My acne has always been only on my forehead. It's been pretty bad. I started using Proactiv about 2 weeks ago and now I have little tiny zits all over my forehead instead of big ones but that makes me think that it's working because it has to get rid of the bacteria before it clears up, right? I've never had acne anywhere else but I have blackheads on my nose and it doesn't get rid of those. Also, I have some bumps on the side of my cheek but they aren't red or anything, just bumps. I thought it would take care of that too. Oh, I don't know. Does anyone have any suggestions?

From personal experience it worked for the first couple of months. After 3 months the acne came back and I have bad scars. I stopped using it. However, my sister uses it and her skin looks amazing. I guess the proactiv works for some and not all.

Everyone's skin is different, but you should try Proactive for atleast one more month to get really good results. It cleared up my acne immensly, and I havn't really gotten a breakout since i've been using it. But make sure you use it twice a day!!

Yes! Keep it up! Just imagine... if your pores are all filled with bacterial and such, it must come to the surface before it can clear up. I can tell you from experience (I used to be friends with a bunch of sorority girls) that it works. However, it must get worse before it gets better. It make your skin dry for a while. Just make sure to not use too much of the toner and use plenty of non cosmetigenic lotion. The lotion it comes with as Ben-perx and dries you out too. Hope that helps!

Use the Clinique 3-Step acne system. I'm using it right now and all of my bumps are gone and my face looks amazing! And it's a little bit cheaper than practive too.

Personal experience: I stoped. It only irritated my skin more. Most acne prolems originate from inside, so why would you use outside product? You need to go and see a dermatologist, tell him to prescribe you a pills to clean your system from toxins. You also have to stop eating oily stuff, like cheese, (except farmer cheese), fpizza, etc. Also herbal pills like" Vitamin E and yest pills help a LOT. you can basicaly pick them in any pharmacy or herbal store. They are sooo cheap , and very effective.

I have no personal experience with the stuff, but am skeptical that any topical preparation can have much of a beneficial effect on acne. Experiment: try the stuff on just one side of your forehead.

It sounds like it's working but just needs some more time. Keep it up unless it irritates your skin.

you have to keep using it. its too early to tell.
