I never got acne, never as a teenager or any other time. Didnt matter if slept in my make-up, sweated all day...never had a problem.

Until about 2 years ago. Then all of the sudden I started breaking out, I tried EVERYTHING...and believe me when I say everything I mean I tried it all. There wasnt one single over the counter med I havent tried. I went to doctor after doctor. I tried Differin, Retin-A, Obagi products..even had a chemical peel. I saw an infomercial on tv about Proavtive Solution and my husband told me to try it. Ive been using it for about 1 1/2 months now and it has really really helped me. I noticed a difference after a few days. I still broke out a little but it was different, they came to a head almost overnight and went away quickly. Now I hardly ever break out. Once in a while Ill get one but like I said, nothing like before and they go away very quickly. My skin is alot clearer and not breaking out all the time has allowed my skin to start healing and smooth out. I dont know if it will work the same for everyone, but it has me and weighing the depression and anger I felt everytime I looked in the mirror against the 39.95 it cost me to try it...it was well worth it.

On another note...if you arent able to afford it now...something I used before this to bring them to a head quickly (its a pain in the butt and time consuming, but it worked) was I would take Epsom salt and mix just enough Hydrogen Peroxide in it to make it "wet and kinda clumpy" and I would put it on a tiny piece of gauze (just big enough to cover the zit) and taped it to my face with the breathable type of gauze tape (make sure to seal all edges and top too) and left it on overnight and it draws it to a head. I know this may sound silly and extreme, but those of you that suffer from these breakouts know it feels. You'll try anything...just like I did.

Good Luck :o)
