Proactive any good?

Question

In the formuns, on the radio and on tv they says it's the best acne treatment. But several of my frineds tried it and it only made it worse or didn't help much.

Answer 1

Yes, I've been using for three months now, and my skin cleared up so much! However, it DID take me awhile before I started seeing results. It works for most people, but not all.

So I suggest that you try it and see if it's right for you, because if it doesn't, they have a money back guarantee!! So no hurt in trying =)

Answer 2

I think they're right about the whole "It works for certain people" thing. I watched that whole G-damn infomercial with Vanessa Williams, and P-diddy....etc....and they said that Proactive was not a product that would make your face worse before it got better (meaning that it would draw the pimples out first to completely get them out of your skin, before making your face noticeably better) but that was a lie. I saw people on their infomercial with the most HORRIBLE skin EVER!! I have a "mild to medium" acne problom, and as soon as I began using it, my face EXPLODED!!!!!! I had pimples, zits, HUGE, FAT bumps, you name it!! Now- don't get discouraged, they "say" it does not make your face worse before it's better, but that is not true. I think that if you can live with having this greezy broke out face for a while, as it's sucking the nasty **** out, then good for you. It will MORE THAN LIKELY work. I did not get that far, as I was so horrified by all the "new" zits it "gave" me, that I discontinued using it. Now, another reason it does not work for people is that they are not using it correctly. Some people mix it with other soaps they have been using previously, or they don't use the correct amount, or they simply don't do the routine as often as they should. Enough blah..blah....There is hope lil' mama's!!!! Try Clearasil's Ice Wash....That is the ONLY thing that has EVER worked for my acne, but it is EXTREMELY hard to find. The only way to get it anymore is on the net. I've read several forums where people who have failed at the whole "Proactive" thang, have succeeded with this product. It contains Menthol, wich to the rest of us acne sufferers, is a gift from the heavens!! It tingles, and eases swelling and redness....try it out, you WILL not be dissapointed. Also good for body areas too. Hope it helps babe!! ;)*

Answer 3

Your acne will get worse before it gets better. I used ProActive and I didn't like it. I use L'Oreal Adult Acne Response (the blue box). I have tried EVERYTHING, and I mean everything to cure my acne. It works. My face has never been so clear. I had acne for about 7 years and it is finally G-O-N-E. Try it. Wal-Mart and Target carry it for about $22.00.

Answer 4

It worked for me but it did dry my face out at first. I just skipped the toner part and used it every other day. I love it and will never go back to average face cleansers!!

There is a 1 month trial you can get for 20 bucks. You should discover in that time whether it will work for you or not!

Answer 5

I've been using it for about a month now, and I don't see any difference except that now I have acne AND dry skin. Whole new set of problems.

Answer 6

yes! but when you first start using it dont use it 3 times a day. it can result in major dryness, so stick to 1-2 times a day at first. but yes it does work!!!

Answer 7

I've seen it work and seen it not, it depends on your skin, It comes with a money back guarantee. When it works it works great. It is worth the money.

Answer 8

That's what has happened with my friends who have used it, too. It didn't help them one bit. I guess it ultimately depends on how well it reacts with your particular body chemistry.

Answer 9

It worked for me...cleared up my skin in a couple weeks..

Answer 10

YES!
