Acne

[SkeleViolence]

If only it were that simple.
My mom would freak out and say stuff like, "WE HAVE FACE WASH AT HOME, USE THAT!" and refuse to be swayed; and my dad would say "Why?" and refuse to be swayed, because apparently he likes to think that I have perfect skin or something. I don't know.

You can still go to the doctor; you don't need your parents to go along with you. Just make an appointment and go.

Also, if you do get a prescription acne cream, if you have medical insurance, it'll only cost maybe ten percent of what it could've cost.

I'm a Proactiv ® user since 2004. I got pretty bad acne a bit after I had turned 25. My problem areas were my cheeks, now the problem area is my left cheek ~ it comes and goes. I can't stand it, but I'm at fault. One cannot rely on only products. There are other things to consider such as a healthy diet (food intake), sleep, and proper hygiene. And let's not forget stress factor!

I wish you luck with getting rid of your acne. It's something a lot of us go through and it isn't a nice thing to experience. You're not alone on this, so please don't stress yourself about it, okay? Visit a dermatologist if you have to. Only he/she can give you proper advice and medication ~ if needed.

I have Proactiv, but don't use it consistently so I wouldn't be able to tell you the results. However, I too have very bad acne...and if I really need to get rid of it for a special occasion or school pics. or something like that then I'll spend the whole night cleansing my face.

First, I'll wet a warm washcloth. I will wash my face with just the wet washcloth, then I'll wash the washcloth and put cleansing/facial soap on the washcloth and scrub (but not too hard). After that step, I'll take out my Proactiv and rub the first solution on, then I'll do the second solution (if you use too much it makes it worse, so be gentle and don't use alot). That's it!

But even if it's not school pics. I have really bad acne so I usually put the Proactiv on every night if I have time. It's best to put it on at night so it gives the product time to work. I can tell you one thing, the Proactiv clears my face up more than it started to begin with. Just use it consistently and it should be better. Everyone's skin is different. I would grab some money and browse the store for a different product you think you might want to try out to help your acne if that doesn't work.

GOOD LUCK, HOPE YOU FIND SOMETHING!!!

I seem to get acne when I DO wash my face. I really don't know what to do about my acne. I get it in the strangest places too sometimes...O_O
When I do wash my face, I use Neutrogena oil free acne wash. And it doesn't work worth a cra.p. Soooo....I'm thinking that it's about time that I get a new acne wash.. Although I have been using witch hazel. It seems to help a little.

My brother used to have acne really bad and was prescribed a medicine. It worked, but he stopped using it because it gave him suicidal thoughts. O_o" Strange for an acne medicine.

ProActiv is okay. I use it and it actully helps me. But if your acne is out of control you really need to see a doctor. It might be something serious.

I don't have acne,but the new Neutrogena wave is sooo cool! It tickles lol. It is also easy to use and refreshes your skin gently.

Proactiv Solution works VERY well! I've used it for about 6 months now and my skin is not only pimple-free, but it's smooth and fresh! You will see a great difference in the first week! I highly recomend it to anybody with acne.
