local Walgreens.

I have found that my best results come from:

1) wash face twice a day - let dry completely
2) use mild toner - let dry completely
3) (morning) pat oil free moisturizer on - let dry completely before applying makeup
(evening) apply acne treatment, let dry completely, pat moisturizer on, let dry completely

Good luck.

Reviewer: CoffeeBean,
ProActive came up with some new formula..micro something....I don't like it, DOESN'T WORK. It dries the face, but does NOTHING for acne. I am so disappointed. I used ProActive before and it worked, but whatever they did to the product, they messed up. They should reverse this formula to old one.
Temporarily Great
 
Review Date: July 20, 2010
Reviewer: omgwtf, Atlanta, GA
I used this product off and on just about every year for a few months each time until I finally came to my senses. The first few months it did in fact get rid of my pimples and did leave my face feeling cleaner, smoother and softer. However, consistently over the years after about 5 months of using this product every day, I would then get some very deep and painful cystic acne. These cystic boils I got after 5 months of proactive were usually some of the largest I've ever had. And the hyper-pigmentation redness left over took typically over a year or two to go away completely.

I read up about how these Benzoyl peroxide treatments ruin the ph balance of your skin and once your skin gets used to it, the bacteria just buries itself deeper into the surface where the BP can't reach it, causing deep cystic pimples/boils.

I have tried a number of different non-BP acne skin care systems. None of them get rid of the acne quite as fast as proactive but the benefits are more or less permanent as long as you maintain a healthy skin care regimen. The product that seems to have worked for me best is a new brand called Suki. I got it at my local health store. The stuff works and its natural, and its also available on Amazon.

For the scarring and red marks that are leftover from previous acne cysts I have recently purchased a derma roller with over 200 tiny 0.5mm threaded pieces coming off of it that penetrate the skin forcing your body to create more collagen to heal those minut spots (in turn giving you smoother, younger looking skin). Google it and you'll see what I'm talking about. I bought my derma roller off of ebay for about $20 bucks. I also plan on using bio oil (purchased from amazon for about 10 bucks)in tangent with the derma roller. Will post an update on results when I get them.

But my advice, do not get your skin into that never ending cycle that typically comes when using products with BP. Once you start doing that it will be hard to get back to a normal PH and in the end your skin will suffer. I've been down this road many many times, trust me.
there are better ways

Reviewer: not mark twain, denver, co
This product worked great at first. My skin looked really good at first. I bought a 2nd batch of the product. Then my skin started drying out. I thought it would go away, since before my skin would break out then get dry, then break out then get dry. I continued to use it and my skin kept getting dryer and dryer. I had to quit using it. I like the mask that came with it though. It doesn't work as a spot pimple treatment like on the commercials, but it does have a nice cooling effect.
Prevents Pimples, Does Not Clear Skin
 
Review Date: May 5, 2010
Reviewer: M. Abunie,
The product is advertised on television as "clearing skin." It does not do that and here's why. I've got scars on my face, as I'm sure many others who have suffered with or continue to suffer from acne. These scars come in various depths and also in two different colors (pink and purple). So proactiv does not clear skin. There are also other reasons that pull the effectiveness of this product down, but I'll talk about that after I explain why I gave it two stars instead of going for only one. What proactiv does fairly well is that it generally prevents pimples from forming and that is ONLY if you use this product every day. That being said, I bought the "two month supply" and there is no way the amount advertised as a two month supply is supposed to last that amount of time. I get about a months worth with thiose small bottles. Maybe I'm applying too much of each suppliment but then again maybe they exaggerate their claims (not a first for any corporation). Another downside is that it seems when somebody takes a few days off of this product, that the pimples come back even larger, which means more pain and also a possible scar.

One last note: it's $50 for a "two month supply," that's $300 a year!

Scam warning!

I purchased this from Proactiv's site, and let me warn you-they will try to scam you!
I received my product, and was disappointed first of all by the tiny bottles. Second, the product didn't work for me at all, and my skin is not too awful to begin with. And last-here's the kicker, when I chose my "free gift" of vitamins, they neglected to tell me they were signing me up for auto shipments of vitamins from a totally separate company! I received a supply of vitamins that I didn't order, and didn't know I was being charged for! I had to send them back, and call several times asking for my refund. And they only gave me a partial refund at that!
I had to call back two more times because they said they canceled my order but they didn't.
My warning to you-be cautious if you order this from their site!!

POroActiv will NOT refund your money and puts you on auto-shipments once you order ANYTHING from them. My second auto shipment was 2 boxes of stuff for over $100! I sent it back in July and was promised a refund...NOTHING! Don't give them your credit card # or else use a preloaded credit card # so they can't keep charging you. Their customer service reps will just lie and say you are getting your money back but you never will!! Too bad they don't let you just buy the product ONCE to TRY IT but you NOOoooo you can't--no matter what, if you buy a kit you are enrolled AUTOMATICALLY in their "skin care club" which translated means: we will send you boxes of stuff you didn't order and charge your credit card forever!!

Reviewer: Sarah Medeiros, MA
I actually bought this product from a kiosk. My skin isn't too awful, but for some reason nothing I seemed to try would clear up what i did have. So at my wit's end i decided to try Proactiv based on all the positive things i heard. I also wanted to have access to the 60 money back guarantee just in case it didn't work. So with high expectations i began my trial period. As i kept using the product it seemed to me to actually make my skin worse in certian areas and completely strip my face of moisture. It seemed to me that unfortunately this product failed to deliver said promise. Due to reasons i couldn't return the product at exactly the 60 day mark. When i had an opportunity i went to return the product to the same kiosk i bought the product from only to be informed that because i didn't return it on EXACTLY 60 days they could not refund my purchase. Also, there was a corporate rep at the kiosk and he informed us that there was no exception to be made for anyone. I asked for a customer care number, was informed they don't have one and was given another number to call instead. Frankly, in my opinion, this is a scam. There is a 60 day trial period where at the end of said trial i myself no better than i had been before the trial, if a little more worse off. I intend to call the supplied number but i have low hopes of that going very far. I am completely disappointed in the product and also the customer service provided by kiosk and corporate members. I should warn anyone trying this product for the first time, don't do this unless you can have opportunity to return EXACTLY 60 days from purchase. After all the hype from this company and its products i expected better treatment than i received. VERY UNSATISFIED.

Initially, it cleared up my skin but after a few weeks there was my acne with a vengeance. It really isn't non-irritating because it ripped my skin apart (so much for the "spa quality botanicals"), so it was really fun having red, irritated skin with acne! I think it might work for teens or people in their early 20's, but not for me (I started breaking out at 23).
I wasn't impressed
 
Review Date: February 5, 2009
Reviewer: Mae L. Lanclos, Baton Rouge, LA
I had pretty bad acne in high school, so I was really excited to try the new Proactive skin solution with only 5% of people not getting results. Well, I guess I made it to that 5%. I found it did not help me AT ALL. My skin didn't clear up, and I made sure to follow the directions exactly. In fact, my dermatologist doesn't recommend it at all. I became much better off using prescripton-strength creams that my doctor recommended.

Oh, and when I called Proactive to request a refund, they gave me a good 15-minute speech (including putting me on the phone with her supervisor for further influencing) on why to keep with it. A complete pain and a bit awkward to turn them down after all that. That is probably why they're disapproval rate is only 5% - they harass you in order to deter you from the refund!

I used this product for three days and after a shave my face was burning like crazy. My face turned really red and unsightly. Three days later the burning is almost gone, but my skin is pealing off, is really dry, and looks awful. I don't dare to use this product again and have gone back to my Costco bought body lotion which works ten times better. Proactive might work as a last resort for people with really greasy and pimple prone skin, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. Think of it as pure medicine, chemicals meant to peal your skin off. Thumbs down from me. Their customer support really sucks too so I am sending my box back.

1st time, it dry my skin a lot but I tried to keep faithfull till I finish the bottles. Well, besides drying my skin, it gave me more acnee.

2nd time and a year later, I tried it again. Same exact results. I completely gave up and would not purchase it again.

I had only mild acne, but products from the drugstore did not help. I decided to give Proactive a try and after the first use of the three step system, I woke up with acne worse than I had since I was a teenager. I used the Refining Mask and that took care of it over night (that is a good product, but can only be used twice a week). I tried the three step program for a few more days to see if my face would adjust and it didn't. I just made me break out really bad.

I cannot continue to use this product, so I plan to cancel.
Extremely overpriced and dries out skin

Reviewer: Dice,
What a horrible product! I tried proactive a couple years ago and first of all every tiny bottle they send you costs an absolute fortune. Second, all proactive did for my skin was irritate and dry it out. Whats funny is their miracle secret formula for killing zits is guess what? Benzoyle peroxide!! Wow what a breakthru thats what every other product uses!!! Only difference is proactive marks up their items about 1000% higher than everyone else. To make things worse after i sent back the bottles for my "risk free" trial they only gave me a small refund claiming i didn't send back all the bottles (which I did) and they said i couldn't prove it. Luckily now I actually am using stridex essential pads with vitamins (which doesn't dry out my skin) together with a walmart generic benzoyle peroxide gel and i have clear skin for a tiny fraction of the price of proactive and with no irritation. Overall I give proactive a grade F

Reviewer: JohnnyO,
The product just didn't work at all. I saw no difference in the condition of my acne. I have rather mild acne and thought this product would help. It did not. While this next remark has nothing to do with my review as this is a review of the product and not the company itself, I would like to reemphasize what others have said: Do not order from Proactive's website. They automatically sign you up to receive a shipment every month. Canceling my membership was a customer service nightmare. I had to cancel multiple times as they continued to send the product and bill me after I canceled. Calling them on the phone meant wait times of 15-45 minutes to speak to someone.
Contains Benzoyl Peroxide

Reviewer: Ember, Maine, USA
I've been seeing the infomercials for Proactiv since I was 12 or so. I'm 33 now. One thing that always really bothered me about those ads is that they either don't disclose, or bury the fact, that this medication contains benzoyl peroxide. This is a real problem for a lot of people who allergic to that chemical, including me.

