has proactiv been proven to not work?

Question

has proactiv been proven it doesnt work bc im an 11 year old going through puberty and ill have more acne and zits and want better treatment if proactiv doesnt work

Answer 1

Yes, I personally know 6 people that have tried it, and it didn't work for any of them. Just because it worked for Diddy and Kelly Clarkson doesn't mean it works for everyone. Plus, how do you know that in addition to the proactiv that they weren't using any other products or medication from their dermatologists? You just have to keep trying until you find what works for you. Try the Aveeno Acne Facial wash, it's mild and it helps soothe the skin, you have to get some stri-dex for the spots.

Answer 2

Personally, Proactiv didnt work for me at all, on the contrary it gave me more pimples. But really it all depends on the person's skin balance. What works for me would not always work for others, and vice versa. If you want to get rid of your pimples faster, ask your mom to take you to a Dermatologist; they know what your skin needs and what would help. And always, taking care of your skin and looking at your diet helps dimish pimples and give you healthier skin.

You could either do trail and errors with different skin treatments, or get a Dermatologist's point of view and get a "definate" better treatment.

Answer 3

proactive was working for me but the problem is that it dries your skin out very badly and then your skin becomes very oily in an hour or so. so i dont think its worth trying it unless you can deal with very dry and then very oily skin.

Answer 4

It didn't work for me. Currently I am using clay masks (they remove dead skin and rejuvinate my skin) but I am also trying a special light treatment with lebulon (sp?)
