Answer 1

Pro-Activ is a waste of money, and they send it to you every month and charge you for it, even if you don't want it. Once you sign up, you're screwed. Unless it magically does wonders for your skin. My boyfriend ordered it and used it as recommended, and it's done nothing... and they still keep sending more shipments of the products! It's expensive.

lol I'll give you one of his extra shipments...

Wow, I think Montana is a spokesperson for Pro-Activ, she said the same thing they say on the commercial. It works for some people. It fails with most. It depends on skin type and other things. You can buy a store brand product, like Neutrogena, like Mechelle, and still get excellent results. I use Clean & Clear Morning Burst (in the morning) and Clean & Clear Oxygenating products whenever else. I have no problems with blemishes ro acne.

Answer 2

Pro-active DOES WORK! I used it!
Your skin is the largest organ in the body. Eruptions, no matter how slight or strong are a signal to something else, usually a diet that consists of eating foods your liver and kidneys are having a hard time digesting.
For OPTIMUM skin health, especially during hormonal times, eat as natural and organic as possible. NO PROCESSED FOODS! as they contain chemicals which gets acne kickin'! Stay away from Mt.Dew. Dermotologists say that without even asking if you drink it!
Trust me, listen and watch what your skin does as you eat and drink certain things, it will tell you what it can handle. I've been fighting this for decades and just now after following this advice, have it under control.

Answer 3

Try Arcona products. Go to www.arcona.com. This product has really been effective in clearing up my skin. Their spa is in Los Angeles, but they have authorized spas that sell the product as well, if there is not one in your area you can always order online. How I got started is that I called the 1-800 number and talked to one of the consultants, I described for her in detail what my issues were, she sent me some samples, they were effective, I purchased the product and i have been quite happy w/ the results, old scars are healing and new ones are being prevented. I would advise against using Mary Kay, Clinque, and some not all of the Prescriptive products, they only made my skin worse.

Answer 4

Mary Kay makes a GREAT Clarifying mask it has literally saved my skin!!! It is Clarifying Mask Formula 3. I think it is like $11. And if that doesn't work for you they work with you to find out what will! I also have loved the Blemish Control Toner Formula 3.
I use that only two to three times a week. The mask I use 3 times
a week and it has just cleared up my skin!

Answer 5

Cetaphil for Gentle Skin. It cleared my acne up in less than a week and I haven't had another breakout since! I've been using it for a year now. It's only $9.99 for a bottle that will last you about 3-4 months. It even does something to make those little bumps go away! And my skin has never been softer and smoother!

Answer 7

Liars! I didnt think proactiv worked either but my brother got it, and then recommended it to me. It works like a charm if you use it correctly and daily. Of couse its not going to work if you use it for a week then stop for a month. Save up,and get it! Also:

1. get more sleep
2. dont touch your face with hands! it leads to breakouts
3. dont over wash your face, this also causes breakouts
4. Myth: if you eat a certain something, you will breakout. Nothing that you eat causes breakouts!
5. dont pick- you just push dirt further into the pore which causes an infection.

Good luck!

Answer 8

If you don't have a serious acne problem, but have some trouble spots or acne that some times pops up, but is sometimes clear, try using a facial mask.

I recommend Queen Helene's Mint Julep masque. It is fantastic and inexpensive. You should only use it a couple times a week at most, but it should help with those trouble spots.

Answer 9

I HAD that same problem. This is what I did. I bought Nuetrogena Cleanser & Toner (specially for acne). Wash my face 2x daily. At time I would on my acne place toothepaste. I also started taking Vitamin E. After a week, I have no acne. I have clear skin. I hope it works for you. Good luck.