I would've thought that Amazon, at least, would list the active ingredients. Guess not.

Apparently there is a "gentle" version of this product that uses salicylic acid instead. But neither product is going to be any different than your Clearasils and Neutrogenas.

Reviewer: Richard L. Pohl, Omaha, NE
I bought this razor to replace a 6 month old Architec. The architec was one of the poorest performing razors I have ever owned in over 40 years. So I bought this razor with very low expectations.
I was totally amazed by the 7310. It is so quiet the bathroom fan almost drowns it out, but the cut is AMAZING. I have had seven Norelco shavers so when I tried this unit, I couldn't believe it. I can shave in 30 seconds instead of the 7 minutes for the Architec. It is close, comfortable, no heavy pressing to get a close cut, and best of all is the price. The whole new shaver was cheaper than buying just the replacement head for the Architec. And the 7310 is EASY to clean. Flip the head, flush under running water for a few seconds, and let it dry. No static whisker cling like the Architec. I'd give it six stars if I could.
Thanks, Norelco

I am actually a barber and i need to buy one of these a little more often than the average person that uses it for personal use. I only stay with the NORELCO brand tho. I like their products and they always last. This one from the gate gives a really smooth shave. I have been using it for 2 months straight, 5 days a week on people and the blades are still sharp. If it lasts me a year or two for my job, then it can last like up to 5 years for personal use. Definitely a good buy!

Reviewer: 21st Century Hermit, Colorado
Pros:
Very close and comfortable shave
Excellent sideburn trimmer
Good battery life
Charge completed flashing LED's
Price is right if . . .

Cons:
No battery status indication, none expected
Tacky colors

I've been shaving for over forty years, mostly electric and mostly Norelco. For 3-months I had a Remington R450, see my review, huge dissapointment. Every couple of years Norelco tries to come up with a new gimmick to get us to purchase the latest and greatest. Thing is that Norelco got it right 30-years ago. The cutters and combs in the 7310 are the essence of that technology and if you can spin the cutters you'll have a close shave. All the other Whistles & Bells are just fluff.

Norelco claims 10 days of cordless shaving on a 8-hour charge. The charge full indicator started flashing at 2-hours, done. I went 9-days and wondered how much longer, on the tenth day the motor started slowing down and it quit halfway through the eleventh day. By stretching the battery after the first charge/discharge I was able to get 12-days, well actually 11.9-days, could have used another minute of shaving. I stretch a NiCd by running the battery dead with the cutters flipped open for the lowest motor load. Pretty impressive for a single AA NiCd battery.

People claim this is a good/great budget shaver. Nonsense, this is a excellent cordless shaver that can be had at a budget price. I got mine from the big W for thirty-one to my PO Box. It came in the full retail blister pack. By the time I got it to my house, 8500-feet, I thought it was going to explode. I saw at least two retailers have it for a bit less on Black Friday. Makes you wonder what the models that cost 4-5 times as much have to offer?

So why is it ugly? Well of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this old eye doesn't do black and white on a shaver, all black . . sure, all white . . probably not, all silver like my deceased 7865XL's . . YES!!! I still gave the 7310 5-stars, I don't see the colors while shaving. BTW, I do like the white power switch.

If you look at the photos I posted, you'll see that the 7310 consists of a small waterproof power module encased in four cosmetic shells. It's these shells that allow Norelco to play the silly color games at no additional cost. The sides even have rubber bonded to the shell. Turns out I shave with my thumb between the power switch and head and my fingers over the trimmer, so I don't even feel the "slip proof" rubber. Where are your fingers?

So if the feature set meets your needs, don't hesitate to get the 7310, it will deliver a comfortable close shave. As to the colors, only you can decide.
Simple to Use and Shaves Great
 
Review Date: September 3, 2009
Reviewer: R. Kolin, Virginia Beach, VA USA
I've been using this razor daily for about a month now. The first thing you will notice is how quiet it is, followed by the great shave it provides and finally how easy it is to clean up by just running it under hot water. While charging takes about 8 hours, it stays charged for a long, long time. Since the initial charge, I've only had to charge it twice. I was using a Braun Series 1 1-150 razor (see my review) and liked it. But I found that over time, it did not shave very well under my chin and on my neck, and it took a lot of time to fully do the job correctly. Not so with the Norelco! As with all electric razors, I recommend that you use a pre-electric shave lotion (I like Afta Pre-Shave) to make the shave easier and cause less razor burn.

I absolutely love it. Can't believe my face endured the trauma of shaving with a blade all those years. I actually look forward to shaving now. Recently I had stopped shaving (with a blade) on weekends to give my face a rest. But now I shave everyday with the Norelco - and love it.

Buy with confidence.
The best Norelco
 
Review Date: January 23, 2010
Reviewer: J. Funderburgh,
I have been using Norelco shavers since I got fuzzy 40 years ago. This one is the best. It is amazingly light and quiet. It shaves well. I've needed to charge the batteries 3 times in 4 months. You can use it while charging the batteries. Best of all, to clean it you pop it open and stick it under the faucet. Dont waste your money on the high priced gadgets, This one is the best.
Price - Performance Sweet Spot

Reviewer: Cal A. Forniadreaming, Silicon Valley, CA, USA
Strictly from a shaving performance point of view, this model performs as well as much more expensive Norelco shavers. I also own a Norelco 8175XL that costs 3 times as much and uses the blades advertised as having "50% more shaving area." This shaves as fast, close, and comfortable as the more expensive shavers. If you've owned older Norelco shavers, you'll be pleased by advances such as a quiet motor, lithium ion (LiOn) batteries instead of nickel cadmium (NiCad), and the ability to clean the shaver by running it under the faucet. What it lacks is some indicator that the battery is running low. Some reviewers have commented on the fact that it takes 10 hours to recharge, whereas more expensive Norelco's rechage in 1 hour. I actually prefer the slower charge. The fast charge razors state that you should unplug the charger as soon as the charge is complete. I find it much more convenient to plug it in either overnight or when I go to sleep, then to remember to unplug it in an hour. Overall, a great value for the money.

Reviewer: Fred Wegland, NJ, USA
I've used this razor for about a year now, and it's fantastic.

As an Army man, I shave twice a day, keep my razor in my vehicle, and charge it once a week. The only time it scared me was leaving in the car when it was below freezing. If it's very cold, the razor just needs to be warmed-up before it will start.

As a dark-haired fair-skinned man in the Army, this razor's never let me down.
Very Good Shaver

Reviewer: VA Dare, Oak Hill, VA
I bought the Philips Norelco 7310 last summer and have purposely held off writing a review until I had had a chance to see the battery capacity and use it over a reasonable period. It lives up to its promises! I am very surprised by the comments of other reviewers that the battery capacity is not up to expectation. I have used the shaver every day over the course of months and have had to charge it only 5 times (almost a month per charge). The speed of the motor does seem unexpectedly slower than earlier examples of the type, but it does not affect the shave. Directions say that it can be washed under a stream of tap water to clean it and I have. That has seemed to cause no problem with the device. I have used it without problem both at home and on a sailboat (for weeks) in a salt-air environment. The shaver provides a quick close shave with little if any irritation. I hate to pass out 5-star ratings without solid justification, but this thing earns 5-stars. At the price point it is hard to beat this shaver.

Review Date: June 15, 2010
Reviewer: J. Waddell, USA
I had a Quadra Action Norelco (It cost me about 100 bones when I purchased it new) that took the HQ6 blades. I owned it 5-6 years until I dropped it and broke the head assembly. I loved that razor so much that I actually tried to by a new Head Assembly for it but they quit making them for the series I had.

So I did reviews for two weeks on razors, not to mention called Norelco customer service 3 times to ask questions.
I'm going to make this easy for you:

This Norelco model has HQ8 blades in it. Some with HQ8 blades cost a hundred bones, others 30 bones.
This does what any "high cost" shaver does with the same blades in it. Why? Because it's the same blades! (the main key to "shaving").

The others might have a cooler colors, fancier looking lights, or a stand, battery meter, that don't give you a better shave, but just have added features for the pretty package wow factor.

Myself I use my Razor to SHAVE.

This Razor shaves just as close if not closer than my Quadra Norelco that had the HQ6 Blades in it (The blades in this are suppsed to be a steap up, but I see little difference)

No Lie, I talked to 3 people at Norelco. And I asked them about the other "higher priced Norelcos" razors, vs this razor. (even inquired about the arcitec)

All of them told me that the only difference was the added features (lights, bells & whistles, faster charge time), but the shave will be just as close in this one than any others they sell. (One rep even told me that the arcitec was one of there most returned razors.

Take it for what it's worth. But for the extremely low cost on this bad boy with the High End Blades but after doing research, talking to Norelco reps I think this truly is a no brainer.

Get this shaver, charge it up and enjoy.

Awesome just received this product yesterday, charged it up and used it today, it's quiet enough and it's a newer style than I have been using for the past 4 years ( a norelco reflex plus). Instead of buying replacement blades I upgraded to a sportier style and am looking forward to using this for years to come. Thanks Norelco and keep up the good work

I had a similar model that lasted several years and this one is even better. It is quieter, holds a charge longer, and cuts closer. For almost the price of replacement rotary blades you get a new shaver.

Reviewer: Ke Liu, Buffalo, NY
I should first say that for this price, what you get is a quite decent shaver. I am a big fan of the 7310 so far. It is more precise and comfortable than the 6xxx series.It is sold as 7320 in Europe to my knowledge as just "Philips" no Norelco, same exact features. CVS now has it for cheaper price, including 5ECB.
Good things:
1. price
2. comfortable
3. efficient
Things to improve:
1. It seems to work only after you charge it up. That means it takes 9 hours for a fully charge.
2. a little noisy when working
3. t doesn't shave the philtrum (nose-lip area) well
By the way, it's 100-240V, so in any country you can use it.

Review Date: February 6, 2010
Reviewer: jimazee, hawleyville
I have used electric shavers for many years. I looked for a reasonably priced, competent shaver. This is one.

