| *Tink* Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Somewhere over the rainbow ![]() | I didnt go through all those threads so I don't know if this was said or not, but if you try using the Proactiv and find that it helps out great for a little while and then seems to stop working like I did, it seems to help if you switch between that and another face wash. I use the ProActive for a month and then switch to a facial cleanser from Avon for a few weeks to a month and then go back to the ProActive. It seems to help me a lot to do that. |

| Registered User | I get the acne on my chin that really hardens and leaves the red spot/scar for months where it was, not to mention another two or three would pop up on the same area, it was just awful and embarassing for me and it seemed like it took a month for it to look better at all. So I decided to try ProActiv, at first after 4 or 5 days it really dried my skin out BAD and then peeled some, so I only used it very lightly every other day till the dryness stopped, then afterwards it started to work so well, I couldn't believe it was my own skin, even the blackheads disappeared, the toner cleared up the scar, and that masque was awesome, the compliments started pouring in, then I saw the new pro activ on ebay it's "extra strength" I bought it just to mix it around and try, and I'm continuing to have awesome smooth clear skin, however, I gotta say if you start it -you have to really keep it up, especially with having the pcos acne! I ran out once and didn't have it for a couple weeks and my skin automatically went back to looking horrible and starting to break out and get really, and I mean really oily. But anyway, I sincerely Hope this helps someone who may have the same problem I did. |

| Hairdoin' Cyster Join Date: Mar 2003 Location: NC ![]() | I used it(Proactive) for about 2 years before I started having PCOS problems, but I have always had horrible skin. It worked great, I had beautiful skin, until I developed an allergy to the benzoyl peroxide in it! All of a sudden ! My eyes would swell up and I was red and had hives on my face and neck! So now I can't use it anymore. It was the only thing that ever worked for me though, so I'm back to horrible skin. If I could go back to it I would! Anybody wondering should try it, at least.

| queen bee mommy Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: OHIO ![]() ![]() ![]() | I had always wanted to try it, but it was SO expensive! I found a site...www.acne.org. Go there and they have a great plan. It is EXACTLY like proactiv, but it is using individual products, not a group. Products you buy right from the store. Neutragena, Cetaphil, etc, etc... You are using the same active ingredients! It has worked well for me, and it isn't nearly as expensive!

| I Believe In Miracles Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Brooklyn, NY ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I had a very bad experience with proactive. The acne actually got worse & it was painful. My sister had the same reaction, it got so bad that she didn't want to leave the house for about 2-3 days. It could be because we both have sensitive skin though, being that it did work for my cousin and my co worker. The best advice I can give is to apply it on a small section, for about a day or two to make sure that you don't get a negative reaction. Good Luck & I'm glad it worked for you ladies ![]() |

| In-love Cyster Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Minnesota ![]() | I used Proactive for 5 months- it worked great. I was having those large cyst- like zits in my face, and it really cleared them up. I ran out a week and a half ago, and bought AcneFree at Target. It is suposed to be the same thing, only cheaper (It's a knockoff!) I am so broke out again The proactive is worth the money, I am going to get it tonight. |

| ~* Commando Queen *~ | My daughter uses the generic version at CVS and it works just as well. I read the back of both and they contain the EXACT same ingredients but it's cheaper. |

| Registered User | Proactiv never did anything for me. A few years ago, a friend recommended a product called Obagi. That is a miracle drug, I swear. But it's so expensive here in UK I can't really afford it anymore. ![]() |
