Ok, this is one of my many questions about acne. Sorry to ask so many. I've been thinking about using proactiv, but it's kind of expensive so I tried out different products. That didn't work.
So does proactiv really work? Will it give me results within a week or so? I just want to be acne free!

ProActiv really, really, does work. I tried literally everything in my teen years to cure acne. I started using ProActiv at 18 and I'm 21 now and I have a clear face 9 times out of 10.
I think it's the exfoliator product that really does it. It takes dead skin off your face, which is what clogs pores and causes acne in the first place.
I don't know why ProActiv seems to be the only thing that works almost perfectly, but it really does.

I just answered another question regarding acne. I clipped this egg yolk acne remedy out of the Dallas Morning News in 2000. This comes from one of Ann Landers' columns. The remedy is make a raw egg yolk mask and do this for 10 minutes each day for a month, no, it isn't a remedy for a week but it should start at least improving your acne. After a month you do the mask 2x every month for 3 months and again if your acne acts up. I've not tried this myself but when I read it so long ago I thought it may help someone one day so I keep it in my receipe box for references such as this. It's inexpensive and easy to set up a regime and all you have to lose is the acne. Good Luck.

yeah, proactive works. u would notice a difference after a week or so, i think. wash ur face and just use only 1 b/c mixing chemicals can probably result to more acne. my before acne would be a 6 or 7, now it's more of a 3 or 2. just wash ur face day and night, and proactive is worth it.

What made my 13 year old child's bad acne disappear: Drink 4oz of carrot juice a day (for the beta carotene) and take one "Cold-eeze" lozenge a day. The slow absorption of the zinc in the lozenge form makes it more bioavailable and the beta carotene needs the zinc to further convert from it's provitamin form in the liver.
Teens coincidentally have low levels of zinc. You should research zinc and acne. Also research beta-carotene and acne. The combination of the two really seems to have solved my daughter's acne problem.

I used it for about 2 years ,maybe about 10 years ago. It did work. It took about 2 weeks if I remember correctly. Everybody is different though.

Acne is hormonal. Over the counter remedies do not work.
You need to go to the doctor or a dermatologist. You may need treatment with: antibiotics, Retin-A, Accutane or other prescription medicines.
Please do not waste money on the things you can buy in a store.
