Does Proactive Acne Cream Really Work For Everyone?

no comments
by    in How Good Is It,Proactive Acne Cream

Proactive Acne Cream has become one of the best selling acne treatments in the United States and across the world. With endorsement from celebrities like Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Vanessa Williams, it has become the acne treatment of choice for the celebrity A list, but where it differs from other skincare treatments with celebrity endorsement, is that its history is firmly rooted in medical science.

Proactive acne cream was first formulated by 2 qualified doctors; in 1995 Dr’s Kathy Fields and Katie Rodan, both Stanford University trained dermatologists, realized that there was a strong need to improve on the acne treatments that were available and set out to develop a complete system for treating acne. Their system is called Proactiv because the whole ethos behind the treatment is based on treating any existing acne and than continuing to treat the healthy skin after the acne has gone – proactive treatment.

Proactive treatment succeeds by working on the entire face rather than just targeting isolated spots or areas of acne. The treatment is a combination of steps which uses several different ingredients to first treat the acne and then prevent further breakouts. The proactive acne solution uses a 3-step approach; the first step is a mild renewing cleanser, the second is a revitalizing toner, and finally a repairing lotion.

The most difficult aspect of reading reviews about Proactive acne cream or any other acne treatment is you will only get another persons experience of how it worked for them. Generally speaking this means you will read lots of reviews stating how good the cream is and well it worked for the reviewer – it’s very difficult to be objective about an acne treatment however well it worked, if it worked great the review will be wonderful, if it didn’t work well the review will be bad. The important thing to understand is that it can only be an opinion.

Will Proactive work for everyone reading this? No.

Will it work for the majority of people reading this? Yes, but to varying degrees.

You see no medication will work the same for everyone, and Proactive is no different. It will work well for most people, but the only way to find out how well it will work for you is to try it for yourself. If it doesn’t work, send the bottles back and take advantage of their money back guarantee – what have you got to lose?

Acne Blackhead Treatment – What Will Work And What Won’t

no comments
by    in Blackhead Treatments,Proactive Acne Cream

One of the worst aspects of acne for many people is blackheads, and finding an effective solution to how to get rids of blackheads or a blackhead treatment is difficult to say the least. There are so many products on the market that ‘claim’ to get rid of your blackheads, that knowing where to start your search for a blackhead treatment that really works can be very frustrating.

You can get blackheads or comedones as they’re known to the medical profession, just about anywhere you can get acne, and the temptation to squeeze them out is as strong as your urge to squeeze any of your acne spots. The same advice holds true for blackheads as it does for most things in life, and that is, try to resist temptation if you really want to get rid of blackheads!

What Blackhead Treatments Work And What Don’t?

Blackhead extractors are small tools that look like large sewing needles with a hole in one end; the idea is to place the hole over the blackhead and use pressure to persuade the blackhead to pop out – Do they work? On a few occasions yes, but for the majority of time they will just damage and irritate your skin. If you do decide to buy one, make sure you buy a good quality tool (even the good quality tools are not expensive), as most of the tools for sale today have been poorly made out in the far east and are useless.

If you are tempted to buy one of the vacuum devices on the market that will ‘suck out’ your blackheads…..DON’T – they are a total waste of money and will not work.

I wish I could give you the name of a tool, a cream or a gel that will be the magic solution to how to get rid of blackheads, but I can’t – one doesn’t exist. I know you will probably try the things I’ve said don’t work, that’s understandable, we’re human and when we get desperate for a solution to a problem, we are prepared to try anything. Once you have tried them and you are ready, read on for the only practical advice I can give you.

You probably already have the cream you need to treat blackheads in your medicines cabinet already. Any acne medication with Benzoyl Peroxide in it will do (proactive acne cream is one of them, you might also be interested in does proactive work?), if you don’t have any, it’s not too expensive – you can get it from a pharmacy and just plain old Benzoyl Peroxide will do for getting rid of blackhead quickly.

Cleanse your skin as normal, and massage a small quantity of Benzoyl Peroxide in to your pimples. Do this twice a day and you will see your blackheads start to go over time; I can’t give you a better time frame than that because we’re all different and we respond to treatments differently but this treatment option would be more safe than the ones suggested on this how to get rid of acne overnight page which might be useful to you but keep in mind quick does not guarantee safe!

It’s not rocket science I know, but it is the best blackhead treatment we have available to us at the moment. You can try all the rest, but when they fail, try to remember this advice.

Celebrities Using Proactive Acne Cream – Is It All Hype?

no comments
by    in Proactive Acne Cream

There is no doubt that if you can get celebrity endorsement for your product nowadays, it will only benefit your bottom line. It seems we will buy almost anything if a famous person tells us that they use a product and they like what the product does.

The folks at Proactiv are no different, they know that we will listen to their line-up of beautiful, successful celebrities with acne who are happy to say that Proactiv is the best thing they have ever used to treat their acne, and it has transformed their lives forever. But how much of this is hype and how much should we believe?

