Is there a better acne solution instead of Proactiv thats cheaper?

Question

i dont have acne but id like to prevent it in the long run

Answer 1

Proactiv did absolutely nothing for me. Instead, I would recommend just going to a drugstore or something and buying the Neutrogena alternative, or some other (cheaper than Proactiv) brand.

Answer 2

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

raw unpasturized apple cider vinegar..
the following 2 testimonials can be seen at http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/acne.ht...
Angelina O, has found that applying ACV topically to her face several times a day (4 or more times) has cured her of a "very bad complexion". She reports that she applies it straight and that while it burns her skin a bit, it still works like a miracle!

you can get it at the health food store, or in some super marktet health food sections. i use bragg vinegar..
good luck
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."

to drink it, put it in honey and water, or apple juice--tastes like cider..cost is 5 dollars a qt at the healthfood store

Answer 4

Walmart carries a brand that is comparable to Proactiv. I find that I like their treatment gel better than that of Proactive and its cheaper.

Answer 5

Walmart makes almost the same product, I believe it's called acnefree and it's a lot cheaper than proactiv. I've used it in the past.

Answer 6

clear.now works better than proactiv but is the same price. but if you arent' really oily and have a lot of acne, both those systems can really dry your face out too much.

no. and, don't be silly! if you don't have acne, you have no need to purchase/use anything like proactiv. eat lots of green leafy veggies, lots of fruits. cut way back on fatty and processed foods. drink lots of water, cut way way back on carbonated drinks, particularly ones with caffeine or dark colorants. practice some sort of stress relief, like exercise or yoga. wash your face day & night with a non-irritating, soap free cleanser.
