Proactiv Options

[Mini]

hey. i was just wondering how many of you use proactive. if so, does it work?

[mai_z]

i've never used proactive, but my friend has, and it worked really well for her....it kinda drys out her skin tho...i heard that it only works for certain types of skin....not all

[islandkiss]

nope. I want to though.. it looks pretty effective.

[SupraS15]

it works! I hardly use it now but it worked when I did use it.

[LiNHy POO]

oo i seen comericals and stuff for it!!! looks like it does!!! but nahh i dont use it!!!

[xoxo]

i want to use it but then .. i'm too lazy and i don`t feel lyke paying for it even though i can get my money back and awl`s that crap.

[*tweeak*]

ive been using it for a couple of months and it hasnt helped so far...

[gamergirl88]

I used it, and it works well. It's just outrageously expensive. It has the same ingreidents as any neutrogena crap tho

[kraziegrl]

i feel stupid. i dont noe what it is.. hehehe well i heard of it.. on commercials and stuff, but i kinda forgot

[brittnner]

yeah, Im using it now. I noticed that it gets worse for like a week then clears up REALLY [B] well.

xanger

[x0xcrzybabyx0x]

haha when i first saw this thread i thought it said "do you use protection?" lol .. thats silly.. well no i dont use proactive but my friend does and it has worked realllllly well on her!!
<33 emma!!

[jaeman]

I use proactiv! It works! It works so much! That my skin was flawless at one point. Then it kinda came back and then I used proactiv again then once again, my face was flawless.

Haha. Expensive stuff though.

[emptyminded]

Eh.. Yea.. It works when I'm not on my cycle.. when that happens it never works... but that reminds me i need to order some more..

[Yemmerz]

I use phisoderm. But...I don't see any results. >< Time to check the isles again.

[y0urmistake]

I have it, but dont use it.. i think i should start though

[x0143637x0]

i dont have it but i hear from some people that it dont work and others says it works

[sheddingtears]

Yeah, I guess it does depend on the type of skin people have. Their long ass commercials with people crying about the way they looked before and all that stuff really sell. It makes me wanna buy some every time.

[l_baybeexgrl_l]

it didnt work for me

but i do other stuff to my face and it clears up!

[dani41790]

no i dont use proactive cuz i dont realli need it

[*Kathleen*]

Hmm...I was thinking about getting that, but it's so expensive! Heh. I didn't even know if it worked or not. I have tried so much stuff and I kinda figured, "Why is this any different?" With my luck, it probably wouldn't work.

[*AngelicEyz00*]

I use it, and um doesn't seem to work, but i think that's only cuz i don't even use it everyday and you're supposed to use it like at lleast twice a day =] haha, oh well... i'm what you call "lazy"

[Mini]

I use it, and um doesn't seem to work, but i think that's only cuz i don't even use it everyday and you're supposed to use it like at lleast twice a day =] haha, oh well... i'm what you call "lazy"

elba, can u send me some samples to try. lol

[ji_cabinx]

i use it...but i've only had it for a week, so there's no results yet...

[Mini]

hurmmmm so proactive really doesnt work for most people. and it friggin costs like 50 dollars.

[lcapk]

no.. i wanted to but didnt think it would work. i went to a dermatologist and gave me some of her products and some w/ prescription and they work. they didnt try my skin up

[NvieDi3ai3yGrL]

i've never used it before .. so i wouldn't know :X

[swEeteSt_siN_o8]

It really works good! And it's soo easy!! It's worth it :] I tried everything.. it just dried the skin out, this doesn't because of the reparing lotion, the last thing you use.. it's awesome!

[h0tpinkstar84]

I got Proactive when it had just started coming out. I used it for 6 months. I saw results, but not what I was expecting or what I had seen on the poeple on the commercial. It didn't work for my friend either, but I have seen it work on others. I think it really depends on what skin type you have and how bad your acne is. I ended up going to the dotor and have been for a couple years now, the stuff that they give me works a lot better!

[LatinaLady]

i dont use it... and i have no idea what it is so yeah.

[emrzz09]

I dont use it. But my friend does, and it actually made her results worse.

[xsweetdreams12x]

I use Stridex, but I want to use ProActive. It looks more effective, and quicker to clean the acne.

[moosepoop]

i use it, most of my pimples went away but there are those tiny bumps that won't go away!

[mznina]

i used to...never worked

[x AZN D0RKii x]

never heard of it. never tried it.

[Alpha240]

i never used it but my sister does and she keeps getting it, so i guess it works. but it might be one of those things you ALWAYS have to use or else u'll get pimples again

[ELizabethx143]

I use it, and I have been for about a year, it's bad sometimes but then it clears up, but I pick at my face a lot so I guess that makes it worse.

[nlgrl]

no. mai bro used it and it made it wrose

[tallaznkate]

WUT DE HECK iS PROACTiVE?