At present, Proactive have nine celebrities on their website who tell a story about how proactive acne cream has benefited their acne. Let’s take a quick look at some of these stories and see if we can spot a theme:

1. Jessica Simpson – uses proactive acne cream

Jessica Simpson has been using the proactive acne solution for around 6 years. She started using proactive solution because she has always had breakouts and after becoming famous she says her fans were sometimes shocked when they met her in real life and saw that her skin wasn’t as ‘perfect’ as it appeared to be from re-touched magazine photographs.

Stress made her breakouts worse and on the recommendation of one of her dancers she started using Proactiv and has been using it daily ever since.

2. Vanessa Williams – uses proactive acne cream

The gorgeous Vanessa Williams started using Proactive in her thirties – it wasn’t available when she started with acne in her teens, after finding it for her teenage daughter. Like Jessica, Vanessa says she has been using the treatment daily for the past 6 years and it has made her skin smooth & clear, and boosted her confidence greatly.

Vanessa now recommends the treatment to her brother and babysitter amongst others.

3. Melissa Claire Egan – uses proactive acne cream

Actress Melissa Claire Egan was first given Proactiv by her mom, that was 7 years ago, and her daily use has given her clean, clear skin.

As a college student, Melissa Claire hated any pictures that were taken of her and says that they ruined the memories of the awesome times she had at college. After landing the part on ‘All My Children’, she tried many treatments without any success.

4. Ryan Sheckler

Ryan is a skateboard champ and constantly in the public eye – he’s a very determined individual. Getting acne made him self-conscious as it does many others, and for a guy who spends a lot of time over his appearance it was a real body-blow. Ryan started using Proactive because many of his friends were using it too.

To him it’s a big deal keeping his skin clear, and using Proactive regularly has allowed him to keep his skin clear and given him back his confidence.

The other celebrities featured on the Proactiv website are:

Jennifer Love Hewitt
Serena Williams
Chrishell Stause
Jennifer Berry
Kevin Kasper

I won’t bore you with all their stories, you can read all on The Proactiv website if you want, but can you see a common theme running through the 4 stories I have repeated?

That’s right, they all use their acne treatment on a daily basis. Is it all hype? Probably not because if you have read my other articles on this site, you will know that this is the hardest part of using Proactive acne cream or any other acne medication for that matter – if you follow the instructions and use your medication all the time you WILL get results.

Proactive Acne Cream Free Trial

2 comments
by    in Acne,Acne Medication,Free Trial,Proactive Acne Cream

Most medication, including Proactive acne cream, bought or prescribed in the Western world is wasted. I say that not because it is dispensed for the wrong conditions, but because we, the patients, either don’t take the medication at all or we only part-complete the course and end up throwing the rest away.

So the proactive acne cream free trial makes good business sense for the guys at Proactive…….It means they are sharing the risk with you.

Now I probably don’t need to tell you that medicines are expensive – Proactive Acne treatment for example is as much as $60 a shot, so…..

…Why would we end up wasting more drugs than we use?

There are a number of reasons that a patient would take the time, and spend the money, to go and see his/her doctor and then not take their medicine as prescribed, it is a very complicated area and is much investigated by researchers – the main reason seems to be tied up in the doctor/patient relationship.

What is more interesting for us to look at today is why we never seem to finish a course of medication, and there seems to be a number of reasons for this. To start with, we tend to visit our doctors when we are suffering. Sometimes we know something is wrong, but in general we only make an appointment to see a doctor when the ailment or condition discomforts us in some way – a good example of this is high blood pressure, it’s an asymptomatic condition which requires daily medication, but we have a bad tendency to forget to take our pills simply because we don’t feel ill.

In these circumstances we will treat our condition until the discomfort goes away and then stop, even if we haven’t finished all the medication we’ve been given. The same is true for acne. I’ve mentioned in a number of articles that you need to treat your acne every day if you want to (i) Control your acne (ii) Manage your acne long-term and prevent it coming back.

The other main reason patients give for not finishing their acne treatment is that the acne treatment they have chosen or been prescribed just isn’t working. This can cause some concern for health care professionals if enough time hasn’t been given for the treatment to work, but if the patient has used their acne cream for 4 – 6 weeks with little response then it is probably time for a change.

As I’ve said in previous articles, Proactive Acne Solution will not treat everyone successfully, no medication will. If you’ve just spent $40 – $60 on an acne treatment and it isn’t working you are rightly going to feel a little hacked off.

The guys at Proactive Solutions have given this issue a lot thought and have introduced a money-back guarantee if you decide that their proactive acne treatment isn’t for you. If you’ve tried their creams for 60 days and you are in any way unhappy with the outcome, all you need do is send back the bottle (even if they’re empty) with your original receipt and ask for a full refund – In effect a free trial, so what have you got to lose?
