-- Posted by DrummerOfTheFuture at 7:33 pm on Dec. 7, 2008 my acne is kinda bad, not awful, but bad. and i have tried everything but Proactiv. is it any good? -- Posted by HuffleHaire at 7:34 pm on Dec. 7, 2008 It didn't work for me. -- Posted by Cyanotype at 7:34 pm on Dec. 7, 2008 It's okay, didn't really change much. -- Posted by ReturnOfPatches at 7:34 pm on Dec. 7, 2008 honestly, I was using Proactiv for years which barely minimized it. Then I used Oxy pads and the acne cleared up and stayed that way. Proactiv just consumes time and money. -- Posted by Shibs at 7:35 pm on Dec. 7, 2008 It made it worse, actually. They said it had to make it worse before it got better. But I used it for MONTHS. -- Posted by Romesds at 7:35 pm on Dec. 7, 2008 my doctor prescribed something called deferin and it worked relay well ask your doctor -- Posted by whips handcuffs at 7:38 pm on Dec. 7, 2008 Quote: from Romesds at 7:35 pm on Dec. 7, 2008 my doctor prescribed something called deferin and it worked relay well ask your doctor i've used differin and proactiv. neither of them were amazing for me. i have really bad genetics for skin, which you might too  ? but the only thing i've found is too wash it twice everyday, moisturize everyday, and exfoliate once a week. not perfect, but it's okay. -- Posted by drifting at 7:45 pm on Dec. 7, 2008 Ask your doctor for some prescription shit. Thats about the only thing that has ever seriously helped for me. I mean, I was my face with Proactive and things like that, and that helps some, but its not great. -- Posted by Themakingofagod at 7:46 pm on Dec. 7, 2008 I don't know a single person who did like it.  The only thing that actually helped me with my acne was to religiously wash my face with soap and water, exercise, and change my diet.  Speaking of which, I need to start keeping up on it again.
