Does ProActiv work?

(I don’t know if I spelled it right) I have been having problems with acne and so I bought some Pro Activ and have just started using it. I was just wondering how it worked out for other people who have used it. Thanks

I have used proactiv in the past and it was great, it definitely clears your skin…. well it was good for my skin anyway

The problem is your skin does adapt to the products, so as soon as you stop using it (or just run out), you will break out again.

It is a little bit drying, and can make your skin a bit red at first…..but apart from that its great, I used it for years.

Now I use Exposed…Its a lot nicer on my skin. If proactiv doesnt work for you, give this a shot.

Pretty much everything that @j0ey said. I used it, and my face got addicted to it almost, so when I stopped, it practically exploded in acne before my eyes. And it was harsh for me and I have sensitive skin.

I agree. Skin adapts. I found the best solution to curing acne is to mix up medications as much as possible… try to stay as natural as possible though… Oil free solutions are nice. Try to keep your face moist with oil free lotion, use sunscreen, eat right, etc. These things make a difference.

I used it (I didn’t even have any zits; my mom made me use it as a “preventive measure”), & I broke out in hives & got a fever.

Worked wonders for me! I love the stuff and it’s lasted me a while too!

It bleached my daughter’s face and she had more breakouts. Someone on here talked about zinc. My daughter started taking 25 mg a day and her skin cleared up nicely.

My husband used it and his spots were gone within one week. They have never returned.
