I just got proactive, and i was wondering how long it takes for it to real noticably start working, and if it works as well as the infomercials say. Also, could only people that have actually used this answer to this or know someone who used and you saw a difference
beachhun101 answered Friday August 5 2005, 7:45 pm: ok ive actually used proactive for like 6 months, i didnt have bad acne just very very mild. it works i guess, but if you dont have bad acne dont use it. it took about 2-3 weeks to just start actually noticing, but it didnt do much for me because i didnt need it that bad. i went to my dermatoligist and got some gel/cream to use instead. i also heard that proactiv can semi fade away your skin color. didnt happen to me, and i dont think its true. but just thought id let you know-even though it 99.99999% wont happen. hope this helps!

To be honest she looked lyk zits had colonized every skin cell she had on her face but now she only gets one or two once a while. She says it works pricey but it works.

azngemini answered Thursday August 4 2005, 5:28 pm: i've been using proactiv for more than half a year, and it's pretty good. it took me like 1 to 2 weeks or so to notice that my skin was feeling more smooth, and that most of my black heads were gone, and my zits were reducing in number in size, but i think it took a month of using proactiv for my skin in completely clear up. I still get like a pimple every now and then, but I use spot treatments to get rid of it. proacitv works great for some people, ok for others(like me), and doesnt work at all for some people. my friend also used proactiv but she says that it didnt help her at all, and now she's using clearsil.
proactiv doesnt work for some people, and since you just got it for the first time, if you dont like it, you can return it after you've used it for 30 days, and they'll give you your money back
Karen answered Thursday August 4 2005, 12:59 pm: Usually after about a week or two, you'll see results that it is infact working. Not everyone that uses Proactiv will see results fast. When I used it about a year ago, I saw results after a week and a half and if you use it correctly, you'll see better results. [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
dw33bi3 answered Thursday August 4 2005, 12:53 pm: ok well proactiv works depending on how often you use it and how bad your acne is. If you have bad acne use it everyday...not too much so it lasts though...but if you have ok skin then use it every other day and on the odd days you can use another face cleaner (anything cheap just so its clean) hope my info helps ya!
Xo_Ashie_oX answered Thursday August 4 2005, 12:40 pm: okay well it took about a week and a half to two weeks... read the instructions though.. do it twice a day (like it says) and you should be great... your skin will look awesome in no time!! promise! =D [ Xo_Ashie_oX's advice column | Ask Xo_Ashie_oX A Question ]
xoredsoxnation9 answered Thursday August 4 2005, 7:26 am: proactive will start to work very shortly, 1-2 weeks max.

Hope i helped<3 [ xoredsoxnation9's advice column | Ask xoredsoxnation9 A Question ]