It shaves and trims well. It holds a charge long enough to be useful. It runs fine when plugged in, the plug is even small and light. I have only used it a few months so can't comment on long term battery or other durability. It is easily cleaned, allowing use of water. It light weight with nice balance and feel when in use. Simple to use, there are no cutting height or other adjustments but, because it is a basic shaver, others may be do some jobs better such as: extremely long/tough beards; special skin; or shaving exceptionally close. I don't need any of these so it is no problem.

It is not fancy or loaded with 'stuff'. It just does its job. All in all a good value.

I bought the Philips Norelco 7310 to replace my beloved Braun electric. I was a devoted Braun user- I previously had 3 Braun units. The 7310 outperforms them and is extremely quiet compared to the Braun(s). It gives a good close shave, no irritation, holds a charge for a very long time (about a week of shaves minimum), is lightweight and easy to hold. Best of all, cost about 1/4 of what my Braun(s) did. I highly recommend this product.
Great Razor, charge lasts a long time.

I bought this to replace a similar (corded, non-portable) Norelco razor which ate one of its teeth. It's very quiet, does a decent job shaving and the run-it-under-the-faucet-to-clean feature is extremely useful. I think my previous (10-12 year-old) Norelco got clogged up, contributing to its violent end.
Quite a good shaver for the price.

Reviewer: T. Singer, San Anselmo, CA USA
I recently replaced my Panasonic ES8097A with this model, which is about half the price of the Panasonic. This Philips model is quieter than all linear blade razors that I've used. The first charge on the battery actually lasted 23 days for me, although I'm a pretty easy shave. The battery dies suddenly and then you can plug it in to finish a shave (with full power to it). The shave is close enough that I no longer do a manual shave once a week and this model does a great job on my neck compared to previous linear blade systems as well. For ~$45, this is a great deal so far.

Philips Norelco 7310 Men's Shaving System This is an above average electric shaver, for the price, under 29.00$ at Wally World, I have used Norelco triple head rotary shavers for over 15 years, well, I have replaced a few heads also, but for the price of this one, you don't have to worry about head replacement, just go get a new shaver for under 29.00$ and another good thing, they are guaranteed for a full two years, now, for the closeness of the shave, they are as close as a manual razor, your face feels like a new born baby's bottom.after you shave! So, I will give the 7310 a five star rating!!

I shaved with this for the first time yesterday. I had about 3 days worth of whiskers and it easily cut them. My prior razor was also a Norelco and I owned it for at least 3 years. It never gave me any problems at all. I am very happy with how this one is made. The pop up head is a nice feature and makes cleaning it easy. I also like having a push button to turn it on instead of sliding a switch. I am glad that I did not opt to buy anything more expensive because I don't see how I'd be any more pleased.

I had previously owned an older Norelco model that I had gotten in high school. I had it for about 10 years before I started traveling for work. After several months of getting banged around in my luggage during business travels, it finally died and this is the replacement. I really wasn't looking for anything fancy...I just wanted something that would give me a decent shave. I don't have a very thick beard so my requirements weren't very heavy. So far, this thing has been a welcome improvement over my old model. Still just as easy to use, comfortable in my hand and even gives a closer shave with less effort. I'd buy it again.

I've had several electric razors of several different brands ranging from $20 to $80, and the Norelco 7310 is my favorite. When you turn it on it actually sounds underpowered because it's much quieter than my previous razors, but it does a surprisingly good job. In fact I think it gives me a closer shave than any of my other electric razors, particularly on my neck, which is a difficult area. The battery also lasts through several shaves, the trimmer works well, it's easy to clean, and easy to recharge.

It's a great electric razor for the price.

I decided to purchase this razor after reading most of the customer reviews and the product description. Here is what I found.

Packaging:
This razor arrived undamaged BEFORE the expected arrival day. The unit was shipped in the original packaging. The packaging was a bit difficult to open because it's designed for loss prevention at retail stores, which is understandable.

Product:
I keep my entire head shaved except for my goatee and this razor did a good job of shaving everything.

Thoughts:
I expected the closeness of the shave to be less than that of more expensive razors, but that was not the case. I am very happy with this product.

The Wife Says "Best Ever" For Her....
 
Review Date: July 23, 2006
Reviewer: IAMSLICK,
This hair dryer is the third in a series of attempts to find the right hair dryer for my wife, who has long thick hair. The first one was a Vidal Sassoon that had ionic technology, but didn't get near hot enough. She was drying her hair for > 20 minutes.

The second attempt was the Revlon RV469 ceramic, which was much quieter and got hotter, but didn't have much air flow. Also, it is quite heavy. It was better than the first dryer, but not hair drying nirvana.

This dryer (Revlon RV544) has easily cut my wife's drying time in half. She has very thick & long hair, and the high heat setting makes quick work of it. It gets hot enough that I actually tone it down to warm for myself (I have short, thick hair) whenever I have to use the dryer. I think the air flow settings are perfect. The dryer is also nice and light, and fits in a bathroom drawer easily, unlike some of the bulkier models out there.

My wife thinks this is the best dryer she has ever had. We highly recommend it.

Reviewer: Legend in My Own Mind, San Francisco, CA
I cannot say enough good things about this dryer! It dries incredibly quickly, is the lightest I have ever owned, and is very reasonably priced. I was going to buy the T3 Tourmaline for nearly 10 times the price, until I realized the seller would not honor its warantee on products purchased through Amazon. I have forever retired my previous ceramic dryer, which strained my arm so much, I considered installing a bracket on my body to hold it up. Other small details that make a difference: loop for hanging; buttons well-placed so on/off and cold setting are not hit by accident; comfortable to hold by nozzle instead of handle if desired.

I first reviewed this product in 2006. I don't use it every day, but it's held up for almost four years. I continue to be pleased with it.
Light and Effective--Great Buy!
 
Review Date: September 5, 2007
Reviewer: Sydney, Lexington, MA USA
I was a skeptic when it came to hairdryers--they all blow air into your hair and it dries, right? Not so! The technology in this hair dryer is tourmaline ionic, meaning it reduces static, frizz, and boosts shine. I had a vidal sassoon before, and a Conair before that, and they were supposedly "ionic" but my hair was still quite a bit frizzy afterwards.

This Revlon is amazing, though--my hair is so straight, sleek, and shiny, without having to apply a bunch of creams or shining sprays. It saves a lot of time! It comes with two attachments (diffuser, concentrator)--I've only used the concentrator to straighten my hair and it takes around six minutes and works effectively.

Also, a HUGE bonus is its lightweight! The comparable Conair version (nearly same price, ionic) is so so much heavier, while this hairdryer is easy to move, so I can pick it up and use it all over my hair.
The only con about this as others have mentioned is that you have to hold it carefully or else your fingers will accidentally turn the hairdryer off--the buttons move easily and are near where you place your fingers to hold it.

Bottom Line: This is the best hairdryer for the price. When I used other hairdryers, my hair is very noticeably frizzier and less shiny compared to this Revlon. It's a reasonable price for the technology, and I definitely recommend it!!

This is the lightest hair dryer I've owned, about half the weight of my previous model. I heard about this hair dryer on a morning TV news show and it was rated the best even over the $100+ tourmaline dryers, so for $23 I had to try it. It was sold out everywhere I looked...Target, Walmart etc. I finally found it here with a 1-3 week wait and ordered it. It did take about 3 weeks to get but It's so worth it. My hair is dry in almost half the time, the high setting is sooo strong. I highly recommend this especially if you have long thick hair like me that takes forever to dry naturally.

Reviewer: R. Grace, Mt. Sterling, KY USA
My husband bought this dryer for me for Christmas. I have very thick, curly/wavy shoulder length hair. With previous dryers I would take forever blowdrying my hair only to have it frizz, then I'd have to use a flat iron. Eventually, I got fed up with trying to style my hair and just let my hair "go natural". I talked to my hairdresser who suggested an ionic/tourmaline dryer. My husband picked this one because of the good reviews.

Well, the first time I used it I was amazed. My hair looked as good as it does when I leave the salon and dried very quickly. Another big plus was that the dryer was very light. Previously, my arms would get tired and my neck and shoulders would hurt (I have muscle spasms in this area) trying to dry and style my hair but not with this dryer. It also eliminated the need for a flat iron which really cut down on time spent on my hair.

Other reviewers said the dryer was noisy and the buttons were difficult to control but I haven't noticed a problem with either issue. The buttons took a little time to get used to but once I used the dryer a few times, it was fine. Also, the only attachment I have used is the concentrator so I can't comment on the diffuser

This hairdryer truly is amazing. I even got my hair cut into a trendier style now that I can control it. If you looking for a dryer that will make styling your hair easier, faster and make your hair look healthier, thiis is it!

After looking into several reviews on blow dryers, I learned about the Revlon Tourmaline. All of the reviews were so positive. I've been suprised at how light the dryer is and how easy the controls are. The placement couldn't be better on the controls. The price was right as well! Blow dryers in this class are generally much more expensive. A very good value.

I have curly hair and I wear it both straight and curly. The high setting is perfect for when I straighten my hair and the light setting makes perfect curls. I couldn't be happier.

Reviewer: M, Austin, TX
I've wanted an ionic dryer for a while, ever since the T3 came out with all that hype. After reading enough positive reveiws about this dryer, and ionic dryers in general, I finally purchased this one today. I'm so impressed!! My hair is bouncier, shinier, has no frizzies, and dried in about 3/4th of the usual time. DH, who is really clueless about such things, even commented that it looked better than usual. It also feels really soft - which is nice, as both my skin & hair tend toward dryness.

I have pretty fine hair - but alot of it (i.e., the hair follicles are thin, but I've got a lot of them.) My hair generally looks shiny on it's own, is stick straight, but has NO volume or bounce. I turned it on the "high" and "warm" setting to get it 80% dry, then put the concentrator on and turned it down to "low" (it was drying too fast!) to finish. I use a 3 1/2 inch Marilyn Tuxedo brush to finish drying in sections, concentrating at roots and ends.

I would definitely recommend trying this dryer before forking over $300 for the T3 or another model. I can't see how those more expensive ones could do a better job.

