i have been using proactiv for a 2 months now, yet I look nothing better. I still got tons of acne on my face, and it's not coming off any faster. what's going on? why is it not working? I even have the refining mask bottle. why can't a guy like me, not look better after using this product for 2 months? any good answers?

proactive is a marketing scam.
ever wonder why they have to put so many commercials on tv to advertise?
if the product really worked, they wouldn't have to do all this advertising, because it would spread by word-of-mouth.
people would tell their friends that this stuff is great etc..
but it isn't.
it's a scam.

Proactiv, for many people, does NOT live up to the hype.
Some say it does work for them.
A lot of other people say that it works for them at first, but then their skin gets used to it and their acne comes back and sometimes even gets worse.
Yet more people are like me, and Proactiv either does nothing, or damages the skin.
I highly reccommend going to acne.org, where there are tons of people like the two of us who have acne and/or other skin conditions, and even some people who have conquered acne and have advice for those of us who still have it.
A lot of people have healed to some degree after using Accutane, but a select few seem to have other ideas.
By the way, if you see someone on the forums with the name stillwacko08, that's me! ^^

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.

proactive only worsened my skin. my best advice is for you to stop using it before it's too late. I recommend clinique for guys, or clean & clear. if your condition is serious, try going with a dermatologist, he can do better.

I used it and it didn't work for me either. It made my skin really red. So now i use clinique and take nature's cure pills everyday. Go to the drug store to get the pills (they are easy to chew) and go online to buy stuff from clinique. Yeah clinique is pricey but it worked for me.

It doesn't work for everyone, you need to go to a dermatologist and get some Acutane, its a pill...if poractive wont clear it...you need something that workd from the inside out
