I am doing a science lab titled “Dietary Supplements or Drugs? ” The symptom I chose was acne, and the solution, Proactiv. Personally, I don’t use it, so I cant read the box, but if you do, please tell me about the pros and cons of Proactiv. It is fine if the information comes from the internet as long as you state the URL. Thanks!

i have acne, and i dont like it. I heard of things such as Toothpaste, Sugar and soap. there are just and endless number of homemade cures. I was wondering if anyone had any home made remedy that worked for them. I’v tried neutragena cream and things of that sort but none work. I might go and try proactic though.

Before you even tell me to go get Proactiv or Clearasil or any remedies, trust me, over the last 4 years, ive tried them all.

I’m 15 and I’ve had acne for the past 4-5 years and it is really bothering me. I get self conscious when I’m in public or when I am meeting new people. It started just on my face, then it spread to my chest, now i have really bad acne on my chest. Next it went to my back. I’m embarrassed to change in locker rooms or to go swimming or anything because of this!

Then I got this bump under my eye on my cheek. I think its a cyst, I’m not sure but it doesnt hurt and all it does is just sit there and stick out. Later i got another one of these on the same cheek, and 5 on the other cheek. Now im afraid its going on my neck
because there are now 2 of these bumps on my neck. I can’t do anything about it, they don’t pop, they don’t move, I dont know what to do about them.
