Proactiv?

KiteKatsumi9 · January 2008

Anyone here use Proactiv? Does it work? We ordered it and it came yesterday. I used it tonight, my skin feels soooo soft and smooth. Will it get rid of my acne and blackheads as well as the commertials say?

My brother uses it. It works really good. He has been using it for about 4 years or so.

Ohhh good

:D:D It works well for blackheads, too? That's my main problem. I do have a zit problem, but a worse blackhead one.

Yep My brothers face is very clean of blackheads and zits. ;D

*all excited* Thanks sooo much! ^^ I've had these blackheads for YEARS and I'm more than ready to get rid of them ;3

ehh it didn't work at all for me =/ but that doesn't mean it won't work for anyone else... I had to go to a dermentologist to get medicine for my face >_<

It really depends on your skin, and it works differently for everybody. There's an extra strength formula if you want to try that too. I had pretty bad skin, and by the second day I used Proactiv (last year), all of my acne, and I mean all of it, was gone. But it came back two weeks later. My advice, make sure you use the mask that it comes with. Now, I just use that mask twice a week and wash my face with a special Nivea face wash you can get in European stores, and my face is clear. So if Proactiv doesn't work for you, try Nivea :]

Thanks guys

Its working so far. Sorta makes my face a little itchy though.

Never tried it, I use this stuff that my dermatologist gave me. I'm also on prescription pills :] Keeps me clear, anyways

I had some but it didn't work for me. The mask is good though ^.^ Results vary

It only works if you keep it up. I didnt have mine for like 2 weeks and it all came back.so i used other methods.. It was painful but it worked better lol..

So remember keep it up or it doesnt work.. And at first my face burned luck your face is soft.

I've never used it, but my cousin has and it helped him a lot. I use Noxzema, which you can get at pretty much any store. It keeps my skin pretty clear, but my forehead can be a bit of a problem sometimes. >< It makes my face tingle too. :P

Don't use it. There is a ingredient in it, benzoyl peroxide, that is dangerous in some amounts. That is why they give you like 5 things, they all have the maximum legal limit in them. I use a medication that has benzoyl peroxide in it (I just threw the tube out, because it only is used 1 month per bottle!) and it works. You only can use it at night though, because it makes your skin more vulnerable to the sun, so if you need a tan, use it in mornings. benzoyl peroxide also bleaches sheets on beds and pillow cases. Just go to your doctor or dermatologist and they will give you something. My acne was so bad at one point, they had pills you could take, but you need tests monthly, because it could make you infertile, or make you have too many red blood cells, or white blood cells, I forget...

KiteKatsumi9 · February 2008

I've been using it once every two days or so, its working great and I'm not having any bad side effects. We can't afford to go to the doctor to get monthly tests and stuff...we couldn't afford the Proactive even, someone had to help us pay for it.

i don't have those problems...i don't get acne or blackheads...i do once in awhile but it's not much.. my friends get jealous...

If you use Proactiv, and you are say 10, you will see the side effects of peeling, dryness, etc when you are 25, 30. The medication I was talking about that doesn't need tests, but is covered by most insurance is Clindoxyl. This product contains two medications, clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide. Clindamycin belongs to the family of medications known as antibiotics. Benzoyl peroxide is a medication that has antibacterial effects and is a peeling agent. This combination product is used to treat certain types of acne. It works by killing bacteria that cause acne and by peeling off skin cells. It may peel your skin, but rarely.

KiteKatsumi9 · February 2008

I'm far from 10 XD

Evil · February 2008

So am I.... so if you use it at 20 - 30, you will see the side effects when you are 40 - 50.

A Little off topic... but does anyone want to use my Zombie Wolf stud? I want to see his pups, because I just imported and fully trained him!

Howdy, Stranger!
