DONT USE PROACTIV!!! hi im 13 and i used proactiv only to find that after about amonth the only thing it did was dry out mi skin and make me break out more!!! mi moms friend also talked to her facialist and she said proactiv has chemicals in it that actually damages the skin. so heres mi advise. DONT USE PROACTIV!!! ITS JUST A WAIST OF MONEY!!

i used proactiv aswell, but it did work for me for a while, and then my skin stopped reacting from it..my cousin also tried it and it did NOT work for her, at all, it all depends on the type of acne / pimples.

i am 57 and still get pimples and chocolate and spicey greasy foods will do it . it is just person by person yhing how things effect your skin. my dermo dr. says if you eat it and your skin breaks out then don't eat it.so i don't and at my age it is very hard to find product that will address pimples without making you look like a prune, i find out if it is just a little pimple i open it the larger one i just use bare minerals make up that has sure helped me a lot even though i have a pimple it helps my skin and covers it up.

If you have a problem with pimples or acne, make sure you are keeping your face cleansed and moisturized with a gel based moisturizer. The myth that if you have oily skin you shouldn't moisturize is just that, a myth! mositurization is like water for your body. You will be glad you took care of it when you are older. One product that works well is MaryKay formula 3 blemish control toner and acne gel. You apply this with a q-tip after cleansing, moisturize then treat with the acne gel. See what happens. MaryKay is 100% satisfaction guarenteed. What do you have to lose, except your breakout!