I absolutely love this dryer. I feel like I've tried everything, but this is the 1st that has cut down on drying time and also left my hair so smooth! In the past dryer have always left my hair looking puffy and have had to run a flat iron through it. The Revlon Tourmaline is the best! My hair has never looked better! I feel like I just had walked out of the salon for a professional blow-out. You have to get this if you have thick and coarse hair.

I rave about this product to everyone I know! It makes my hair come out even better than it does at my salon! It really does cut my drying time in half and my hair feels so silky and smooth! I live in a very humid climate and I have naturally curly hair so it has been impossible to get straight sleek hair without spending 20 minutes with a straightner. After using this (affordable!) dryer most days I don't even run a staightener through my hair.
Best Dryer Yet!

Reviewer: L. Olney, Nothern Califonia
I purchased one of those super expensive ionic hair dryers then did a little more research and good housekkeepping recomended this dryer for a better price. How about $110. dollars less and it does a great job. I have very thick wavey hair and this dryer cut my dry time in aprox. half plus it makes it super shiney. for the price it's a great dryer. So I sent back the T3 I had ordered and got my money back.

Reviewer: Trung T. Khuu,
I must admit, I wasn't expecting the response that I received from my wife. After seeing that she was constantly complaining that she need a better hairdryer, I set out to research and try to find her the best one. After careful research, I settled on this one. I will never forget her reaction after her first time using it. The most notable claim obviously was how fast it dried her hair. Easily a quarter of the time it usually takes her and also how lightweight it was. She herself proclaimed that next to diamonds, this was probably the best gift she had ever received. I highly recommend this hairdryer for anyone who is looking to drastically cut their hairdrying time.
Excellent Product!

Reviewer: E. Forman,
I have been using the Sharper Image quiet ionic blow dryer for several years. It broke on me several times a year and I had to keep buying new ones. I finally got fed up with the poor quality and decided to try something new.

First I ordered the Andis 75335 Quiet Ionic/Ceramic Hair Dryer. It over heated and shut itself off whenever I used it. I do have long hair, but this shouldn't happen.

So, I returned the Andis 75335 Quiet Ionic/Ceramic Hair Dryer and purchased the Revlon RV544 1875 Watt Tourmaline Ionic Lightweight Dryer, Silver/Black. It's an excellent dryer! It is lightweight, as advertised. It leaves my hair much softer than the other two dryers and my hair dries in much less time. I sincerely recommend this product!

Reviewer: C. Scholz,
I ordered this one instead of the several hundred dollar alternative. As far as I can tell, my hair dries faster and is less damaged since I began using this product. I've never used a more expensive tourmaline dryer and at this point don't feel a need to do so.
WOW - leaves my hair softer and healthier looking than air drying!
 
Review Date: September 17, 2008
Reviewer: kld4413, Lafayette, LA
I have thick, long, curly hair and have always air-dried. When I'm really in a hurry, I use my husbands blow dryer, but always find it leaves my hair looking frizzy and destroyed. I decided to purchase a hair diffuser, but couldn't find one to match the blow dryer we already have- so for not much more than the diffuser alone, I decided to try this blow dryer, which came with a diffuser & concentration attachment.

This blow dryer is amazing!

It leaves my hair feeling silky and smooth, which is the opposite of what I've always thought a blow dryer would do. Best of all, it dries super fast. In 5-10 minutes I am ready to walk out the door and I still have my curls!

Save money, buy this.....

My Braun hairdryer died about a month ago so I looked up reviews on another site for dryers (hint:MUA). This make and model generally received good reviews so I bought one that very afternoon. I can't say enough for its power, settings and light weight. I have baby fine, shoulder length hair and I use the warm setting since the hot is too uncomfortable for me. This is a purchase that I am totally satisfied with and gladly recommend to anyone needing a new dryer.

Review Date: December 3, 2007
Reviewer: Alaina, Pittsburgh, PA United States
This hairdryer is just what I needed. I had an old one I bought for $2 at a thrift store, and this one is as good if not better than that one because...
1. It's light. I bought this hairdryer at Target, and they have a display that lets you hold all the hairdryers they sell to compare the weights, and this one was definitely lighter than all of the comparably equipped appliances.

2. It's relatively inexpensive.

3. It dries my hair pretty darned fast. I've got thick, curly hair and with the diffuser on warm/high, this is a dream machine. I don't like to blow dry my hair after showers, but using the cold air button is handy 'cause it gets rid of the excessive dampness without burning my hair to nothing.
BEST dryer I've tried and only $17.99 w/ free brush at BJ's Wholesale!
 
Review Date: September 27, 2008
Reviewer: KD14, syracuse, ny
I bought this dryer a few weeks agao at BJ's wholesale club for only $17.99. It came with a free anti-frizz ionic brush as well. After trying hair dryers by Chi, Conair, and Wahl, I was so fed up. All those dryers took a very long time to dry my shoulder-length naturally-wavy hair (over 15 minutes), and they left me with frizz and no shine. The Revlon is fantastic. It only took 8 minutes to completely dry my hair, and left me with smooth beautiful shine. Note: I normally use SunSilk hydrating shampoo and conditioner, and Lanza Strait Line Smoother Straightening Balm. The model number on the box says it is the RV-5242 (I think because they are including the free brush). The brush itself it the BEST snag-free static-free brush I have used in years. I HIGHLY recommend this dryer to everyone.
Perfect for me!

I've bought and returned a few hair dryers now in my quest for the perfect one for my hair, which is really good when i do a little work on it. My requirements are simple - ionic, tourmaline, powerful when you want and gentle when you want, reasonably sized and light weight. This dryer perfectly fit the bill, ended my long-lasting quest and finally I have MY hair dryer!

This is hands down, the best hair dryer I've ever had.
The hot setting is very hot but, you don't really need to use it. The warm works just as well and only adds a couple of minutes.

*What is amazing is the finished product - WAY LESS FLYAWAYS and my hair stays frizz-free all day (and that is NOT what I normally see with my hair).

Don't let the price fool you - this is a VERY GOOD hair dryer.
Awesome Dryer!
 
Review Date: December 7, 2009
Reviewer: Renae, North Dakota
First, great price for the product. I've looked at stores like Target and WalMart and couldn't find anything like this for this good of a price.

Second, this dryer works great. It used to take me 20+ mins to dry my hair with my old dryer (I have very thick hair). With this one, my entire head of hair is dry, completely dry, in less then 10 mins.

Third, I've had this obsession with split ends for years and years, where I would find them and get rid of them by cutting them off (I know, ridiculous). However, since I've started using this dryer, I haven't been able to find split ends at all. This has been a major relief to my daughter, who was sick of me spending so much time looking at my hair.

Fourth, I always have had static problems with my hair in the winter time, no matter what products I used in it. Since I've started using this dryer, and the winter season has come around, I haven't had any static problems at all.

As for the components of the dryer itself, I like that it has a warm and hot setting with the optional cool button. I have accidentally shut off the dryer while using it a few times, but once I got used to where the controls were, it hasn't been a problem.

All in all, this is a wonderful hair dryer that has saved me lots of time drying and has done wonderful things in regards to the condition of my hair. I would recommend this to anyone looking to purchase a dryer.

Reviewer: lilly, Rocky River, OH
I was a doubter too about the ionic tourmaline technology but after recently getting a flat iron of that type that worked wonders, I thought I would try a dryer too. This dryer almost makes my flat iron unnecessary. It let me blow out my fine, curly/wavy hair so smoothly it looks like I had it done at the salon -- something I achieved only with great difficulty before at home. I agree with the other reviewers it does get a little hot, but keeping it on the warm or keeping the cool shot button on helps. I think the airflow is great, because it helps straighten your hair without as much pulling. I purchased it because I read that in a test it performed as well or better than $200-$300 models, so I think it's $30 well spent.
Great hair dryer
 
Review Date: August 17, 2008
Reviewer: Annastasia Webster, Kentucky, United States
I recently purchased this hair dryer and I really like it. It IS very lightweight, just as the other reviewers have said. I'm also amazed and how quickly it dries my very thick hair!

Some reviewers have complained about the placement of the controls, but I haven't found it to be problem. In fact, I like how easily I can change the dryer settings while in use. And I find that that the amount of pressure required to actually flip the switches is sufficient that I don't change the settings on accident.

Other reviewers have said that the hot setting is too hot, but I don't agree at all.

Overall, I've been very satisfied with this purchase.

Review Date: June 23, 2009
Reviewer: country girl at heart,
This is a powerful dryer, but it doesn't singe my hair the way most do. I'm used to a smaller dryer, so the heft took a little getting used to, but my small ones never felt like a salon dryer the way this one does. My one caveat is if you have a specific storage space, be sure to pay attention to the measurements. I didn't, but I lucked out. It stays in a drawer in my vanity that has an electrical outlet built in, and it fits in there with no room to spare. If it's even lying on a hairpin or its own cord, the drawer won't shut. So, I'm glad I bought it, and I expect we'll have a long and beautiful relationship.
Fantastic!!!

I have frizzy, wavy hair that is difficult to manage. Recently I got
a hair cut and couldn't believe how great the texture and manageability of
my hair was. I bought a new hair dryer, having currently owned the
Revlon 1875 without Tourmaline, put the concentrator attachement
on, which I had lost, and tried and tried to get the same results
as the hair dresser. I was frustrated. Finally, I tried using the
NEW hair dryer, which was this one - Revlon 1875 Tourmaline - fantastic
- it was like I had different hair or gone for some expensive hair
treatment. Not only does this dryer dry or hair fast, it makes the texture,
the layers, etc. look great. Buy it today!

This replaces my old vidal sasson with ionic technology. I must say that I love this hair dryer. It works much better than my old one. I have fine wavy hair that tends to frizz and this really smoothes it out. Even though my hair is fine I have alot of it and this dries my hair very quickly. My hair also feels healthier. Love this dryer and love the price. I thought about getting an expensive CHI but couldn't bear to pay the price. I am very happy with this dryer and think I can live without the CHI. I also like the silver color of this dryer.
Better than my old Professional dryer!!!
 
