im 17 and i have acne.
it’s not extreme but its pretty bad and makes me feel like crap.
last year i tried proactiv.
i was really excited and thought i was going to be cured.
well i used it for 3 months and my skin did not get any better. in fact, proactiv made my skin WORSE. and the acne is caused were those deep under the skin acne that is soo hard to get rid of. it caused breakout after breakout, and make my skin really red and uneven and BAD.

once i stopoed using it, i switched to biore ice cleanser, which fixed the damage from proactiv and made my skin real nice. bottom line, proactiv is just a farce. sure it works for some people but its def not the miracle cure it claims to be.
its so harsh and full of chemicals. WAY to much BP, its in everything!

what ive learned is, wh en trying to get rid of acne, dont smother your skin with chemical after chemical after chemical. dont drown it in medication after medication.

just LET IT BREATHE.

wash with a good cleanser and moisturize.
ppl make it harder than it has to be
treat your skin as if theres no acne on it,meaning use cleansers that ARENT clean and clear, oxy, and so on. it sounds messed but it works.

and the MOST IMPORTANT THING:
DO NOT PICK YOUR FACE

as hard as it is to not pick, the results will amaze you.
