Does Proactive Solution, the highly advertised skin care (acne) solution work? Any complaints?

Answer 1

My kids cleaned up big time

Answer 2

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Answer 3

When used as directed, there is quite a noticable difference even in just a few days. If you stop using it , the acne reappears. The trick is to use it until the acne period of teens is over. My son's face is nearly clear now and his breakout was terrible.

Answer 4

i tried it for 3 months, and i found that it reduced my acne but did NOT make it go away. the only product of Proactive Solution that will probably give anyone fast and affective results is the Refining Mask. It really helps reduce problem acne ovenight.

Answer 5

It is actually one of the few acne treatments u can get over the counter, it is good for mild form of acne, it contains benzyl proxide at a low dose which is the first line treatment for acne .If ur acne is sever then might need to use higher doses of it, or your doctor may even recommend stronger medications such as antibiotics. I suggest that you consult your local pharmacist or GP before starting treatment

Answer 6

Wut I hear is one you start you can't stop. If you use procative for a considerable length of time your skin becomes dependent on t and once you stop using it the acne comes back worse than before and the skin isn't exactly nice either.
That's why I never tried it. Don't know how true it is, know some people who say it is, don't know anyone so far who has denied it.

Answer 7

Yes, it's worked really well for me. Unfortunately when you stop using it, the breakouts come back.

Answer 8

I heard that it dries out people's skin.

Answer 9

I've never used it but a lot of my friends said that it sucked.

Answer 10

i think it depends on your skin type. it worked for me for a little but then i started breaking out again
