I have been using proactiv for about a year and a half and it worked great up until about 2 months ago. It seems like it just stopped working. I have quit using it, but my acne is now worse since I stopped! Has anyone had the same problem? Do you think it would work again since my body has had a 2 month break from it??
it stopped working for me, and manny others as well. the infomercial says your skin wont "get immune" to it, but that doesnt seem true. Its not that its a bad product, its just not very strong if you look at the ingredients. i tried takinng a break from it and going back severala months later--still didnt work, so i went to the dermotologist and got much better stuff, which i then also became immune to...and now the endless search continues to save my skin....uhhh
I think a good thing to do is to use Proactiv and when you run out, use something else for a month or two. That's what I'm doing so I won't get "immune" to it or whatever. I just started on my other stuff yesterday and already my skin's kind of gross, how sad.
THIS IS WHY I AM HERE. It stopped working after a years and 10 months. This was about a year ago. I am currently on acctuane ( on my 14th week) because I couldn't get it back under control. I am 100% clear now. I am introducing some proactiv cleanser back in, because I want to keep it under control this time. SO this time I will mix it up. not just use proactiv.... This was the worst year of my life. I felt like I lost 6 months of my life. And time goes by slow when you spend it in bed. I really wish I can tell you what to do now. I had to step in with the big "guns" Good luck.
I don't hate proactiv, I just felt betrayed. Like it was real.
