Default Acne - ProActive Solutions

I've had mild acne in my twenties and i had progressive acne as a teenager (it wasnt severe in the sense that my entire face was covered, but i did have a sort of 'cystic' problem).

Since starting on Apri Duramed BC pill, my acne has gotten SO much better, and just an active lifestyle (eating less sugar, drinking more water). But I still had the occasional problem of some light scarring and also these tiny white heads that just made my skin look 'rough.'

I decided to bite the bullet and try the ProActive solution from the infomercial on TV. THIS PRODUCT IS FANTASTIC!! My skin practically GLOWS now and if I ever have the slightest breakout, i just put a dab of the mask solution on it before bedtime and in the morning its gone.

The trail pack come with the wash (which is kind of an exfoliator too), toner, mask, and cream. They tell you to use it as a 'system' but being in the Northeast and weather and climate changes, my skin was far too sensitive for that... Now I just alternate the wash/occasional mask with my regular face wash Cetaphil...

Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know that I've had really good results from using this product.....

Glad it works for you! I use a tretinoin cream at night, and was using an antibiotic cream in the morning (it was all suprisingly cheap because it lasts so long) but now that I am taking BC pills again, all I use is the tretinoin cream.

I am pretty much under control now, but a couple of years ago I considered Proactiv so many times, and was afraid it wouldn't work for me. Glad to hear it does work!

By the way, I visited your website, and it had some very interesting stories on it! I got carried away and read quite a bit. You are very talented.