Review Date: July 14, 2008
Reviewer: A. Bresnahan, Chicago, IL
Growing up I worked in hair salons and my sister is currently a hairdresser so I've used many amazing 'Professional' hair products and styling tools. I've always believed that 'you get what you pay for' and spent over $60 (at a hair show) on a professional hair dryer, the CHI Nano in Pink, thinking it would last forever and would do less damage to my hair. Well, after just 1 year, my CHI has stopped working although, it worked well while it lasted. I began to research online various models including serveral T3 models which are priced above $150. On my last trip to Walgreens I figured I would get a cheap hair dryer to hold me over until I had more money to purchase the one I really wanted. $21.00 later, and I have no regrets or intentions of spending $150! This Revlon dryer has really changed my perception on 'cheap' blow dryers. I would recommend it to anyone. It is SUPER light, not extremely quiet (it is 1875 watts!), and drys my thick head of wavy hair in the same, if not less time, than my expensive CHI dryer AND my hair is so soft even after I use my flat iron to tame those random wavy pieces =) I can't say anything but good things about this product. It's amazing!
Great Dryer
 
Review Date: March 22, 2009
Reviewer: J. Wang, Bay Area, CA
I had read in many places that this was a good ionic hair dryer. It was indeed very light and quieter than other 1875 watt dryers I've used before. I found the high/low heat settings to match exactly what I had expected. The high heat was hot enough to dry my hair quickly but not so hot that I felt like my hair was about to fry. The strength of the fan was good as well. I felt like maybe the high fan could have been a little more, but it might be a psychological thing due to the quieter sounds.
Love it!

I go through a lot of hair dryers as I have curly hair that I straighten most often, and my hair is also thick and long. This hair dryer, not only dries my hair but is hot enough to straighen it in record time. Also with the diffuser, I can make my hair dry and curly in a matter of minutes instead of waiting for it to air dry. I recommend this hair dryer to anyone as a definite must have!

I love that this hair dryer isn't too heavy, has a hot, warm and cool setting and is ionic. So I don't get damage, and it really dries my thick hair fast! The diffuser is fabulous for when I curl my hair as well. Overall a great product! I would definately recommend it.

I got this when it was 50% off and I can't be happier. This in combination with the Vidal Sassoon hair brush has made my hair silkier and softer than it has ever been before. It is really light but powerful. I have fine thin hair so I was a bit nervous at first but it works great as long as I don't use the hot setting. The warm works perfectly on my fine hair, drying it for the most part in a commercial break.

I have paid out hundreds of dollars for hair dryers and I can honestly say that this beats all of them even the most expensive ones. It is lightweight, drys my thick hair faster than all the others, doesn't overheat and shut down (like my last one kept doing that I paid almost a $100 for) and doesn't make my colored hair loose moisture. I do hope that they continue making this product but I am thinking about buying another one just in case.

It is lightweight and it is SUPER fast to dry my thick, wavy hair. I love the diffuser attachment, but mostly I just use it as a regular dryer without that.

Of course, it's noisy, all of them are, but sometimes I think I hear music from inside. Or maybe I have just gone a little crazy.

I'd buy this, it's well worth, especially with the amazon discount!
Not same league as a professional dryer, but excellent value
 
Review Date: April 7, 2010
Reviewer: Bob From New York, New York
I also have a professional BaByliss Turbo hair dryer ($200). I bought this Revlon model because I wanted a lightweight spare for travelling. I've compared the two on a very thick head of hair.

The BaByliss is quieter, hotter, and blows with more velocity. It comes with a nice long cord. It dried a full head of long hair in 5 minutes.

This Revlon model is quieter than a generic Conair dryer, but I wouldn't say it's super quiet. It get's hot enough, and has adequate velocity. It is definitely lightweight.

Nonetheless, the Revlon dried the same head of hair in 6 minutes, with similar "ionic" results.

Overall, hey - you get what you pay for. But, for $25 this hair dryer is an excellent value. It does the job very well. I'm going to buy another one for a gift. I'm fairly impressed with it (given the low cost).

With the promotional certificates plus the already low price I was able to get this for $15.97. Wow! The dryer works really great. It was slow shipping though. It took 1 month to get the item. It works great - I tried it one time so far and it was nice. I considered buying one of the $100 + blow dryers and this one was right up there in performance so I am glad I went with it. It has nice power plus it is lightweight.

I got this dryer this week and used it a few times. It is not so noisy as others have said. Sounds more like a blender on low. The rocker controls are in exactly the right place for me because you can finish with a shot of cool air without taking the dryer away from your hair. It dries faster than my expensive ionic dryer and my hair looks and feels different, too....softer, shinier and styled the way I like it. If this dryer lasts a long long time, and keeps doing what it is supposed to do, I would say it is almost perfect. I just wish it was a bit smaller since I found it in a 'travel dryer' search.

My T3 hairdryer started sparking inside on me, so I needed a new dryer. I didn't want to pay a lot, as I wasn't that crazy about my T3. It was heavy! It was also too hot for my scalp.I purchased the Revlon dryer and all I can say is WOW! It is very light weight, and very powerful. It also dried my hair in one minute! I have thick hair that's down to the bottom of my neck, and using this dryer along with my hair straightening iron, makes my hair is so soft, and keeps it's style! I highly recommend!

I had an 1875-watt hair dryer that I thought I liked, but when it finally died, I checked the reviews on Amazon and decided to get the Revlon 1875 Tourmaline Model RV544. I had no idea what I was missing in the past! It's so light, my arm and shoulder don't tire from holding it. And the best thing is it dries my hair in half the time it used to. It doesn't seem hotter; evidently it's just more forceful. I love it and would highly recommend it to all!

This fits the Oral-B Vitality Sonic Braun Toothbrush Type 3709(on charging stand)

I had trouble finding these, as the Oral-B website sent me to the wrong Amazon link.
They are exactly like the brush head that came with my toothbrush, so I am happy.

My old brush head had stopped giving me the clean feeling that it had originally gave me, and this replacement head made my toothbrush as good as new. I now have that clean feeling once more.

This toothbrush head does all of the work. Good for people who scrub too hard with the traditional toothbrush, therefore damaging your teeth (that is what my dentist told me the problem I had), eletric toothbrushes like this one prevent you from brushing too hard, and more efficient. Teeth feel really clean after using this toothbrush heads.
Price wise, it is much cheaper than the price in local drug store, plus you don't need to pay sales tax here, big saving.

Best dental checkup ever after using Sonic Complete!
 
Review Date: April 26, 2009
Reviewer: Amber Grace Scameheorn, Kailua, HI, USA
I started using the Sonic Complete after my last dental checkup. At the time I was 3 months pregnant - as any dentist will tell you, your oral health tends to decline during pregnancy, due to various reasons. Already I had a lot of tartar buildup and some places to watch. Well, immediately after my check up I started using the Sonic Complete. I love that it times the brushing for you, 30 seconds per quadrant, so you do a thorough job. Last week I went back to the dentist for my 6-month followup, now 9 months pregnant, and anticipating the worst - but it was the best check up I've ever had. The cleaning was a breeze - I had hardly any buildup and everything looked great. The hygienist couldn't believe it, especially given my pregnancy, and agreed with me that it must be the toothbrush. So I'm hooked! I'll be ordering replacement heads now and will be having my husband start using it as well!

This is a great toothbrush. Before I purchased this toothbrush, I used a regular Oral-B toothbrush with the rotating heads. When the battery in that one finally gave out, I though I would try something new. This toothbrush does a great job getting my teeth clean. It leaves your mouth tingling when you are done. There is a high, medium, and massage setting so you can take your pick. The end result is definitely cleaner teeth. This toothbrush is worth the higher price.

I actually prefer the Sonicare toothbrush, but switched to Oral-B sonic when my Sonicare finally conked out after 6 or 7 years.

The only reason I switched is because I was spending about $25 a pop for only 2 replacement brushes for Sonicare and Oral-B was around $20 for 3 brushes. Figured I'd save more in the long run... and after about a year of using it... the unit works pretty good and a have definitely saved a bit on the replacements.

Overall good value... I have it on subscription now.

I recently purchased it for my 14 year old son and last year when I took him for his 6 month cleaning, the dentist was amazed at the difference in my son's teeth. My son's cleaning was minimal. I'm an extremely satisfied customer. Thank you Oral B and Amazon for carrying this product.

Toothbrush refills are way overpriced
 
Review Date: February 14, 2007
Reviewer: Bryan L. Sabinsky, Arizona
The Sonic B Complete is a great toothbrush but the head refills are way overpriced coming up to 7 dollars for each refill head. These are not the upgraded motorized heads. They are just a regular brush that fits onto the motorized section. The price for these has never come down and there is nothing to warrant other than no one else provides a generic fit. The latest technology applies rotating heads and these are not compatable. So while the device itself provides good oral care you are forced to overpay dramatically for refills.

Replacement heads for the oral-b electronic toothbrush lasts more than the 3 months they suggest (and that is based on brushing twice daily). They do a reasonable job in keeping your teeth clean and refreshing.
Also good value for the money by purchasing via amazon.com.

Reviewer: md55, Nevada City,CA
Having no experience with any other toothbrush like this we can only say that it is a big improvement over manual brushing. The refills are clearly where the profits are but they do hold up well as part of the system--not needing replacement all that often(6 months).

Review Date: January 13, 2007
Reviewer: J. Schick, SF Bay Area, US
We've used the Sonic Complete System since last summer and have found it made a significant difference from manual toothbrushes - the heads do a great job in dislodging small particles and also seem to help in brightening the teeth. Oral B recommends replacing every 3 months - we think it can safely stretch to 4-5 months, particularly since the heads are somewhat expensive compared to manual toothbrushes with regular replacement.

Calming and Clearing
 
Review Date: November 26, 2008
Reviewer: Jennifer Ford, Pleasanton, CA
I've used this mask for years. When I was younger (teens and early twenties) I had oily acne prone skin and used the entire Proactiv system. Now that I'm 30 and my skin has dried out, I use this mask once, or twice a week to clear my pores and to calm inflamed pimples. It works best after a shower when skin is soft and the "gunk," in your Tzone is soft, too. I apply, hang out for twenty or thity minutes and rinse with warm water, or exfoliate with a warm wash cloth. Results are not permanent, but for a few days at least, bye bye blackheads. Remember, for BEST results, use this mask after your shower, or steam your face carefully over a pot of hot water with a towel (to catch the steam) and apply when skin is warm and soft. =o)
Great science!
 
