Default Switched from Proactiv to Murad

And I think I see a difference. Murad seems to be working well for me, whereas Proactiv seemed to just stop working one day. I had been using Proactiv for years with fair results (still had breakouts, but were controlled better), but with Murad I don't see as many breakouts, just occasional spots here and there.

I don't have the mask that Murad offers, so I want to pick that up, but I still have a problem with Blackheads, which was true with Proactiv.

If I could find a cure for blackheads, I'd be a millionare! haha

Just thought I'd share, and get your opinions...

This isn't a cure, but it works, go to Walmart and buy a pore extractor for less than $2. (Usually where the nail clippers are) It is a metal instrument with two metal loops at each end. When u press down on your skin where a black head is, the blackhead will rise out of ur skin (its really neat !! haha) it should remove the blackhead. The only thing is it might hurt, some areas are more sensitive than others. I would also suggest using an astringent after you do this, the area tends to get oily. I have used it on some of my friends and they dont have as many blackheads now. Hope it works for you...

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.
