Does ProActiv Solution Really Work?

My skin isn’t flawless.

Well, that’s the best sugarcoating that I can come up with to describe my skin. I have the nastiest skin in the universe. It pumps more oil than any country in the Middle East. It is as persistent as Richard Gomez shoving himself into politics. It is my one and only source of insecurities. God, I hate it. Especially during summer. In cold weather it’s tamed but it goes on a breakout spree when the sun is hotter than my hubby. (Wow, that rhymed.)

Seriously, it is just nasty. In fact, I visit a dermatologist regularly and take isotretinoin (oral meds) every day but it only makes my skin less nasty. Quite but not quite. And mind you, both are pricey!

They blame genetics for my skin but hey, I blamed my dad enough already for so many things so I won’t pin this on him, too. I mean, come on, he’s dead. Rest in peace. I just wish I could say the same for my pimples.

There’s still one hope, though. One of my colleagues approached me and handed me a ProActiv Solution 30-day trial kit.

Oh yeah, if you’re one of those people who watch home TV shopping when your variety shows fail you, this surely rings a bell. I’ve always seen this on TV but I have seen the TV ad as many times as I ignored them. But maybe I should give it a try. Hell, with this skin, there really isn’t much to lose. LOL.

So I’m making this 30-day trial of ProActiv Solution my personal project. For 30 days:

  • I will snub my dermatologist.
  • I will stop taking isotane
  • I will stop using other skin-care products that I’m currently using.

Challenging, huh? This should be interesting. Let’s see if this could fix this:

If it’s effective, then I absolutely will recommend this to everyone out there who is in the same dermatological shit that I am in. If it works for me then it might work for you, too!

My 30 day challenge starts now.

    just bought ProActiv a few days ago, and yes, its working. not sure about the flawless chuva it advertises but as long as it lessens my acne-i’m good.

    try having antibiotics with it-go to your GP for recommendation.

    hmm. in time, your sebaceous gland (the one that produces oil) will eventually get tired. that’s why as you grow older, theoretically, breakouts occur less often. err, so patience? lol. btw, i hate zits too (hmm, who doesn’t?) haha

    Proactiv worked for me. I hope it’ll work for you too. :)

    Medyo pricey nga lang if you buy it here in Pinas kasi it’s exclusive sa Watson’s. I ask my friends from the US to bring me at least 2 boxes pag umuuwi sila. Hehe.

    Worked for me big time, sir.

    Though sa ate ko, it worked for her for a couple of years then there’s this one time na she had an allergic reaction on it. So she stopped using it. But it’s a rare case, I think.

I've been very unhappy lately. (But don't worry Shy Guy fans, it's not lovelife-related, hehe. That aspect of my life is perfect.) One of the reasons is that my sister was diagnosed with a certain growth in her liver. I'm reminded of the time my dad experienced the same thing until his liver finally took a toll on him. And ...
