Proactiv Is Suppose to Make U Break Out
Posted: 08-09-06 19:06pm

Hi I am currently using proactiv and about four of my friends use it and say it is suppose to make u break out before actually working. And they all have clear skin. Well I have been using it 4 a month and it has made me break out like crazy. But it is only on my cheeks. And they're the big red ones that leave scars. And im thinking of quiting because its taking so long. Is it true that I t works after it makes u break out?

Thanks!

I used it, it seemed to help after a while. But then it seemed to stop working but then I didn't even use it exactly like you were supposed to. But I don't think it made me break out worse when I started using it.

Stop Using Proactiv

You definitely should stop using it if it's breaking you out like that. Normally when trying a new ritual like that or a new antibiotic made for your acne, your skin will get worse before it gets better. That is normal.. But what you're describing [deep pimples] - that shouldn't be happening after a month of proactiv. Especially if you're using the product faithfully.

Hope I could help <3

I used it and it never workes I payed alot and got nothing out of it, I bought clearasil pads and was washing my face with neutregena pore something and that seems to work better than all the expenisive cr@p/prescription stuff...

I have used just about everything the only things that seem to work so far have been 4 things but two need to be used together
~clearasil pad+neutregena pore refinig cleanser
~avon porefection mask (this stuff is amazing) can only use it 2-3 times a week though
~spectro gel is the best

I have been using sebamed (german made) for awhile now and will not go back. The product line was originally developed for people with eczema and is finally in the u.S. It is mainly in derms offices, but you can purchase it on www.Sebamedusa.Com. Use the coupon code per5 at checkout if it still works. You will love it!!! :d
