Is Proactiv for acne really effective?!
Question:
Is Proactiv for acne really effective?
I still get acne breakouts whenever I'm stressed or my monthly period gets delayed. I am already 30 years old and having acne at this age is really disgusting. Can you suggest a great product?
Answers:
Proactive is a product that's not fully trustworthy. It could work for you, but it could work against you as well. If you start it, you have to be sure that you do the whole process every morning and night. If you miss a day, your skin will go through "withdrawal" and you face will worsen.
It sounds to me like you dint have acne at all. I have your problem (I'm about to be 24) but the doctor says it's not acne. He said its just when my hormone levels bounce around, then it messes with my skin. I considered taking this product called "Natures Cure" because my cousin was taking it and it worked for her, but to me, pills are scary.
What you're going to have to do is get something more mild like Neutrogena three step. It isn't as hard on the skin, and you wont suffer from withdrawals if you miss a morning of use.
What's also working for me is getting facials about a week before my period and then a week after, (basically one about every two weeks.) Just have the facialist use "all natural" products on your face, (people like us have sensitive skin). I'm sure this method will work for you, good luck
P.s I heard Ortho Trycyclin is good for this (unless you are pregnant or trying to conceive.)