[mzteriouzme007]

i use prooactive.. it works for me, but then the skin around my nose gets all like.. dry

[silver-rain]

uh, i don't use it. i think i might need it though.

[*krnxswat*]

I do, but it's making it worse.

[adnilamila_fe]

yup i use it...i gotta or else i look like i have big ass red pimples the size of a baseball. lol. u should da seen my face before i used proactice....not a very pretta sight. lol but sometimes i still get a few pimples like now! i have some HUGE ones on my face.... they better go away soon...i have a game this friday!!!

[eli5e]

no but i was about to.. i saw it at my friends house ..its freakin SMALL as hell .. the bottles look ALOT bigger on tv and in ads.. o_O and its intended for white ppl skin so it wont be good for asian skin

[cutielilsuga]

i use to use that
but it doesn't even work
it just makes me break out more
so i said screw it haha

[fallenang3l211]

[FONT=Impact][COLOR=green]i tried it and it dried my skin out so bad. my face was cruddy for a week and a half

[LeSLiE]

IT WORKS!!! i just get really lazzyyy and forget 2 use it.. but it really works.. i used it for like a month and my face was pretty much cleared

[pbear]

It's all about Neutrogena.
Neutrogena RapidClear Acne Eliminating Spot Gel.
^Yeah, that's it.

[bballchick1]

no..i don't use it

[me1issaaaa]

i use the off-brand cheap stuff lol. it's got the exact same ingredients and it works really well. it's called AcneFree.. haha go figure. but yea i rarely ever get zits so i guess it's working

[sweetdreamsx3]

What is proactive anyways? Lol, by this you can tell, I don't use it.

[phedder]

nope don't use it. Like many of you, it worked for a friend. Her mom bought it for her but she doesn't even have acne/blemishes!!
Does it really work?? I'm a very "influenced by other's results" person. Proactive is available in Metropolis (Canada) on a little wooden cart/stand. lol! Those small merchant stand in the middle of the "hallway" of malls?? can't explain

[nlgrl]

im scared to use it cuz it made mai brothers face wrose

[ShEraBaRoO]

i have it!! its the BEST!! i had really bad acne until i started using it and i rarely see a zit on my face... i recommend that you use it

and what i love about it is that it gets rid of acne scars (errr i mean it helps them less visible)

[lovemexnot]

i used to.. it worked for a couple months then it stoped lol

[slicin_dicin]

yupp =] it works grrreeeatt!!! yay =]

[*stephinika*]

nope but i've heard it works. clearasil isn't bad either, thats what i use.

[nyctophiliac]

nope i'm lucky, my skin doesn't break out but i do get some pimples once in awhile around my nose...just little ones

[easilyxamusedx]

i use it! i think it works well for my skin. i mean i know some people who use it just because they want to prevent acne..it's not a harsh treatment or anything..I defidently think if someone has a bad case of acne they should alteast give it a shot..it could work for you!

[moorepocket]

yupp =] it works grrreeeatt!!! yay =]

i want to use so bad but i don't the cash. hehe. It does work!!!

[spUnkyfOtOgrafr]

heck yea!! it works hecka well on me. but i guess it depends on the type of skin you have too. cuz mai friend used it too, but it just made her break out more

[sjlee]

i used it.. when i went to school my face completely broke out, it looked pretty bad, and my face was clear before. and then i used it and a month later, it did a lot of good.. like 2 months after my face was completely free and it's stayed like that...
it works

[LiLEthiopian]

i have it..i used to use it..then i got lazy..plus it made my skin feel all tight..>.<

[HelloSunshine]

i've never used proactive, but my friend has, and it worked really well for her....it kinda drys out her skin tho...i heard that it only works for certain types of skin....not all

i agree my friend uses it i don't I use Neutrogena..but yeah..it worked well for her

[blonde-wonder]

i've always wondered if it was as good as everybody says.

[jecissa]

I have Proactiv, and it has helped my skin to a certain extent. It does make my skin a bit dry, and I still get pimples, but not as bad as I used to. You have to stick w/ it though and not expect instant results. It takes a couple of weeks to start working.

[S0_DANGER0Uz]

oh my friend has that stuff. . . to let it work it really depends on how bad your skin is and wat kind of skin you have. If your skin isn't that bad like only a couple of pimples dont excpect a lot to happen. If you have a lot of acne and stuff . . . it works but it wont make your skin all clear. Proactiv also doesn't work with all skin. It works better for some kinds of skin types :]

[Winter]

When you talk about facial products, it really depends on your skin type. Like for instance, I have sensitive skin and can't use products with a certain chemical. Unfortunately most face wash has that chemical so I use organic soap to wash my face. And it helps way more than proactiv ever did. So yeah, check what kinda skin you have first.

^^that`s true. you should base it on your skin type rather than everybody`s opinion. maybe asking someone with the same skin type as your`s will help.

