PROACTIV - who here uses it?

no, not to clean your damn floors. rolleyes this isn't what this is about...

i've used Proactiv before on my face in highschool, when i really needed it, and it helped a lot
i stopped using it because i didn't like having to put sunscreen on my face to avoid the burning sensation i felt in the sun..

years later, i received a full kit for my birthday, and i really wanted it to work to get rid of the horrible blemishes on my face
i'm almost a month in and i don't really see a change... i mean my skin looks more radiant for sure but the zits are still there and the scars from past zits are fading at a very slow pace...

i'm wearing the mask right now as i type this

have any of you used the product? success? how long did it take before you were like "wow, this stuff DOES work!"?
i realize it's different for everyone, and i also realize that my body has changed since high school so it may take a bit longer for it to kick in, i guess i'm just frustrated...

discuss?

that's the stuff in the four white bottles, right? one of them is a clear bottle with greenish goo in it?

my mom got me some of that stuff years ago, and even though i don't have REALLY bad skin, i do get breakouts, especially in summer when it gets gross and humid. so i tried it then - i think i just used the "emergency repair" thing with the cloth applicator, or whatever it's called - i applied it to wherever i was breaking out - and i gotta say, just that stuff alone was pretty effective. nod

I've never had a problem with acne but I have a couple of friends who swear by this stuff.

I myself have never heard anyone say it hasn't worked.

you got to give it more than a month nod it may take a few months to see a difference. Be consistent and be patient smile
