Thumbs up Didn't Have Acne Until Age 34...ProActiv Works!!!

I wanted to add my $.02 and hope it helps out. Basic stats first:

Never had acne as a teen, in college, through my twenties or through fertility treatments (age 30 to 34) which were completely stopped in May 2003.

Acne came in like a lion. I would call it mild to moderate.

My skin is mega-oily, even Ivory Soap couldn't dry it out.

Finally, 2 months ago after reading through this thread and watching the infomercial, I decided to go for it. I figured what the hell, I tried everything else. It was obvious a combination of the PCOS, my age and my quirky hormones.

Two months later, my skin is clear. I've had one or two blemishes around period time but putting a little bit of the facial mask sucked those dry.

I would recommend that if you get the starter kit and are using it religiously twice a day, that you buy an extra bottle of toner because it will run out before you use up the bottles of cleanser and repairing lotion.

I am totally in LUV with this system. I hope it never stops working (I know that happens temporarily for some, permanently for others).
