As you may have read in the comments, Martha, our cases are varied. Some have used the same product and it worked on them, and some have undergone treatments and the result was the same. There are even those who go to cosmetic surgeons to have their skin problem fixed. That's pretty common here in San Francisco. Have you ever considered having that dilemma treated by a professional, Martha?Jack Sebastianhttp://www.plasticsurgery1.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032708665391176488.post-29229157559800659312009-06-15T22:52:41.222-05:002009-06-15T22:52:41.222-05:00Your skin looked great after that!

I can use almost anything on my face, but something I've been very impressed with lately is my microfiber washcloth. It removes makeup like you wouldn't believe and the microfibers are really supposed to clean out your pores. You can buy a spendy Norwex cloth or just go to Target or the Dollar store and find a cheaper alternative. In Target, you have to look in the car section. I use them for eveyrthing now, including cleaning the house.

My problem is that I have generally good skin and then I get one pimple and it's awful and gigantic and then it scars really bad. And the pores, oh the pores! I've been doing what Michelle mentioned for a while. I had also read it on acne.org and gotten out of the habit. It seems to work ok - and maybe there just isn't anything out there that is going to bring back the youthful glow I want. Dangit. <BR/><BR/>I'm getting closer to Bare Minerals though... but it is so hard for me to make decisions. I'm bad that way. <BR/><BR/>Now I'm rambling... what's new?

I'm 29 but I've had mild skin problems forever (too mild for heavy medicine, but bad enough I need something), and Proactive really is the only thing that works. BUt you're right; You can't stop using it!! I am often overseas and obviously they won't ship it overseas, so I have my mom send it to me. However, often there is a large gap between when I run out and when I receive my new shipment so my skin always takes a turn for the worse. <BR/><BR/>It's not even pimples so much as it is a rough and blotchy complexion. Anyway, thanks for the tipe on where to find Proactive outside of mail orders!

Salicylic acid works better for me, I use an Aveno product for breakouts. At night I wash my face with Nutragena Pore Refining cleanser...I'm trying to find something to help with my crater sized pores. Does this really help? Who knows. I use Nutragena sunscreen everyday...the kind with HELIOPLEX. This is FANTASTIC! The lightest weight sunscreen I have ever tried. I want to give Martha's make-up a try, right now I use a Clinique foundation. I have rosacea so my cheeks are VERY red and splotchy, I hate going out with no make-up because it looks like I am terribly broken out when it is really just the red skin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032708665391176488.post-14601618850921552022008-05-25T11:28:00.000-05:002008-05-25T11:28:00.000-05:00Oh you are singing my song.

Apparently, all those years when I was using benzoyl peroxide I should have tried salicylic acid. Daughter #1 was using Pro-Activ for quite awhile (and I've got the bleached towels to prove it) but has found that something a little gentler (neutrogena's b.p. line) works better for her. Daughter #2 seems to take after me and salicylic acid works better for *her. I will say that all 3 of us have found that even a *touch of the mineral makeup makes us break out. Just saying...

It's the fluctuating/ raging hormones. I have never had bad skin, but have always had those larger than life pores that small cars could get lost in. I have never worn much makeup, but never used product either. Recently I started using the Target cleansing cloth thingies at night, washing with an abrasive sponge in the AM and using Olay Mature Therapy. I think I am looking pretty good.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17228344764544525919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032708665391176488.post-14022207929950594492008-05-23T14:13:00.000-05:002008-05-23T14:13:00.000-05:00Margaret, I just want to tell you that you are a t...Margaret, I just want to tell you that you are a total hoot!

Now, like a junkie ( I know you can relate) I have to buy it where ever and when ever I find it (Ebay). So, dont be discouraged, you will wake up one day and the acne will be gone forever.

I made it through high school relatively unscathed, but I acquired acne along with my thyroid disorder--a lovely 2-for-1 deal, if you will. So I know mine is <I>totally</I> hormonal. I use 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel from acne.org, first washing with Cetaphil, and finishing with Purpose moisturizer over the bp gel. It's okay, if I use it twice a day. But sometimes it's not. Yesterday, my massage therapist was telling me how miraculously Proactiv worked for her daughter. So I might take it as a sign and get me some skin crack. Then maybe in a few years, when I'm ready to try to come off the Proactiv, we can go through skin product rehab together!
