Default Proactive...did it work for you?

I used to break out on my chin area. But I've been using Proactive for 4 months now and I am noticing a difference. I don't use it everyday anymore, but whenever I notice my chin or cheeks start breaking out, I use it and it helps.

Anyone else use this stuff? Positive and Negative feedback appreciated

I've tried it a couple of times but because my skin is sensitive it burns my skin. But it has worked for a few of my friends.

I've been using Proactive for about 3 years or so now...and it's always worked great.. i no longer get any breakouts except when i pluck chin hairs (yuck!).

it's great that it's FSA available now but for some reason, FSA doesn't think it's allowed. How to get the receipts for proactive purchased is a problem when it comes to FSA (flex spending accounts).

My daughter tried using Proactive and it really dried up her skin. She finally tried something called acnezine and it worked great for her. But if you find something that works, stick with it.

It's been a long time since I've used Proactive, but from what I remember, it made my skin VERY oily, so i did research and switched to another product that was supposedly "better" than Proactive (and cheaper) and I liked that one better. Nevertheless, now I just use store-bought facial cleansers and it seems to be working just fine!

NO... I HATE THAT STUFF.

Gir. I bought it for 4 months hoping it would do something for me... I actually think it made my skin worse

But I do know a few of my friends who have used it and had better results.

My younger brother used it for his back acne and it only helped clear it up a bit not much. Waste of money if you ask me. There are some good products out there though. Active ingredient in almost everyone of them is Peroxide.

Dried my skin out horribly.

Hormonal birth control is my acne solution.
