don't use proactive. it's really expensive, and you don't get that much product. try AcneFree from Costco. it's only about 24.37, and you get twice the product. i've also had bad acne since 4th grade, and i've been using it, and it works very well.

Here are some REALLY good, and very inexpensive ways to treat most acne at home. Try each method (unless you’re allergic to the ingredients) until you find one that works best for you. Good luck =) BTW, I know some of these may sound bizarre but try them…what have you got to lose other than the acne!!
1. Put toothpaste on your acne before going to bed. (Make sure it is paste not gel). It should reduce the swelling of acne noticeably.
2. Dab egg whites on your acne and leave on for 20 minutes or overnight. It’s supposed to pull the infection out of the blemish.
3. Wash acne infected areas twice a day with warm salt water. This reduces oils in the skin and helps to dry the acne up without further agitation.
4. Use ice on acne before going to bed. This works best on pimples that have not yet formed a head. It reduces swelling and helps to prevent scarring.
5. Wash and dab acne with cotton balls that have been soaked in vinegar. Let dry; do not wash off immediately.
6. Place strawberries leaves over your acne and the alkalinity will help to reduce the swelling.

I have used proactive, I still do. It is the only product that cleared up my skin. I know how much acne hurts. Both emotionally and physically. Talk to your mother when you are both relaxed and in good moods. Maybe tell her you will chip in some of the money. I know they have a special of $19.99. I really recommend proactive. It works !!!!!

Let your mom see the comercial of proactive so she can see how it works.Then let her know about the refund money back garentee even if bottles are empty.Also say that the proactive is Know 19.95 thats a great price instead of paying the old regular price of $30, so tell her your actually saving money . But i used proactive my self it didn't work 4 me it actually made my skin irritate

Can you buy it yourself? You can get it at sephora. Or sit down and talk with your mom, tell her how having acne makes you feel and why you think proactive will work.

If you get an allowance use that to but it yourself. If you don't get an allowance offer to do odd chores in order to earn the money needed.

Pop a zit right in front of her nose. If she doesn't get the hint then ... well, she's reeeally out of it.
