My Youngest decided it was a good idea to draw a blue pen line on the linoleum bathroom floor and we tried several different cleaners to get it off to no avail.....

then I remembered a thread someone started about proactiv and how a poster had said that their friends robe got bleached when they were using Proactiv.....so while cleansing my face this morning I used the toner and then rubbed in some repairing lotion and .....VOILA!!!!

A couple of hours later it was GONE


Huby said...."What did u use?" The look on his face when I told him


Thanks Org

Proactiv is some kinda bleach right?

Considering I use this shit everyday (the cleanser & toner, not the repairing lotion) this is pretty scary

No its a beauty product for bad skin

chillichocaholic said:

I know that but it technically bleaches the pimples off your skin. It has some sort of peroxide in it which is why some people have complained of it burning their skin.

That would explain why it got the stain out of your lino too

Apparently back in the day they used to use Coke to remove paint from roads

purplesweat said:

chillichocaholic said:

Before we drank it! You're technical tonight chilli!

purplesweat said:

Am I? Sorry

chillichocaholic said:

It's all good

purplesweat said:

Actually I was told once that coke used to contain small traces of cocaine.....hence Coke
No wonder they cleaned paint off roads with it

I think on that McDonalds doco Supersize Me they said there's some addictive ingredient in their cheese which makes kids hyper.

purplesweat said:

Yeah, I saw that Freaky

Proactive?
Is that that shit Jessica Simpson promotes at godless hours of the morning?

It bleaces shit?

Then I guess Jessica don't use it in real life, coz she is downright fuckn orange these days.

Chilli, you have nice skin, though. You MILF, you.

And, I just saw your tatt! Hot. Didn't know you were tatted.

...Got any more, then?

purplemoonkitten said:

chillichocaholic said:

that stuff made my skin so dry and evilly red. and now i know why i really should've used the remainder for cleaning random stains up.

and Im using this stuff on my face every day!!!

veronikka said:

I know, me too
and dontcha love how everyone has started random proactiv threads now I feel so popular

Mimic a form of flattery after all

chillichocaholic said:

Now that is funny.

chillichocaholic said:

ACTUALLY before cocaine became illegal, it was used in various "health tonics"...Coca-Cola being one of them. In fact, there was even a cocaine-laced WINE that was popular at the time (in fact the Pope at that time was fond of it!).


...AND you can clean the gunk off the terminals to your car battery with it as well!

It's benzoyl peroxide. Peroxide is the part that "bleaches" stuff, but it's technically not bleach, that would be chlorine. The suffix -oxide means it contains at least one part oxygen and the oxygen is what kills bacteria that cause acne.

I think some of you are overreacting a bit. It's not like chlorine or ammonia or something.

So you actually paid attention in Chemistry class, eh?

Nerd.

PurpleJedi said:

No, just to the Proactive info-mercials. (And I was a lifeguard--that's why I know about chlorine.)

But doesn't everyone know "oxidation" is just a fancy word for rust? And rust happens when stuff is exposed to oxygen...so 'oxide' would have to do with oxygen.
