Does Proactiv really work?

Question

Also does Proactiv gets rid of the blemishes acne left behind on your face? What can I use that will get rid of blemishes on my back and shoulders?

Answer 1

Yes it does work, but not for everyone! It can cause some people to break out even more.

Answer 2

I know of a couple of girls that have tried it and they've all had different results. It's always wise to to stay away from products that contain alcohol, wax, dyes, chemicals, fragrances, animal products and bi products, acetone, etc. These ingredients have been shown to cause irritation and dryness. Drying out your skin often causes it to overcompensate by producing more oil, later causing skin problems. Also, products that contain mineral oi, the molecular structure of which is too large to penetrate the pores of your skin, sit on the top layer like saran wrap and just get wiped off over time. This causes dirt and debris to collect of your skin and give a temporary feeling of softness but have little to no benefit in the long run.

You need a pure, water based product that will penetrate your dermis and deeply clean, condition, and hydrate your skin with proper ingredients to combat acne and will not cause irritation or dryness. You might want to try Arbonne. Their products are formulated in Switzerland and regulated by the FDA, so they do not contain any of the ingredients listed above. They are pure, safe, beneficial, and hypoallergenic. They have a great acne line where people have seen amazing results! They also have a great dietary supplement to support skin from the inside out targeting troubled skin with vitamins, minerals and L-Lysine, an amino acid. I would be happy to help you and show you how your can purchase the products at a 35% discount if you're open to giving it a try. The system will end up costing $43 + shipping and tax. That's a great price for fast results, pure, safe, and beneficial products that have been proven to work. Take a look at some of the before and after pictures. Good luck.

Answer 3

honestly, i dont think its all that great. My skin clears up whenever i start using any new acne face wash, but then after a while it seems to get used to it and it stops working so i have to switch again. Same thing with Proactiv. I thought it might be different with Proactiv, but nope. It works wonders on some people, and then other people not so much.

Answer 4

Proactiv seemed really harsh on my skin, I have sensitive skin. The benzyol peroxide thats in it is so strong. It dryed and inflammed my skin. I stopped using it. However I think it might work to get rid of blemishes on the back and shoulders since skin is more dense on the body than it is on the face.

Cheryl writes, "My daughter developed a case of moderate acne, and after trying a number of different things for over a year which helped very little or not at all, she started drinking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar three times a day and applying it topically once at night. She has been acne free for two months. It took about three weeks to clear up."
