I saw those pro active adds with the celebrities such as Jessica Simpson, Kelly Clarkson and P Diddy and thought this must be the cure that i have been looking for. I paid the overly expensive fee and then anxiously waited for the package of pro active to arrive. I expected it to take a few weeks to start working but after those weeks were up i was dissapointed. My acne had got a little bit better, but my skin which had never been oily, was so oily people were calling me a "mirror" . I was taking it light heartedly though and thought it would be a minor occurence when taking Pro Active. It wasn't like i was washing my face with it 8 times a day which could explain it, i was washing my face the advised two times a day. After a period of time using pro active my acne did clear up but the oilyness of my face was terrible, and it got to a point where i didn't even care about the acne, i was more concerned with my face not being so oily. So this is not one of those pro active success stories which im sure you have heard over a million times now. When pro active wasn't working for me i use to watch the pro active commercials and get really depressed. I guess my acne made me depressed, but so did a lot of other things not concerning my skin. Acne also caused anxiety in me, i kept wondering what will my face look like tomorrow at school, and it stopped me from sleeping well. This pro active story is very unique, pro active works for most people so give it a try. Don't get so worked up about your acne either, it might stop you from getting anxiety and depression like it caused me.
