I have really bad acne. I'm talking super-mega BAD, not just a light scatter of pimples. I have many of them on my chin, most on my forhead and around my cheeks and some on my back. Should I use proactiv? Or will it only work for acne that's light easy to treat to begin with?

Proactic is a great product and was made for people like you. Use it only on your face and try to find something else for your back, not because it won't work on bacne too but b/c the bottles are small and it would be a waste to use it all over. if you get it and use it like you're supposed to it will work and you'll feel a lot better about yourself.

I wouldn't waste your money on company's like proactive. Commercials say they work but if you watched an interview with a lady that did a commercial for them, you would see that the "after" picture, they took on her, they did her make up for 2 hours to make her skin look flawless..it is nothing but a gimmick so I would just use good old fashioned soap and warm water every night. It's cheaper and works.

I think it just depends on that person, just like not all medicine helps everyone. I used Proactive for 5 months and didn't see any change. However, when I called to cancel my autosend order, the guy told me that they actually have different strengths of everything. Go figure..

my sister has hormone/sugar related zits and it works great. if you have acne on your body, you should get your blood sugar tested, you may have polycystic ovary syndrome... there are many websites on this and you can check other symptoms... it is just your body may be insulin resistant and this ups your hormones and can cause acne among other things... but yes, proactive works well... so does mary kay #3 basic skin care 5 step skin care regime... that's what I used to get rid of mine..

It works wonders!
I use it and I think it will do the same for you... when ever a new zit comes up its gone within a day and it gets rid of all of the ones i already had.
I really suggest it
