Proactiv , has anybody here ever used it before? Did it work for you?

I've never had break out free skin before, but now it's pretty bad. I don't even want to look at myself and I feel pretty bad about myself because of it. I've tried everything they make, so Proactiv is my last resort. I just thought I'd see if anybody here had used it before? And, if it worked for them or not?

It worked very well for me at first, but it quit working relatively quickly and made my skin worse.

What worked for me is: washing the face with a gentle cleanser 2-3x a day. Usually in the morning and again at night. After washing your face, pat it dry and use a toner. This will dry out any excess oil. (I use witch hazel toner from Wal-Mart.) Don't touch your face AT ALL and wash your pillowcase often. Use an acne scrub (I use St. Ives apricot scrub) 3x a week. I also use moisturizer if my face dries out excessively and use a blemish stick if I get a spot.

Don't give up and go to a dermatologist if you can!

Not for me. It helps with acne a little bit. But benzoyl peroxide tends to cause extra hyper pigmentation in people of color so that was the mayor turn away for me.
The ony things that's cured my acne was going vegan

I've used it before, but it doesn't work worth a shit. I've heard that epiduo works better but i haven't tried it. But you can also get acne medication prescribed to you at a local pharmacy, it works better than any name brand and its what i currently use.

I didn't work free me.
I've had acne for 7-8 years and the only thing that worked so far was taking antibiotics everyday for a few months. However, if I stop the intake the acne comes back.

I wish I could say I've had acne but I haven't.
