Like the Clinique acne solution it works wonders. You must check it out but try out the Clinique moisturizer in the yellow bottle Will help with more moisture.
If you have sensitive skin I would reccomend trying natural stuff. I have to use natural skincare cuz the chemicals burn my skin. I use the clarisonic mia natural face wash and tree tree oil mixed with water on pimples.
It worked for me for a few months and then my acne came back. A lot of my friends experienced the same thing. Try hydrogen peroxide (3%). It's super cheap and works wonders!
Try it. It works for some people, but it made my skin peel off in chunks. I really like lush's dark angels and whenever my skin gets really bad I use a mixture of salt, baking soda and water as a spot treatment overnight. It works for me, but my skin is definitely combo.
when I first used this in high school which was like ten yrs ago it worked amazingly. I bought proactiv recently and I was very disappointed. it didn't do anything for me this time around. maybe they changed their formula.
It didn't work at first but then I kept using it and it began constantly keeping my face clear && it did dry my face a bit but that was before my skin adapted to the treatment.
I heard it's not very good. I use Clinique Acne Solutions; it's kind of pricy, but it's SO worth it. I broke out bad freshman year, couldn't get rid of it and I found Clinique sophomore year and it took about 3 weeks to clear up!
It worked for me for about a month & then my acne started coming back as would not go away. What I use now is Burt's Bee's line of acne washes and acne treatments. They work great! It's natural so it doesn't harm your skin, like proactiv did to mine. It also is much cheaper. A doctor once told me the natural stuff is the way to go because the chemicals in proactiv can cause pimples to come back rather than stay away.
NO. And, no. It might help for about a month or so, but as your skin gets used to it, there's not much difference from before. Although it does work for some, but if you have stubborn acne, better to go to an esthetician.
If you feel like you need it, only use it then. It has chemicals in it that your skin gets almost addicted to, so once you stop using it your skin goes through withdrawals and gets 10x worse. So basically only use it if you can commit to it for awhile.

Proactive does not work. It leaves your face feeling more oily and dry then it did before.
