Proactive skin solutions? I am just wondering if anyone has and if it takes away slight scarring from acne?

i haven't used it or heard anything about it helping acne scars but I used a little of that maderma for scars for a couple acne spots i had. it worked really well. For me anyways. your best bet would be ask a dermatologist though. acne can be caused for a bunch of reasons and if your not treating the RIGHT reason your getting it then it won't go away and just cause more scarring. good luck

Proactiv solution doesn't work, i've tried it for like 6 months.
The only reason why these celebrities that use Proactiv don't have acne, is becaue they've used it for like 4 years, as they mention in the commercial.
& No, It doesn't take away scarring that was left there from acne.

I haven't personally, but have associates & my sister who have. They say it doesn't compare (cost or effectiveness) to the Mary Kay skin care line. (Yes, I am a consultant - but it's still true.) If you have anyone that you can get samples from to try FREE (yes that's a nice part of Mary Kay) - ask for the Classic Basic skin care, Formula 3 if you have any active acne.
If it's just scars you're worried about - Mary Kay's MicroDermabrasion is the way to go. It has Great results on improving skin texture & scarring & is the least expensive on the market. Check it out on my website: www.marykay.com/mandalin

Proactive working wonderfully for me in clearing the acne, however it does nothing for scarring, and nothing will. Aside from some pretty hefty dermatological procedures, facial scars like any scars are permanent.

It does not reduce scarring but it does help clear the acne in some people.

Kelly Clarkson and Jessica Simpson used it... So, it must be great!

I have. It didn't do too much for me.
