Anyone with Acne Problems Read This!

PRO-ACTIVE.....it works. For years I've seen posts on this board of people with acne problems, and I see people mention everything from vitamin B-5 to the new favorite "Acutane." Acutane is a harsh treatment, usually prescribed for people with major acne problems. Good thing some of you guys aren't doctors. I don't think I've ever once seen anyone mention Pro Active on this board. The shit literally changed my freakin life. NOTHING else has come close. At my age, I shouldn't be breaking out at all, but I think we all know why it's still happening. Just thought I would mention this, since it seems nobody is going to. Keep it simple guys. So many GD extremists on this board.

I'm glad it worked for you but it did nothing for me. I tried it, B-5 at rediculous amounts, tanning bed, and topicals. Went to my derm and tried tetracycline, minocycline, dynacin, septra, all to no avail. Accutane worked like nothing else. You're right though, people w/ acne should try other alternatives before jumping on accutane. But man does that stuff work.

Thanks for the info dear Watson, I have a touch myself at 47, I just try and keep my face clean and use OTC products. Nice to know that if it persists, there's something else to try.

accutane is the shit.... but its harsh. I took it 10 years ago when I was 12, lol had to get blood work done every month. But it's the the answer if you have bad acne. I didn't see a pimple again till I did my first cycle a few months ago.

Accutane is about the only thing that worked for a few clients of mine - they had bad acne. IMO, proper face care should take care of a lot of skin issues.

Proactive didnt work at all for me. Accutane is the only thing that has cleared me up completely.

If the problem is from overactivity of the sebacious glands from excess androgens, skin cleanliness will do little good...

I get bacne, and never use a chemical to clear it. I just go to the beach, get a good sun burn, you know when you get red and your skin peel off a week later, and at the same time the backne dissapear. Works for me. Goes away and never come back. Well, until next cycle..

Pro-active worked great for me too bro, but now my shoulders are starting to break out and I'm gonna find out what it can do for that.

What would you suggest if that's the case? Anything natural?
