does acne complex or proactive work?

Question

my acne is pretty bad and i want to get rid of it to gain conifidence

Answer 1

The only thing the Proactiv solution did for my face was to give me an horrendous allergic reaction; I got swollen, red and the burning sensation was intolerable. Ultimately had to go to the doctor for a benadryl and a steroid shots to clear up the allergy. Since then I avoid benzoil-peroxide containing products like the plague. To date, the products that have worked best for me are the L'oreal Clarity line; these contain salicylic acid instead, which is far less irritating. Also, L'oreal recently put on the market a product line developed specially for guys: it's called L'oreal Men's Expert products. You might want to give them a try. Good luck, and hope that your skin clears up soon.

Answer 2

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

I have never used Murad, but as a user of Proactive I have to tell you that I LOVE it. And if you use the Proactive Cleanser, Toner, and Repairing Lotion, you will see results fast. I have always had very acne prone skin, and now I can't go without using Proactive.

Answer 4

As you can see from the previous answers, different things work for different people. Since Proactiv is so expensive for an over the counter acne medication why don't you first try something from Neutrogena, Clearasil, or Oxy product lines to see if you can find something less expensive that works for you? If that doesn't work then maybe try the Proactiv. If all else fails you can go to the doctor and see if he can give you a prescription for acne medication.

I'd try something else before I'd buy the Proactiv just because it's so pricey.

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.

Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

Proactiv does work for some people. My brother had acne real bad, I'm talking like, a total pepperoni face. He ordered it and within a few weeks, it started clearing up very well.

Answer 7

Proactive did not do a thing for me. I was on that thing for a couple of months and Zilch effect-

That said, try Origins products. These got rid of all of my problems. I have a clear skin because of Origins. Go to an Origins Counter and the reps. can help you there.

Proactiv works pretty well for me. I'm relatively acne free anyway, but the proactiv helps curb any breakouts I might have.
