No my skin is clearer than ever. I also avoid dairy (which keeps those chin pimple things all of us girls seem to get away) and don't use commercial cleansers on my face.. just some baking soda, which hazel, etc. Don't use lotions, just olive oil... it is the best moisturizer I've ever used!

I don't use proactive like it says too. I only use it every other day and only once a day. It's how I keep from spending so much for it. So my skin isn't as used to it as some others might be. And I did go off it for a while and my skin didn't get too bad. So maybe every one is different.

Ugh yes! It *****.  I am too old for acne! I would check with your doc before staring proactiv though. Some would say not safe to start a new medication while pregnant.   I used to use proactiv years ago for some minor acne and while i liked it when i quit using it my skin got horrible. It got used to the chemicals and went through some proactiv withdrawl it seemed. This too shall pass!

Every part of my body except for my feet and hands are covered by pimples!  I feel so gross.  Nothing has helped.

I haven't tried it, I'm willing to try anything.  I have always had good skin and it's horrible now!

I haven't had really bad break outs, but I do use proactive. So that could be why.  Have you tried that?
