What do you recommend? pro-activ sucks...?

Question

So, i had some minor acne on my forehead and i bought proactiv, at first, it worked great. but after a week or so my whole face started to get acne. What do you recommend for acne treatment?

Answer 1

I really like the clinique acne care line.  My husband and I both use it.  It helps clear the pimples really quickly!

Answer 2

yeah proactive isn't for everyone. My sister recomended me Tea Tree Oil face wash from The Body Shop and Olay lotion lol i don't care if it's girly who gives a ****. But i used that and put on the lotion for about 2 weeks and my acne completely cleared up and i was so happy for my sophomore pictures and my everyday life not looking like a loser with acne. I really think you sould try it out and use for AT LEAST 1 month, because when i started, i broke out bad and then it got better as i kept on using it. Thats actualy a sign that your face is getting better cause the face wash takes all the dirt out so pimples rise but once all of that rises, it goes away and then from that point, your acne free! of course it's not PERFECT and i do get 1 zit about once a month but it's much better than before. Try it out, and see how it goes. Good Luck

I recommend using a tea tree soap bar twice a day. Then after apply Tea Tree Oil. It is natural and the oil is an antiseptic so it kills germs on your skin. It doesn’t dry out my face or clog pores. I have been using it for a few months and my skin is 100% different. Make sure you use it everyday. You will see results in a week. You can buy it at health stores and one brand I use is “Thursday Plantation”. It is about 15$. I highly recommend this practice. Good luck

Answer 4

I wasted the money on proactiv too and apart from being pricey its also really harsh for your skin and environment!  

My skins saving grace was when a friend recommended I head to the closest Lush and speak to them about skincare, now I am hooked!  I use their Coalface soap and apart from being inexpensive and lasting forever its made from natural, organic ingredients and is NOT tested on animals!  

The lush website is great too because there are customer reviews attached to each product detail page so you can see what other people think about each item.  The stores also give out samples of skincare if you ask so you can "try before you buy" to make sure it works for your skin.  The samples were great because my skin is so picky I needed to be sure before I put money into anything.

I hope this helped!
