has anyone has success with Proactiv? My teen has what I'd call "pimples" but she insists it is "acne". I told her to Google acne photos and tell me if that's what she really has....and yes, it's just pimples. Anyway....she wants me to buy some Proactiv for her but the price is putting me off. I keep telling her, pimples are just a part of maturing, and not much can really be done about them until your body is done with puberty. When I was a teen, I suffered as everyone else I knew did. There were no miracle cures back then. But I'd love to hear form anyone who has tried Proactiv.
I tried it and hated it.  I have oily skin the way it is, but Proactiv would literally cause me to have pools of oil next to my nose, on my forehead, and between my lip and chin.  I'd have to blot with a brown paper towel every hour and there'd still be a ton sucked up.  Maybe try looking into Skin ID from Neutrogena- when I was doing it a kit would last me about three months, and you change how often you want it delivered.
