well, i am officially disgusted and fed up with my skin.
it seems like everything i try, my skin gets worse.
it fucking sucks.
i want my skin to be clear for my wedding in october, so i went ahead and signed up for proactiv.
it was on sale for $19.95, so i thought i'd give it a try.
has anyone on here used it?
if so, please tell me stories.
i did try a few years ago and it kinda hurt my skin, it made it burn a bit.
but i didn't really give it a chance, i only used it for like a week and a half.
i am totally giving up and running out of ideas here, so i am gonna give it one more try.
any proactiv stories would be great right now, thanks.

It worked great on me (although I forget how long that took) and then abruptly stopped working after about a year. I've read that isn't uncommon.

I think my skin was worse after that, but it's possible it just felt that way because I thought I was in the clear, so to speak, and it's also possible it was just going to be an exceptionally bad time for my skin anyway, for some reason.

I've had terrific results with the acne.org regimen, which I've been using for a couple of years. I even got lazy and barely did it during my recent vacation, actually, I was lazy enough to not even wash my face many days (it was too hot to go out much), and my skin hardly broke out at all. I don't know if the regimen actually fixed my skin, or if I simply was having a mid-thirties adult acne phase that has since passed.

meh. it was ok, but not for severe acne or anything.

It's ery harsh though, after years of using hard chemicals on my skin I ow use a gentle cleanser (Avene Cleanance), rose water as a toner, and aloe vera as a moisturizer and treatment at night to even out skin tone, treat blemished, fade scars...

this has been working great for me. my skin hasn't looked this good i a long time!!!

hmmm, it just stopped working?
that is kinda weird.
i am still gonna give it one more try...a real try this time.
one thing that sucks is that as soon as i placed my order it told me that it is gonna take 2-3 weeks to come!
that sucks ballz, i sure hope that i get it sooner than that.

the aloe vera isn't too greasy for a moisturizer?
