Proactiv?
Help from our readers:
Ok, I’m here to ask if there’s anyone out there who has seen dramatic results from Proactiv.
My acne is as bad as it gets. My skin is oily, very dry, very sensitive and very fair.
Most acne treatments dry out my skin very badly (especially salycilic acid and benzoyl peroxide)
So, would Proactiv work for me? I don’t get those every-once-in-a-while zits, no, my acne’s full time, and on my face and shoulders.
I’ve tried all kinds of things, and so far none of them have made any difference. I think I’ve tried every face wash my supermarket supplies, I’ve tried prescription treatments, vinegar (OUCH!), drinking lots of h2o (that just made me have to pee a lot!), not eating greasy foods or chocolate.
I AM DESPERATE! And although Proactiv is too expensive for me, it’s one of the very few things I haven’t tried yet, and I’m willing to pay the small fortune if it means getting clear skin. IF IT WORKS. So before I go and spend a ton of mula, please give me your full opinion on it

I heard proactiv does work and if you’ve tried everything and nothing hurts, it would hurt to try it. I used it years ago and it worked for me but since it didnt work for my mother and brother, my mother stopped ordering it. The only thing I dont like about proactiv is the fact that you have to pay for it every month and that adds up.
One thing I havent tried but suggest to you is to try this sulfur soap. I havent tried it yet but I plan on purchasing it in the near future. I know sulfur is used to treat acne and usually you need a prescription for it but this soap contains sulfur so I believe it may help with acne. Just be advised if you do try it, sulfur is really drying to the skin so you might want to make sure you moisture and use sunscreen spf15 or above.
