proactiv
I’ve been using ProActiv for about 2 weeks now. I had mild acne but it has been worse recently. I lost around 15 lbs that I could not afford to lose due to a large amount of stress in my life and I guess because of the hormonal imbalance it worsened my acne, I’m not for sure. My skin has cleared a little, it’s definitely a lot smoother but has a little bit of peeling. Does anyone know how long it usually takes (from experience) for the ProActiv to completely clear the skin?? Thanks!! :)

i dont know if this will help you but i tried it for a couple months and it didnt really help me all that much. maybe it just doesnt work as well for some people…

i guess it really depends on the person.
for me, proactiv started clearing my face after 3 days.
probably the reason why its not working as well for you is because u said urself that there’s a lot of stress in ur life, and the proactiv and the stress counter-attacks each other therefore producing no results.

try some stress relieving actions along with the proactiv

I have ProActiv, and I noticed a difference in one day. Believe it or not, I had quit using it and switched to Noxzema for some weird reason, and my acne came back, so I went back to ProActiv and it had cleared up a bit the next day! I don’t see why it’s not changed for you, maybe it’ll take some time. Also, you mentioned your face peeling? Make sure you’re using the repair lotion. If you use all steps it shouldn’t be pealing and it should be cleared up real soon {; Goodluck!

It depends on the person. ProActiv works, but the disappearance of acne varies on each person who uses it. Mine never completely disappeared, and I have mild acne, but my point is that it varies from person to person.

it is possible that you are having an allergic reaction to the ProActiv which would explain the peeling, or you could be applying the ProActiv too much or too little. Also the recent stress could be causing the ProActive to appear like its not working very well. it is only working against the ProActiv. I suggest you find a different acne medication, perhaps Clearasil Ultra. That’s what I use. I would send u a picture to prove it, but I have no way to take a picture of myself because I have no digital camera/camera phone, etc. I hope I’ve helped in some way. Good luck to you!
