My adult acne
UGH, is it not the worst? I thought that I had it bad as a teenager, but alas I didn’t at all. It didn’t really start until after the kids, so late 20’s. By 30 it was horrible. I went to a dermatologist and they had me use this cream once a day and take a pill. The pill made me sick and the cream burnt the crap out of my face. When I worked out my face just felt permanently sunburned. Chapped and cracked. It hurt so bad and there wasn’t anything pretty about it during or after workouts especially. Needless to say, I quit using it all and just dealt with the breakouts.
Many friends had recommended Proactive and I had tried it at one time. Of course using it regularly as suggested helps. LOL So I quit and that was when I went to the dermatologist and paid big bucks for stuff I wouldn’t use.
So again, about 8 months ago I’m working with a great gal that had the same issue. She used Proactive and loved it. She told me that there were a few things she does so it doesn’t dry her skin out. She only uses the toner once a day instead of twice and that works for her. But the big thing I hadn’t done before was using a moisturizer. DOY, what a difference!
I had the typical mentality of not adding any more oil to my face, so I didn’t put any moisturizer on it. Big mistake! I would use these oil stripping products and then my face would have try to balance itself by making even more oil. Oh man, worse than ever.
Now I tell everyone how great Proactive is and the proper way to use it. Don’t forget the moisturizer. LOL The only reason I have any breakouts now are when I do the really bad thing of going to bed with my make-up on. YIKES, that is so bad. But in the old days that would have set my skin back for months. Now I just get a break out or two and they are gone in a couple of days max.
Proactive is seriously the best product on the market and especially for how affordable it is. The bottles of product last me well over a month. So there is my little infomercial. But I truly, truly love it and am so happy to not be so acne prone in my 30’s!

So, can you use it on tweens?? My soon to be 12 year olds forehead is forever breaking out and looks so bad. Where can I get the stuff too??

You can get it by clicking on the link in the post. Just hit the proactive and it will take you to it. The cool thing is if you don’t need a lot of it, then you can have the automatic shipment sent at longer intervals.
I have mine set to every 12 weeks and that seems to work for me, but you can go even longer since your tween won’t be using as much.
