proactive vs. the pill
I have about 20 zits on my face, little ones, and i want to get rid of them because yesterday i only had like 15 and i see new ones like every morning. My question is, should i use proactive or the pill? I heard proactive works really good, but will it rid ALL my pimples? And i also heard that birth control works really good on acne too, also i have an irregular period so it should help on that too? How much of a change does birth control give on zits? Does it make them completely gone?? So, my question again, proactive or the pill? I have a really bad money problem so i cant buy both, and how much is the pill?
-thank you!!

Okay well i dont know much about proactive but far as i know it works pretty well with clearing it up.. but im on birth control so i can tell you about that.. i been on birth control for 8 months and i had acne pretty bad and it has cleared up so so so much which i didnt get on it for that i got on it cause i was having sex but anyways it does help have regular periods cause i had problems with that so you should probably do that cause its probably worth more your money then proactive.. i get my pills for three months 37 dollars for three months worth.. but it all depends on insurance and things too.. much luv dez

How bout you wash your face too?
Just a thought.
You actually keep count of how many zits are on your face? Hahahhahahaha. Sorry.

Well, personally, I started using proactive when I was in the ninth grade and I've had excellent results with it. My face is totally clear most of the time--it doesn't take long for it to start working, either. Only one or two weeks.
However, proactive makes your skin very sensitive to the sun--especially if your skin is very fair. I'd suggest investing in some SPF 15 oil-free foundation or sunscreen as well to make sure you don't end up getting burnt.
Now the deal with birth control is that it doesn't have consistant results, and some people with health problems are advised not to use the pill. Depending on what type of birth control you'd like to start using, carefully read the label to make sure none of the warnings apply to you. As for what you said about it helping your period, I'm not totally sure, but I think it might lighten up your period.
Secondly, the pill might strike a little fear into the hearts of your parents, so I'd suggest telling them what your plans are with it before you go out and buy it. One of my friends accidently left the package from her birth control pills in a peice of my luggage when we went on a band trip once, and my mom found it and went crazy--and no one wants that.
All and all, good luck with your decision, and I hope I helped. :)

I would 100% say Proactive. It definately works. My ex-boyfriend had the worst case of acne and proactive cleared it all up beautifully in two weeks and though the whole 6 months we dated, he never had one pimple on Proactive.
I don't think The Pill would be great, because I know there's a weight gain side effect, and it's not meant for clearing up acne.
Good luck! If you need anything else, let me know.
