Here's what I got:

Ill be honest, I'm a little discouraged about how much it was. But I'm guessing I would have paid the same price at the store, cause they sell an acne fighting system at the store for about $12. Then they would've probably charged $7 for the Deep Cleansing Wash (which I got Incase the kit ended up being to small so I wouldn't have to buy from Proactiv for an additional month or so), another $5 for the Advanced Blemish Treatment, probably $6 for the Dark Spot Corrector and maybe $2 for the Green Tea Moisturizer, and maybe $7 for the book. Which would end up being a grand total of $39 and I got the system for $30.

Update:
The Proactiv (I hope) has been working great. I had a large accumulation on my forehead and its starting to go away to normal skin. I have reservations about it, just cause a few pimples have popped up while using it. And I don't know if its by chance the acne on my forehead is going away on its own or if its cause of the Proactiv, cause after I have been using it for almost a week, its been going away!

My mum bought it once upon a time and her, myself, and my sister all used it. You really don't need that much, don't go crazy, or it won't last. For us, it didn't work. It didn't work for any of us, and we used it just as instructed, maybe missing a day or two here and there. It just literally did nothing for my skin. My sisters helped make it less greasy, but acne was still out of control. My mum never really had skin problems, so I don't know why she used it, but she still got the occasional zit while using it.

I have friend who have used it though, and it has worked absolute wonders for them. The price is outrageous, but for some people, it just works, for others like me, it won't. So just keep that in mind. It's not a miracle treatment for everyone.

Also, it does take a few weeks to start working properly. So don't give up too quickly. :)

Hope it works for your skin. :)

Ya I got the whole kit several times and it didn't do anything for my acne, very disappointed. The thing thats also annoying is they had us on some sort of automatic shipment program. They would send me a whole kit every two months or something. We even called and cancelled, and they still sent us more.

Holy fuck that's the same with me! I fucking hate it. If I want another kit. I'll get it myself, I don't need you to send it automatically. I'm probably gonna cancel after I get my kit I just had specially ordered.

I tried it - it worked for a bit, but then stopped - but as long as I lay off the sugars and I wash my face regularly... my Implanon actually keeps my skin clear.