Review Date: December 9, 2009
Reviewer: N. Sacksteder, Tuscon, AZ
This product contains sulfur, a non-synthetic antibacterial compound. In theory, bacteria see the sulfur and absorb it because it looks so much like vitamin D to them. Through an unknown mechanism, this kills the bacteria. Neat!

On a side note, i paid $9.50 for this product. Their price fluctuates daily, so add it to your cart and wait for the best price.

Reviewer: Sandra Lucas, Somerville, MA
I was once a Proactiv user and eventhough my skin is oily it became very dry. I quit using Proactiv and then realized I needed to use a spot treatment. I tried everything but it either left me looking blotchy or it overdried my skin. I ordered just this refining mask and use everytime I feel something coming on. It works over night! I spot treat lightly at night and in the morning I do the same under my makeup. I LOVE IT!! I hope it's a product I'll be able to obtain from here on out. =}

This product is a life saver. If you have a pimple starting you just put a dab of the mask on go to sleep and wake up the next morning and it is gone. Also if you use it as a weekly mask it leaves your face feeling so tight, soft and refreshed. Worth every penny

Reviewer: S. Waterman, USA
This product is the best spot treatment product I have tried. My son has had issues with random breakouts and this, as is advertised... when you dab on spot at night - in the morning its either gone or noticably improved. They sell this product at our local mall but you could not buy as a separate item and had to purchase entire kit. Was happy to see it is now sold separately! You don't use much so it should last for a while

Reviewer: nhtraveler, New England
Tried the proactiv line several years ago. Worked really well against my occasional breakouts, but had to stop using it when the products began irritating my sensitive skin. But I did continue using the mask just as a spot treatment. As soon I feel a blemish emerging, I put on a dab and it's usually gone by the morning. And if I don't catch it in time, the mask helps it go away quickly. I highly recommend it.
Awesome!!

I bought this for my son, and it really works. He uses it once a day all over his face after washing with Pan Oxyl 10% (found in Walmart and drug stores) at night, and leaves it on all night. I have wasted a lot of money on many products, but have found that this was money well spent. By the way, we found that the regular Proactiv Solution 3 step program did not work all that well for severe acne.

Review Date: March 23, 2010
Reviewer: Lindsay Bluth, Pittsburgh, PA USA
Sulfur is making a comeback, after being a popular anti-acne medication years ago. Back then, it was stinky - as most sulfur is - but now in pharmaceuticals its scent is masked by fragrance. Regardless, the mask is great. 6% Sulfur is roughly what Murad and DDF masks have in them; they cost $30 for 2-3oz. Proactiv is $5. It doesn't burn or irritate the skin. Use once or twice a week on cleaned, moist skin. I use benzoyl peroxide (Neutrogena Clear Pore) wash every day; this mask is for the major clean up duty.
Wonderful Blemish Eraser
 
Review Date: April 5, 2010
Reviewer: S. A. Linnert, Melbourne, FL United States
I have super sensitive skin. The fact that I can use the sulfur treatment on my face without a zing of pain emanating from my face attests to the wonders of this product. Now because I do have sensitive skin, I've had to forego almost any other product that bears the proactiv label. Benzoyl Peroxide gives my extremely sensitive skin a severely allergic reaction, but this- THIS my face cannot only withstand but it seems to love. It works great as a traditional mask; I cover the blackhead prone areas and recent blemishes and am left with a more healed, less irritated face. How many people can say THAT about an acne zapping product?! Recently, I've found it also does wonders as an overnight treatment. I place a small dollop on each blemish and allow to sit overnight as I sleep. The treatment hardens leaving the formula on my face where it belongs instead of on my pillow case where most formulas generally end up.
Love this product!

Reviewer: Mindhaunt, Northeast TN, USA
This refining mask is (for me) far too strong to apply to my entire face, which is neither sensitive nor oily.
However, it works wonders when used as a spot treatment for those stubborn pimples that do appear from time to time.
I recommend this to everyone who has experienced these annoying pimples.
Within a couple of days, those ugly things are dried up and well on their way to complete healing.

Review Date: October 18, 2009
Reviewer: Kelly Cupcake,
So I've used tons of acne products, and when I say tons I mean pretty much everything that's available in stores, and then several prescription products. I tried Proactiv, and it really only succeeded in drying my skin out and actually making my acne even worse. The only product in the entire Proactiv system that I actually saw good results with is this refining mask.

I don't use the mask on my entire face, I just use it as an overnight spot treatment. I use a cotton swab to just dab a little bit on the surface of any pimples I have on my face, I let it dry, and I go to sleep with it on. Usually by morning the spot has reduced in size by at least half, or it's completely gone.

If you're someone who has dry, acne-prone skin, you'll have to use it sparingly, because it does really dry your skin.
Works great, but does not heal things.
 
Review Date: January 30, 2010
Reviewer: S. J. Bice, florida
Pros:
Stops pimples from coming up (when you catch them before they break the surface)
Kills the pimples already up
Does not have a strong smell

Cons:
Very drying
Does not heal blemishes, just leaves them dryed out scabs
Does nothing for blackheads.

I have had luck with this. It stopped a serious breakout in its tracks, which has never happened for me with any other product. After that week though, I stopped using on large areas (my jawline, where I breakout the most). I now only use it when I feel something coming up, and then moisterize the rest of my face. All in all a great product, but if you have dry skin already, you may want to pass this up.

I love this mask. I never tried any Proactive products before and after i bought this i was so happy. I had a few trouble spots on my face so i used this as a spot treatment overnight. It visible reduced the redness and made me pimples disappear faster. I don't know what people are talking about when they say they have experienced irritation, breakouts or redness from using Proactiv, i didn't experience that. But everyone is different.
Great Product!

Mostly Effective
 
Review Date: May 8, 2010
Reviewer: A. Alaidy, Port Orange, FL United States
I tried using the Proactiv system & my skin went from having an occasional break out to having MANY blemishes & pimples. I initially thought i would try it because i am a daily make-up wearer & thought if my skin was good/clear now, than using Proactiv would make it even BETTER. Not the case at all. I think the products themselves probably DO benefit someone with severe acne or very oily skin, but i am guessing that it was OVER drying my skin & creating more problems over all. As far as the Refining Mask- i have thrown away all of my other Proactiv products & KEPT the refining mask. I have found over time that if i noticed an "under the skin" blemish occuring, i would put a dab of the mask on & leave it over night for several nights. I'm not sure about others results, but it takes MONTHS of nighly application for the blemish to go down, then go away completely... or not at all. I still have a few marks on my face from pimples a few months ago that have never completely gone away. However, when i have popped the blemish (yes, i know that any dermatoligist recommends NOT doing this) & used the refining mask over night for several nights, then the blemish does seem to disappear (completely) within a week or so. I think the TV advertisement is completely false... i have never had a blemish basically be gone overnight, but it DOES seem to help & i still continue to use it as does my room mate.

i used this every other day and i've got moderate acne but my face was as clear as it's ever been. then, i stopped using it and broke out worse than i ever had in my life every place i had put it. i waited a few weeks and when i tried to start using it again i would break out wherever i put it. i still can't use it without it breaking me out. which is really lame because it worked wonderfully at first on most of my 'open' pimples.
A highly effective ance treatment product, but...
 
Review Date: July 16, 2009
Reviewer: Skin Care Geek www.cureacneathome.com,
I found the mask to be so-so, but it must be said that Proaciv is a highly effective acne treatment brand but, here's the catch - you have to keep at it. Firstly, it takes a few weeks before you see significant results. This is the case for any acne treatment product really - you just HAVE to be consistent and give it time. So, folks looking for a quick solution to their problem (i.e. - clearing up your skin in time for prom or a wedding, for example) will be disappointed.

Secondly, it is not a magic potion capable of "curing" acne. Once you stop using the product, your acne will return unless you take active steps to maintain the health of your skin. It is often believed that merely using a product can be the only change made to help your skin. Clear skin is about more than just using the right brands.... having clear skin is about understanding skin.

Overall, I'd say use this product if you can afford to consistently buy it. If you can't, understand the ways to help keep your skin healthy since, if you don't take those steps, it is HIGHLY likely be disappointed once you stop using Proactiv.

I got the product and the shipping was smooth but I have been using it for a while and dont feel that it is original, it feels like a fake.
It's an acne treatment.

The instructions on the package make it very clear this is an acne treatment. Too bad the on-line information down-plays this fact. If you don't have acne...pass this product by.
Didn't work for me.

This product did not work for me when used as spot treatment and it smells terrible. It does, however, work for one of my friends. I think it depends on your skin chemistry. It was worth a try and since I ordered it on amazon it was actually affordable.

Not worth it. Is not how they describe it on t.v., "Dab some on and pimple is almost gone when you wake up." Does dry you out too. Would NOT buy again. Proactiv is overpriced. Many friends have said it does not work. Don't be sucked in by the stars saying it works. They are getting paid.

Received this product in a manilla envelope the proactive had a large crack in the bottom and product was smeared all over inside of envelope. When contacted the distributor they told me to mail it back to them at my cost with a card inside the original package (which was covered with the cream) saying we wanted a new one shipped to us. Horrible customer service, will never do business with again.

Product Description

Phion Diagnostic pH Test Strips are the best strips available for discovering the pH of your body. Testing your pH is important because if your are overly acidic, you may feel low energy... find it difficult to lose weight... experience poor digestion... suffer from aches and pains... and even fall victim to more serious disorders. Too much acid can wreak havoc on your health! If you care enough about your body to test your pH, do it the right way. Litmus paper wont give you a truly accurate pH reading because it bleeds when it gets wet, which makes it quite a challenge to determine the color. pHion Diagnostic pH Test Strips differ in that the reagent is affixed to a plastic strip, so there is no paper, no bleeding, and no mess. Plus, pHion Diagnostic pH Test Strips measure a wider range (4.5 - 9.0) and they are the only test strips on the market that can pass through a urine stream without having the reagent bleed, making them exceptionally easy to read. Simply put, pHion Diagnostic pH Test Strips measure a wider pH range more accurately!

accuracy of pH test strips
 
Review Date: December 18, 2008
Reviewer: RLS, Kalamazoo, MI
I was instructed to test my pH levels by my doctor, so I purchased the litmus paper strips first, but was not satisfied with the results. The results were difficult to read. However, I ordered these test strips and discovered they were easier to interpret. These strips show a wide range with smaller pH increments. I definitely recommend this product.