[ApunBindaas]

It reduces a lot of pimples but not all. My friends who use Proactiv says the same thing. The only complaint was always keeping up with it. You cant' miss one day

[unfortunatekiwi]

didn't really work for me. :-/

[tresa1992]

It worked, I think..

It took so long for it to start working on me though.

[sunissed14127]

well i've never personally tried it, but one of my friends has,and she said it works really good.

[nyCzxfOx]

NO NO NO NO NO

it didnt work AT ALL.. it didnt even dry up my pimples >=[

just plain regular (not facial) SOAP worked x100000 better

[angeloncloud9]

A lot of my guy friends have used it. It's dramatically changed their appearance.

[HikaruTakekawa]

yeah my mom suggested it to my neighboor, but i dont think it worked on him all that well. not too sure.

[sweetlyz]

my cousin says it does but you`ve gotta use it EVERY DAY or it won`t work as well or as quick as you may have expected.

[oo1_Lady]

it depends on your skin type like my sister says bekuhz she has horrible problem with it and when she tried it, it didn't help at all so she quit and now she uses this chinese medicine and it helps really well but she has to have it all the time but i don't know what the brand of it is so i'm sorrie i can't really help but i alwaiz thought those were scamms for you to buy thier product

[jr0h]

depends on your skin tone but it usually works. my friend had a lot and after a month it all disappeard!!

[lyin_in_wait]

i always enjoy watching that commercial and seeing the people with perfect skin washing their face but anyways, i dunno i havent used it but ive used "knock offs" and they worked for me :) but now i just use clearasil ultra stuff and it actually works...

[Rogue_Ewok]

It didnt work for me. I had an alergic reaction to it and it burned my skin. I have a dermotologist now.
~Jani

[bad_girl]

nothing works for me. arghh!!!

[Shorty435]

I have proactiv and it did not work.
But I like the lotion...other than that, it sucked and my face got worse.

[*tweeak*]

depends on your skin tone but it usually works. my friend had a lot and after a month it all disappeard!!

not your skin tone, your skin type. the color of your skin has little to do with it.

it didnt help me

[azn_r4pf4n]

i always enjoy watching that commercial and seeing the people with perfect skin washing their face  but anyways, i dunno i havent used it but ive used "knock offs" and they worked for me :) but now i just use clearasil ultra stuff and it actually works...

the proactiv commercial is hecka annoyin!!!

but it really does work. took me 3-5 weeks for me to get the zits out though =)

[yellowgurl]

i dont really no what it is.. is it some kind of cream? *raises eyebrows*

[Soleil]

Nope but i heard its really amazing...so i want too.

[*mzkandi*]

my friend is using it....i cant really see the difference. but maybe that is because i didnt really see anything wrong with her skin to begin with

[nicky04033]

i reli wanna try... but my family doesnt have any credit card=( so.... i dun even have a chance to try

[kokosofly]

I have it and it seems like its working pretty good so far

[*salcha*]

yes, and it SUCKED.
not to mention it's a waste of money, $50 down the drain!

[angelshortipnai]

No i don't use it, I use clearasil.... proactive's hek a expensive o_o but I heard its good

[dolover]

yes, i do. i works a little for me but it seem to came back. im still using it. i have been begging my mom to get it since the 7th grade when my acne was out of control. she finally agree to get it for me like this year (4 years later). my mom says the whole out of control acne thing is from genetics which is true according to proactive. it help but sometime i wish they made a cure for acne since it jacks up my face.

[dolover]

i reli wanna try... but my family doesnt have any credit card=( so.... i dun even have a chance to try

umm..have you tryed going to the mall? that where i got mines. they usually have stands around displaying the bottles and a TV with jessica simpson saying it works. well i dont know but i know its sold on places in the mall.

[Teesa]

no, but it sounds great. I use differin gel, and it works very well=]

[xhiddenemotion]

no but i used a bit of my friends at a sleepover. it worked pretty well, i used it twice. it definately worked on my friend though.

[bravodancer04]

I use proactive..and I love it

[Nicolatofu]

hmmm... I think I should start. I used it a looong time ago, but it didn't do anything for me. But then again, I didn't have acne then. I have no clue why I used it..haha

[iheartsimba]

No, but I want to start!

[twisted_stripes]

ME ANY MY MOM JUST BOUGHT ONE FOR MY OLDER BROTHER YESTERDAY. THEY SAY IT WORKS REALLY GOOD.. BUT SOME OF U UP THERE WROTE THAT IT DRIES THE SKIN AND ITS NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES.. IS THAT TRUE??

THE SALESLADY SAID IT WORKS FOR ALL TYPES THOUGH.. WONDER IF ITS TRUE.. HMM.

[vz_danielle]

what's a proactive?
*sorry for i'm so stupid*
