Oily Skin And Acne Using proactive?

Question

I am 14 years old now and i am using proactiv with the daily oil control. I have extremely oily skin (maybe its just puberty?), when i go to school but during the weekends its not that bad. I don't have really bad acne but i do have some. My question is do you think it is good for me to be using proactiv right now? or should i stop and just use a mild cleanser? Also if i continue using proactiv at my age will it have side affects when i grow up? (for example my face is going to be messed up?) Thanks

Answer 1

Errmmm its not that bad as acne, although i do suggest to keep using proactive just incase for future breakouts. What you could try to do is use some lotion for your skin or have daily showers.. i suggest using a special type of body wash shampoo something like a moisturizing soap. Other than that maybe its the food your eating, you could try to improve your diet(although i think its unlikely). Hope this helps.

If you are following the steps on Proactive you should have no problems with your skin. It should be good!!

Go to their website at: http://www.proactiv.com/howtouse.php?pac...

If you find that your skin is reacting, then stop using the products and go to Rite Aide. Buy the right things for your changing skin and keep your receipt. If you find that the products you bought don't work, you'll get a refund.

I like the Clean and Clear line. Lots of choices and they are not expensive.

You should keep using it if it works, finding an acne treatment that works is difficult so if it is working for you, stick with it.

The combination of Tea Tree Oil soap and the Clindamycin cream is the best for Acne and pimple.

For acne scars and blemishes my wife use papaya kojic and licorice base soap and cream which are available online. These work wonders. Maybe it will work on you too. Try searching it through Google 'shopaholic's bargains'
