ProActiv Discussion

[KIT]

Thank you so much for your response. Im gonna go thru with the 30 day trial, just to give it a chance...In a way i hope it doesnt work cause its so expensive, but of course i want to find something that actually works. It will be bitter-sweet, whatever the outcome is. Well thanks again.

It did work for me, I had horrible skin the first week I started using it, I was starting to think I got scammed lol! Then my skin started to get better by the second week (thank god because I was about to return it to get my money back!) But I did find the only down side was that you really cant skip a day, I can get a bit lazy and I find I just started to break out again

If you have oily prone skin you ll love it!!!!!

ProActive!

i found this stuff by zapzyt and just ordered it, totally unglamorous name + packaging, but it had amazing reviews saying it was better then proactive and it's WAY cheaper. it's a 10% benzoyl peroxide cleansing bar that contains no soap. it sounds really good, i can't wait to try it. i ordered 2 bars so i better like it lol. i'm not sure if it's easy to find in stores so i ordered 2 to have a back up just in case.

i used it a while ago, it smelled soo bad and made my skin so dry so i stopped using it. Also, i heard it contains bleach, so that worries me a little..

I've used it successfully for almost 7 years now. I had pretty bad all over the face red and even cystic acne for almost 2 years. I had been to nutritionist and even a few dermatologist and proactive was what got my skin to what it is today. Today I have people tell me my skin always looks perfect or amazing. I've never used all three steps. When my acne was worse I used it twice a day with only the lotion at night... as my skin got better I only used it at night... and now I only use it once to twice a week depending on how my skin is behaving. I use Burt's Bees Radiance moisturizer to help with the drying and Cetaphil to wash my face all other times. It's a good product to get rid of acne, but it can wreak havoc on your face so I've learned to customize the rest of my routine to have it work for me. Also get white face towels, sleeping shirts, pillowcase if you are having issues with the peroxide in some of their formulas.

I would stick with it for at least 30 days... and mess around with your routine til you get something you like.

Sunless Tanning and Proactiv.

Has anyone tried this before? I am not sure how well it would work but I am using proactiv and I would like to spray tan. Any advice? Thanks!

 

[Jessica0984]

I've been using it for a week now and so far it is awesome for me. My face still has like 2 pimples but my skin itself looks a lot better I am so excited..Now I am just trying to figure out how to sunless tan while using it. If anyone has any info, could you please comment on my thread. Thanks!

Re: Sunless Tanning and Proactiv.

haven't personally ever done both at the same time but i've used proactiv before. the cleanser has little exfoliating beads in it which remove skin cells from the top of the skin's surface so i'd imagine that using proactive after getting a sunless tan would make the tan on your face fade much quicker than the rest of your body.

Re: Sunless Tanning and Proactiv.

I guess I will just have to try it out and play around with it until I can figure it out. Thanks.

Didn't work at all for me and I've had problem skin for quite a while. It find it to be really harsh. The cleanser doesn't do anything, it just has tiny grains in it but it doesn't even clean my face that well. I've found the best method for skin is to use natural products without harsh chemicals. I use charcoal soap, exfoliation grains like apricot seeds and coconut oil has been working really well for me to clear my skin.

my boyfriend used it briefly, and while it did clear his skin up, it became very dry, flakey, and irratated.
Someone once compared it to putting bleach on your skin... and i believe it.
He has since started to use Lush's ocean salt scrub and sometimes uses the lotion from proactive. Ive also got him doing some natural peels, which when he uses thyem, makes his skin look devine.

This stuff didn't work for me at all. I got it and used it for a month and quickly used the money back guarantee. If it weren't for the guarantee I would have never tried it.

I wouldn't say it was harsh on my skin. It just never did anything to get rid of my acne.

 

[xdanielleax]

I have used it off and on for years. The past few months my skin had gotten really bad around my chin area. I've been using it for 2 weeks and it has really helped. I only use the repairing lotion at night though because when I wear it under my foundation it gets a bit dry and separates.

Update: Proactiv wasn't a long term solution for me. Worked dramatically in the beginning and then started to lose effectiveness. I eventually went on stronger prescription medication and my acne is much better/non-existent now.

I also think the proactiv cleanser with exfoliating microbead things were too hard for me for daily use.
