proactive and clinique
15/f. has anybody (ages 13-18) have used Proactive? I'd like to here your opinions on it, good or bad. my mom is considering getting it for me if it is good. i've heard that it clears up you acne really well, but it is really drying. so i'm thinking of using proactive along with another oil free lotion.
has anybody (again ages 13-18) used the Clinique acne products? i was looking for like a good acne regiman using the clinique products if the proactive stuff doesn't look too good. i know that clinique has 3-step programs...but i was looking for a 3-step program specially made for acne. i took the quiz thing on clinique and i'm a skin type III is that helps at all.
thanks so much you guys! this will really help me out.

I used Proactive *cant afford it anymore*
It is really good. In about 3 days you can see the difference.. I had mild acne then. Supposedly in 2 weeks.. you should see the full effect of it, if not.. then it's to a month.
You should continue using it because once you get off.. the acne comes back... sometimes even worse than you already had.
Proactive usually works for everyone, but if it decides to go against you.
Then don't use any products and use a restoring moisturizer/lotion a few times before using anything with "benzonic acid" in it.
I think it's benzonic.. well, it's something with a B and its usually on the front of products...
*Salicylic acid is good.

Yeah i use proactive right now (15/f) and it is alright...it did get rid of like 95% of my acne, but i still have little teeny blackheads on my nose if you get right up close. it is drying, so i only use it once a day....it has however worked better than other acne products so i continue to use it, but i would like to find one thats better.

I used clinique all through middle school and the early portion of high school. I'm super lazy so I barely ever used it, only when it got really bad because I never cared what I looked like.
when I did use it it worked really well. I don't remember what I used, but all that stuff is different on everyone. clinique is probably a lot less expensive as well. also, now I've been using avon products every other day with clinique stuff and I have to use less and less. your skin won't rely on it like it will with proactive and you can wean yourself off of it when your hormones stabilize to the point where you don't get acne. then again, I can count the number of times I've worn make-up and that's also a factor.

Im 13/f
Ive used proactive and I love it. It does wonders it really does wonders. At first your face may get worse depending on how clogged your pores are because its clean them out and then it starts working magic and your face clears up. Once your acne is gone, dont stop using proactive, you can limit the use to mornings only or so but if you completly stop using it, it comes back really fast on you and you dont even notice till one morning you have every constilation ever named.
Also. Proactive comes with a lil tube of lotion, you may want to use that till your acne clears up and then consider using the oil free lotion
For me it cameback pretty bad. But we all have different skin. Depending on the sports you play, how much you sweat and how much make up you wear will all determine how its going to come back on you. But be safe, dont stop using it.
