Proactiv

Hey guys I just started using proactiv. Are there any other users out there? If there is can you share with me how it helped your acne.

Re: Proactiv

I have used ProActiv since August of last year. I can't say that it completely cured my acne. After a couple of months I still got breakouts, but it did leave my face feeling smooth and the blemishes healed a lot faster than normal. I stop using it about a month ago.

Re: Proactiv

I've been using it for a while... like over two years or so. It worked well but I'm starting to see the benefits wear off a bit after using for so long. I've heard of a lot of people becoming "immune" to it. Some weeks I'm crystal clear and other weeks, not so much. For me it's no longer a miracle product, unfortunately!

Re: Proactiv

Ok, i've used ProActiv for a while now and honestly I don't seem much of a change.
i have the type of skin thats very oily and i have break outs a lot, of course i don't have a lot of acne but its enough to bring notice to it.
When i started using this product, the scrub seemed to be working but the lotion didn't help, it just made my skin even more oily.
I also couldn't use it every day, day and night, like youre supposed to due to school and sports year round.
But everyones skin type is different, maybe you will have better results than I did, just try it and see if it's meant for you.
Good luck!

Re: Proactiv

I`ve been using Proactiv for a couple of years now, and I love it! Prior to Proactiv, I used another product named Murad. It worked but not as well as Proactiv. I have never had severe acne, but a few breakouts here and there. My skin is oily and very sensitive. My skin tends to break out very easily, f.ex If I eat certain foods, or wear certain make-up, or use certain facewashes. I use Proactiv once a day, I wash my face with just water in the morning (because soap or anti-bacterial will cause breakouts), and I use Proactiv face scrub, the green liquid thingie, and the lotion before I go to bed. Next morning, my face looks great! Proactiv will clear your face, but it won`t make pores or fine lines disappear. I personally would definitely recommend it!!!
