Proactiv Review
I have tried ProActiv a few years ago because at the time I had acne almost every day. It seemed like a flair up that wouldn’t go away by conventional methods. I was very motivated by all of the commercials I saw and the celebrity endorsements about getting rid of acne.
When I received it, everything was very self-explanatory as far as the steps that needed to be followed and how much of the product to use. I started with a pea size amount of the cleanser which did manage to cover my whole face – at first I thought it seemed like it wouldn’t be enough. The toner smelled fine and worked the same way my regular toner did. The lotion was very light on my skin (which is great since I have oily skin) and smelled nice.
The first week went fine but I noticed that my skin seemed a little tender. The second week I used it my face burned every time that I washed my face. I started to use less of the product at that point. I went from using a pea size amount to using about half of that. At the end of the second week, my face felt like leather and was bright red. My skin was also very dry and tender to the touch. Someone from work commented that it looked like I got a real bad sunburn on my face. I didn’t want to give up since I was so determined to get rid of my acne. By this time I believe I had but it was hard to tell since my entire face was red. My husband was so worried that he called the company who told me to stop using the product and ship it back. He packaged it up and shipped it back before I got my hands on it again.
I’m Asian so I don’t know if it is because I have a different skin type? I’ve noticed recently that there is a lighter formula that can be used. Luckily, a few weeks later after returning to my regular regiment my skin returned to normal and my acne went away. I’ve been acne free ever since.

Getting Rid Of Acne With Proactiv
Like many people my age, I’ve spent a long time getting rid of acne. I’ve tried going to many dermatologists and tried every over the counter medicine that exists. None of them came anywhere close to working.
I began to fall into a deep depression over the fact that my acne problems were going to be there for my whole life; not only would they persist throughout my youth, but they would remain visible for the rest of my life as scars. When I first learned about proactiv, I wasn’t convinced that it was going to be any better than any other potential acne cure. Thankfully, I was wrong.
This company really discovered something that every other company seemed to be missing – not only is this one of the most cost-effective acne medicines on the market, but it’s certainly the best, at least in my case. I have many other friends who have started taking proactiv based on my recommendation and they are all extremely happy that they decided to do so. Not only did I recommend this to my friends, but I also recommended this to most of my family members, as acne is something that runs in my family. My brother in particular was surprised at how quick and effective this was in curing his problem, which was actually even worse than mine.
I will be forever in debt to the proactiv company, as they managed to do something that no other company in the market was capable of doing; making me acne free. I feel like if more people knew about proactiv and knew how cheap it can be (if you find it on the right online site) there would be a lot fewer miserable teenagers out there. These guys have created something that is the closest thing to a miracle in the dermatology market. I never thought that this would actually be something that could be almost completely cured, but apparently this company and its scientists know something that the rest of us don’t. Give proactiv a try today.

Using Proactiv For Getting Rid Of Acne
Proactiv is a very popular medication for getting rid of acne and when our daughter became a teenager and got acne we bought it. It was recommended by my sisters and worked well on their daughter’s faces. It cleared their acne. They felt that it would help my daughter as well. My daughter’s friends also recommended Proactive.
The saleswoman recommended that she use it gradually and this is what she did. But in a few days her face started getting red. She stopped using the medication but the redness would not go away, and it started to itch and burn. After a few days we decide to bring her in to see the doctor. It was too strong for her. Her doctor felt that the skin irritation was so bad that she sent her to a specialist. The skin specialist made her take medication and only use Centaphil for her face. It took a month or two before her skin when back to normal. The whole ordeal was hard for my daughter. It was her first year of high school and she was trying to make new friends. She felt very uncomfortable about the entire situation.
It has been two years now and she does what the specialist recommended. She controls her diet and knows which foods give her acne. Because of her sensitive skin, she is unable to use Proactiv. I would suggest parents to be careful when allowing their children to use this product. If your children have reaction to a little bit of it, discontinue use immediately and see your doctor. A lot of teenagers love this product and it works for them. But there are a few teenagers, like my daughter, who will get an adverse reaction to it. When using a new product use it gradually and cautiously.
After a while you will figure out if Proactiv will help your child or not. It is a hard time for them and there is a great deal of peer pressure, but what might work for their best friend might not work for them.
