Re: proactiv... any side effects???
proactive is quite popular over the internet never used it myself though
Re: proactiv... any side effects???
i have a new unused pack of proactive.. my cousin gave it to me.. i havent used it and neither have the heart to use it.. i read that ur skin gets used to the bp and once u stop using it the acne comes with vengeance.. i dont think im ever going to treat myself with these harsh chemicals..
u shud use vitamins, minerals and other natural ways to cure acne
Out of 13 people that used it, 2 said it worked for them. Many claimed it caused them more breakouts. Get u're fiance to see a derm and have his acne seem by a professional. Most of the times acne can't be treated by over-the-counter and topical treatments and requires a long-term antibiotic dosage.
Re: proactiv... any side effects???
^ Agree he should see his GP first!
he's taken every prescritption possible from the highest dosage of antibiotic to every topical cream avaialble since he was a teenager. now his acne isnt that bad. jus a few pop now n then n leave indentations of sorts. so was lokin to help him with that. he's been to wayy to many derms. n now has given up . so nothing helps the marks or indentations left behind by acne ???
Those indentations, 'ice-pick' scars can only be removed thru laser resurfacing. There are so many effective gels that can lighten acne marks though. He has to continue for a while though.. and be regular.
ice pick scars??? :-s .... described as???
thanks for replying gina.... do u knw of any such gels that help???

Re: proactiv... any side effects???
Lots of my family members have used it and have liked it. However, I've heard that the benzoyl peroxide can thin your skin over time, leading to premature aging and drying. You might want to consider alternatives.
My husband had issues when he was in his early twenties. He tried all sorts of antibiotics and topical (prescription and non-prescription) creams. Nothing seemed to make a difference. Once he picked up a Clearasil or Oxy scrub pad that was meant for sensitive skin and it made a HUGE difference in a matter of a couple weeks. I looked to see what the difference was, and the only thing we could find was that the sensitive skin one had citric acid in it. I don't know if it wa that or something else. But his skin has been pretty good since.

i tried proactiv...............it didnt work on me so now i go to a dermatalogy and it helped me alot but u never know it might work on ur fiance cuz everybody has a different skin type and i think ur fiance should go see a dermatalogy.