Review Date: June 18, 2008
Reviewer: daisy fan, pa usa
i purchased this item after receiving an alarming result of my dog's urine analysis..professional lab result, & $50.00, showed a ph of 8.5..

i immediately ordered these strips, first thing the morning after receiving the strips, tested urine was 6.5.....

every morning result was the same 6.5...

two subsequent diagnostic lab tests in the weeks that followed, with no treatment to cure an elevated ph, showed a ph of 6.5 exactly what these strips had told me.....

if you need to check your ph, these strips really work.

I've been using these test strips since mid-summer and they work quite well. I've been keeping track of my ph levels ever since I was diagnosed with gout and now that I'm using Enzymatic Therapy - Cherry Fruit Extract - Joint Health- 180 Ultracaps I can see my ph go up slowly towards a more neutral number. I've never used the litmus paper, but feel no need to try those because these work very well.

Reviewer: hfy, charlotte, nc
Love these strips, so easy to use, nice large scale. I have read the other reviews and wanted to say that my husband and I did test our water and some other liquids and these definitely give you an idea on where the ph is. Just to give an example, our water from our faucet comes out really acidic ( yellow). Tested other bottled water and Deer Park comes out alkaline (green). Which is where water is suppose to be. Definitely worth it when trying to figure something out, internally or externally. Received them in a timely fashion as well.

As an individual interested in improving my health, I read extensively. Many nutitional experts recommend a diet that helps your body remain pH neutral or slightly alkline for maxium health. These strips allow fast, easy testing for pH results, without which, needed adjustments can not be made in an individual's diet.
I highly recommend this product which was purchased through Amazon quickly, easily and at a good price.
Worked exactly as described, simple to use, very affordable.
 
Review Date: June 17, 2010
Reviewer: Elle, Henderson, NV
My alternative health resource recommended that I head out to a "fish store" to obtain some pH test trips to determine if I was overly acidic or alkaline. I immediately hopped onto Amazon in the hopes of avoiding the trip, and was pleased to see that such an inexpensive solution was available on Prime. I ordered the strips and they arrived the very next day, to my surprise. They were very easy to use, and the colors matched up well so that I was able to read my pH without any trouble. Do I believe that the pH of my body fluids is indicative of my health? I don't know about that, the jury is still out. But these strips do exactly what they say they do, and that's what matters here.

These sticks are easy to use and read. They are designed for reading the approximate body acid level of Urine or Saliva. Other liquids will not give an accurate reading. The differences in the readings for Urine and Saliva are explained [...]. This is a good product for at-home testing to find your approximate body acid/alkaline balance.
These work great!
 
Review Date: February 3, 2010
Reviewer: Liza Orrington, Illinois
I bought these to test my saliva, since my teeth have been getting very sensitive.

I found my saliva is very acidic -- as low as 4.5 to 5.75, most likely due to GERD. (My urine, by contrast, is alkaline.)

I take prescription medication for reflux and don't have much heartburn, but I have a chronic cough and wheezing. The acid seems to be migrating to my throat and mouth. It was a wake-up call. Now I need to do something before I lose my teeth/voice. When I chew gum, my saliva becomes alkaline.The test strips have been very helpful in showing me this.

My doctor had suggested fundoplication surgery for the reflux, and I thought that was a bit drastic. I thought my symptoms were allergies. But seems they're caused by acid, not allergies.

Ordered these strips to test my dog's urine ph myself at home after her lenghty battle with bladder stones. Using this product, my hope is to keep her at a ph of 6.25-6.5

These PH test strips just work
 
Review Date: August 30, 2009
Reviewer: J. Segers, Canton, GA USA
These strips have two color bars that make it easy to get a match so the accuracy seems to be better than normal litmus paper. In either case, be careful of the compact florescent bulbs. They do not emit all the colors of light so they will throw your reading off. Read the strips under a standard incandescent bulb or in the daylight for the most accurate results.

The only problem I have with these sticks is the container. It is a thin flat hard plastic. The lid comes off to expose the sticks, but the sticks are a little flimsy so they spread slightly. This makes it difficult to get the cover back on without touching the sticks. A round box that you shook the sicks out of would be better.

I will definitely purchase more when my supply runs out.

Good accessory for a Vortec Panasonic shaver.
 
Review Date: March 13, 2006
Reviewer: Mild mannered reporter, New York USA
This cleaning cartridge is a no-brainer if you own a Panasonic Vortex shaver. These cartridges contain cleaners, cutting blade lubricants and a filter, to keep your shaver blades clean and in proper condition. They are very simple to install in the cleaning base; they last a month or so, are solidly constructed and they work very well. A plus for these shaver cartridges is that they work with just plain tap water; no alcohol-type chemicals are used here. You can choose to clean the blades with just ordinary soap & water, which Panasonic says is an alternative, but I don't recommend it unless you have to, such as when traveling, as you won't be lubricating them and you allow the finely machined blades to be vunerable to whatever damage may befall them. This is a fine product and truly worth the price.

I was sceptical about it at first thinking that just washing it off would be ok. This removes gunk and is a must have if you use shave with gel or foam.

Review Date: December 11, 2007
Reviewer: K. Gehrke, Minnesota
We all purchased the shaver knowing we would need these so I don't know why some are complaining of the price. It wasn't a hidden expense. You knew the information up front and could make a decision as to the annual expenses this would incure. Besides, the price has dropped on them in the past few months.

As for the cartridges themselves, there are no generics on the market. They are priced cheaper than the Braun cartriges I had been using. They are also not an alcohol based cleaner and therefore does not evaporate like the competitions. They can last much longer if you use the cleaner every other day and rinse off in the sink the other days. Depending on use, many could use the sink most of the week and the cleaner every 3 days or so. Not an option with most of the competition. This extends the Panasonic cartridges life well beyond the alcohol based systems. I am on the road out of state 2 weeks of every month and I was changing the Braun clean and renews every 30 days. Seems as though I would replace the Braun cleaner, use it that week, leave for a week, and come home to an empty system. Not anymore. HydraClean doesn't evaporate, makes it much more economical per cleaning, and only costs pennies per day in comparison.

I have had this shaver for one year. The Cleaning Cartridge and Filter work well! I have found that if you pop the head of the shaver off after shaving give it a quick rence the cartridge will last longer Just and Idea.
Works well, use distilled water for best results
 
Review Date: March 6, 2009
Reviewer: Comdet,
The Panasonic cleaning system works pretty well - not as speedy as the Braun system, but it has some key advantages. Since the system uses water, you won't have to deal with evaporation loss. Plus, as others have noted, you can use the cleaning base a couple times per week and greatly extend the life of the cartridge.

Also, since it is water based, there's less packaging - the detergent is concentrated, and mixes with the water. Less plastic waste that gets chucked into the trash.

The cleaning system does get the razor a bit cleaner than just washing with water (or liquid soap and water, as noted in the manual), adds lubrication and a nice fresh scent. I've found that using distilled water in the cleaning base eliminates the white residue from hard water.

Goes on sale occasionally, so watch the price and stock up on the price dips.

Review Date: May 13, 2009
Reviewer: citan-uzuki, Georgia, USA
Would it not be great if your car can wash itself, change its oil, and refill its own gas tank? How about your clothes? Do they wash, dry, and fold themselves? Man, life would be so much easier if they did! This is one area where electric razors are ahead of cars. Ever since Braun came out with their "clean and charge" system, it seems that razor manufacturers have found ways to make razors maintain themselves with very little effort on the user's part. Panasonic's system is called Hydraclean. This review is about the cleaning cartridge for the Panasonic Hydraclean system.

It is hard to write about the cleaning cartridge without mentioning the Hydraclean system. After all, together they make up the cleaning system. One is only as good as the other. Let me say that the cleaning system does exactly what it claims to be able to do. It cleans, lubricates, dries, and recharges the electric razor automatically. The Panasonic system uses a very sophisticated process to do this. Instead of simply pumping liquid cleaning fluid from the cartridge to the razor stand, this Panasonic uses a solid detergent. The Panasonic WES035P is a solid detergent block with a small filter. The cleaning stand has a small, removable water tank. The cleaning system dissolves the detergent with the water, and then the water is pumped upwards to the razor. The razor is inserted upside down in the cleaning stand, by the way. At that point, the razor is cycled on and off. The liquid mixture washes away debris and captures them in the filter. After a set time, warm air circulated around the razor heads to speed up drying time. The detergent leaves behind a film of lubricant.

The Braun system uses an alcohol-based liquid. It also does a fine job of maintaining your razor. However, the alcohol has a tendency to evaporate, whether you use it or not. As soon as you open the seal on the cartridge, its useful life starts evaporating away. The Panasonic system does not evaporate, and you only use up its life when you actually clean the razor. So the Panasonic system does have its advantages over the Braun. The Braun cleaning stand is also sensitive to being moved, as the liquid can spill out of the cartridge. The Panasonic system is less-susceptible to that, since the cleaner is in solid form and the water tank is capped. However, you do have to change out the water in the tank. You can empty out the tank every time you replace the cartridge. And if you live in an area where the water is hard, I recommend that you not use water straight from the tap. You might want to buy a gallon of distilled water to refill your tank, which should last for over a year if you change out your cartridge each month.

I highly recommend the Panasonic Hydraclean system. It makes maintaining your razor a breeze. It does not get easier than this. The solid detergent that comes in the cartridges do have advantages over alcohol-based cleaners. And the price is very reasonable. I "subscribe" here at Amazon. The plan is for me to have a three-pack shipped to me every three months.

