anyone tried pro-active for acne?

Question

have you ever tried 'pro-active' to help cure acne? if yes, did it work? how long did it take to make the acne better?
thanx

Answer 1

I used it and was very unhappy. It had a definite chemical smell to it and it literally made my face burn.
I now use Arbonne's Clear Advantage line. It consists of a wash, refreshing toner and lotion. I love it!

Answer 2

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!

Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:

1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.

2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.

I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.

There is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

I used it after my skin went crazy during my pregnancy. Well...it cleared my skin up in about a week and about 3 days later my head swelled to the size of a basketball. I stopped using it immediately and then the real fun started. My face started burning and it looked like I had bright red scars all over it. I had to sleep with cold washcloths all over my face b/c of the burning. My eyes swelled up and turned red. My vision started getting blurry (which was weird b/c I always made sure to leave it away from them) My skin itched horribly. And what upset me the worst was that my husband was in Iraq and wanted pictures but there was NO way I would've sent any looking like that! But hey my skin stayed clear. Oh and by the way I had all those symptoms for 6 months and still almost 18 months later I have to use a cream that's for helping burns heal twice a day or my skin burns so bad I can't stand it. I would stay away from this product. BUT what has worked for me....using a creamy face wash twice a day and then putting a moisturizer on afterwards and then leaving it alone other than that. (too much washing can make it worse)

Answer 4

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...

Answer 5

Yes i have been trying pro-activ for over a year now and it works but not 100%. But people have different skin so it might work for you and it might not. I would say to try it because you can try it for 60 days and if you dont like it they will give you your money back. Good Luck and i hope it works for you!!!!

Answer 6

Yes, but it didn't help me, and I dont even have bad acne. But it did work for my friend, so you really cant go by what anyone says, because everyone has different skin. It helped her after about 3 weeks.

Answer 7

It works for a lot of people...I havent used it since high school but it worked good then....Most people have positive results after about 3 weeks...but some people do not like the scrubbing face wash...it will make your skin more sensitive and sometimes a little raw...but overall its a good product

Answer 8

My daughter really started having a problem last summer--so we bought Pro-Active and at first it seemed to make things- worse...
but now..( and after about three weeks) SO MUCH BETTER.

She continues to use it and I now just buy it from Ebay.
(cheaper--but you have to be careful because some of the auctions go higher than the company price)

It does work. ( at least for my teen)

Answer 9

Yes, it works but it is a waste of money. You can get all the same items in the store for half the cost or cheaper. All items sold in the kit were taken from other companies and marketed in a set.

Answer 10

i use it....i find it did make my skin a lot better...it isn't flawless, and i still get the ocassinal pimple, but the proactiv clears it up in no time. i get the 5 piece set. it comes with the cleaner, toner and repairing lotion, plus a large bottle of face and body wash, and an advanced blemish treatment (which works great for emergencies!). however, i can't use the repair lotion...it really dries my skin out, and it gives me these very fine bumps around my chin. but evertything else works great! good luck :)