I have used a Braun shaver for several years until I was given this shaver as a gift. It is remarkable! I have used it for about a month and it works perfectly. It is like having a new shaver everyday. I highly recommend this shaver if you are serious about a clean, close shave - this is your unit!

These keep the shaver clean. Panasonic does it with filtered water while the shaver is recharging. The filters are hard to find locally at Target, etc. so I purchased from Amazon. Good price and fast delivery.

I'm still not sure that you need the cleaning of the heads; but did notice that the shaver seemed to shave smoother and closer.

Review Date: December 21, 2006
Reviewer: Dr. Dan, Miami, FL
This item works great with my Panasonic ES7056. This cleaner is no gimmick. It keeps my shaver working like new every single time.

A great advantage over other brands is that it doesn't use alcohol, rather a water-added substance that in the end leaves a pleasant scent (that you smell only if you put your nose right up to it).

Does what it promises... and at 10 bucks for 3 cartriges? It's a steal.

Review Date: March 4, 2010
Reviewer: J. P. Garvey, Putney, VT
Although I was initially skeptical about the value of Panasonic HydraClean charging base, after owning and using one for over a year now, I've been solidly sold.

Previously, I would tap out my razor after every shave, rinse it out about once a week with water, and then sterilize it before setting it out to dry. I can easily say that the HydraClean process saves me a lot of work each week! Although I still tap out my razer after each shave to extend the life of the cartridge, and empty and refill the water reservoir after each cleaning cycle to save on wear & tear, it's considerably easier to just drove my shaver in the HydraClean, press a button and walk away for a few hours than doing everything I used to do before.

Although the HydraClean packs are slightly expensive for the functionality they offer, I find that Amazon's discount, combined with the 15% off bonus offered for a subscription makes the value proposition much better.

As an aside, I use this with the Panasonic ES8249S Arc IV Nanotech Vortex Wet/Dry Rechargeable Shaver, Silver (which I have also found to be an excellent product).

Review Date: May 19, 2010
Reviewer: J. Shirey, SW PA
I just changed the cleaning cartridge for the 1st time and it was fairly easy. When I got the razor and set up the cleaner/charger it was a little bit awkward to install the cartridge. This time went much better and I'm sure it will continue to get easier each time I replace the cartridge. The cartridge lasted approx 30 days as promised. The cleaning/drying/charging cycle is a bit lengthy but this isn't a problem for me. I previously used the Braun cleaning/charging system and the batteries in the razor failed prematurely. Braun's warranty repair procedure was impossible to deal with so I switched to Panasonic and thus far I have been pleased with the razor and the cleaner/charger system.

Now, it's just a quick tap after your shave, then once-a-week, do a more thorough job by placing the shaver in your HydraClean System, where it cleans, dries and recharges all-in-one. An excellent choice for your shaving needs.

great product. love the razor. when you clean the razor under water to remove clippings, and then use the formula, I found I can easily get 60 days out of a single cartridge.
Great system; easy to replace

Reviewer: MC Sombra, USA
As I said in my review of the razor, this is just a great razor and cleaning system. I've had mine for over a year. The cartridges last longer than advertised (kind of like changing your oil in your car every 3 months)...but I also cheat a little and usually clean my razor under water when I'm done shaving and only run it through the system every 2-3 days. Easy to use. Great system. The price / availability is the best on Amazon.
Works fantastic, as expected for my Vortex Nano Hydraclean System II
 
Review Date: December 10, 2008
Reviewer: Brian S., Orange, CA USA
I have the Panasonic Vortex Nano HydraClean System II - Silver shaver and these replacement cartridges are just what the doctor ordered.

My original one that came with lasted a while (few months, I don't shave every day). They leave it looking and feeling like new, and completely disinfected to prevent ugly razor burn or infections.

Works great, and the subscription option is neat. Why pay shipping when you don't have to, and can receive these every few months at an additional 15% discount. Thanks Amazon since the store I bought this razor doesn't sell the replacements!!! absurd

Reviewer: Olga Rolfe, Springville, UT
we have used this product before, it's just a replacement cartridge for Panasonic razor. One cartridge is gonna last probably about a month, depending on how ofter you're using your razor. The thing I liked best about this product is that it came very quickly and it qualified for free super saver shipping, I was very satisfied with that, because last time I ordered it from Panasonic directly and took them forever to ship it, over a month.

Reviewer: Alan, North Port, Fl, Florida
Over the years, I have had one razor that I loved. When that one died, I tried others. My son did a lot of research and he and my daughter bought me a Panasonic razor for Christmas. It works great! It works great because I can clean it everyday if I want too. And boy, do I want to.
Works well

Product works as it should and I think the shaver runs better than when cleaned with soap and water. Would like to see better price, but not a surprise as you have no alternatives to choose from...

Reviewer: Quincy Gowenlock, FORT BRAGG, CA.
This product worked to perfection. I've gone a couple of months without using it and found my shaver was lagging with a smooth cut. After using a new cleaning cartridge, the performance of my shaver dramaticly increased. I'm very pleased and will use it again.
Good Buy!

Reviewer: W. S. Dean, central wisconsin
It was hard to spend alot for a razor but reviews had been basically pretty good so gave it a fly--and am very happy so far. My beard isn't very heavy but still have to get rid of the grey stubble--shaves very close--the battery seems to last a long time--went almost 3 weeks b4 I figured it should get charged. Cleaning system works good but noisy--haven't used it in the shower---yet
worth the purchase

Replacing these cartridges on a regular basis really keeps my razor performing at its best. The three-packs are really economical and no more expensive than the blades that I was purchasing for my old razor.

I needed some more cleaner solution refills for my shaver product and found this on amazon for a little bit cheaper than in the stores. Sure it might of been only 60 cents or so but that is still money saved. I also liked that it came in a 3-pack.
Cheap and BLUE!

Reviewer: Randy, Fort Worth, TX USA
Shaving every morning with a clean razor is quite a treat. These cartidges (used by the Panasonic ES8077 Linear Shaver with Vortex Hydraclean System) mean you get this great feeling without spending a lot of money. At only $5 each, or only $0.17 per day, this is an absolute no-brainer! Keep a box on hand so you never have to do without!
This Cleaning Cartridge Is Great !
 
Review Date: April 29, 2008
Reviewer: Claude Stephenson, Phoenix,AZ USA
This is my first time using a Panasonic Vortex HydraClean shaving system. I think this cleaning cartridge is very good. The system cleans my shaver very good and the cleaner that is used in this package seems to do a great job. I have only had this system for about a month,so I haven't had to change the cartridge yet. I am very pleased with this product and happy to have purchased this shaving system.I wouldn't want to be without it!
Self-cleaning shaver solution
 
Review Date: June 22, 2008
Reviewer: Kevin Karth, Portland, OR
I own both the Braun and the Panasonic self cleaning shavers. The Panasonic works best for me. The cleaning cartridges are a better design than the Braun being water based rather than alcohol based. Less toxic for the environment, less weight and cost to ship, easier to dispose of, and bottom line, do a better job of cleaning the shaver because of the built in filtration system in the cleaning cartridge. Shaver looks and smells brand new every morning and shaves as close as a blade. Well done Panasonic!

Panasonic WES035P Vortex HydraClean Cleaning Cartridge and Filter (3-Pack)
 
Review Date: January 7, 2008
Reviewer: Peter M. Ronai, Salem, Oregon
These compact cartridges combine a filter and detergent and are inserted in the Panasonic shaver "base station" to effect automatic cleaning of the shaver. The manufacturer's recommendation is to change the cartridge monthly. I followed this recommendation initially, finding that the filter became quite discolored with trapped beard cuttings by the end of one month. However, since the shaver is a wet/dry shaver, I found that washing the shaver head and the cutting blades after each use and before inserting the shaver into the "base station" allows me to extend the life of each cartridge to at least two months, making the economics much more favorable. I'm not sure how much extra benefit the auto-clean function of the base station provides, compared with just washing the shaver head and cutting blades under the tap, but I suppose the detergent in the cartridge contributes to a cleaner result.
Very nice
 
Review Date: March 10, 2008
Reviewer: S. Bester, Spokane, WA USA
I decided to try this item after Amazon offered it at a great price. I had tried an electric many years ago and couldn't handle the pain of it ripping the hair out of my face, so I went back to a blade.
So I was a little afraid to try again. I'm so glad I did. It works great in the shower, and is very comfortable to use. The only complaint I have is that I cannot seem to find replacement blades or cleaning cartridges locally. Not a big deal.

Product Description

Wrist blood pressure monitors are portable, accurate and simple to use. They provide a convenient choice for those who want a second unit for away from home or who have trouble placing a cuff on their arm. The Omron HEM-650 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with APS (Advanced Positioning Sensor) uses Omron's patented IntelliSense technology, which inflates the wrist cuff to the ideal level with each use and offers fast, personalized, and automatic inflation for maximum comfort. No adjustments are required to select an inflation level--especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders, because their blood pressure is more likely to fluctuate. And with the HEM-650's 90-memory recall with date and time stamp, as well as averaging capabilities for the last three readings, you can track your blood pressure and pulse progress as your work towards a healthier lifestyle. The HEM-650 also features a system that detects an irregular heartbeat, giving you an even better understanding of your heart's health. Plus, you'll have additional peace of mind knowing that the HEM-650 comes with a 5-year warranty.

Because the HEM-650 has a wrist cuff, it is particularly helpful if you have a larger than average sized arm. The monitor fits those with a wrist size of 5.25 to 8.5 inches, and it ensures easier and more comfortable use. Note, however, that a wrist monitor does require proper positioning of the device at the heart level. Correct cuff positioning is critical when monitoring blood pressure, fortunately, the HEM-650 features an advanced positioning sensor that automatically confirms that the cuff is level with the user's heart, thereby ensuring an accurate reading.

It is critical that when using a blood pressure monitor the cuff is the appropriate size and is properly applied. An ill-fitting cuff or an incorrectly-applied cuff can result in inaccurate readings. Consult your doctor or the included instructions for the proper application of the cuff.
