Which is better: Proactiv or AcneFree?

Never tried ProActive, but I've used Acne Free for over a year now and it's GREAT!  It claims it's about the same stuff as ProActive, and it's a LOT cheaper.  Since I started using it I almost never break out, and that's a miracle.

I use pro-activ every day and it is the only product that takes away my acne-it is amazing!I am 24 and still had the skin of a teen-now I rarely get a breakout and if I do they are very small.Give it 2 weeks and you will notice a big difference!

Proactive is no different than the products you can buy over the counter; what you are buying is a ROUTINE... they send you instructions and all.  If you want, but Proactive for 1 month and then switch to over-the-counter products and save yourself lots of money.\n\nYes it improves acne.  Side-effects include skin dryness while your skin adjusts.

I have had acne my whole life, treated with everything including accutane, with all the dry itchiness you are describing. i am 32 now.  go immediately to www.acne.org.  the advice and lists here are unbelievable.  i ordered the 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel.  it is much milder than any bp that you can get in the store.  neutrogena onthe spot is 2.5% but still made my face SO dry and itchy, made me touch my face more.  If you buy it you will not be disappointed.    I would skip the cocoa butter (as most formulas will clog the pores).  I use nothing on my body that doesn't say "non-comeodegenic".  This means it won't clog pores.  Be careful with all products b/c they will get on your face even if you think they won't.

Yes! Proactiv is the only over-the-counter acne medication that has ever worked for me. I noticed a difference after just a few days!

I had BAD acne.  Mostly stress and poor diet caused it.  I called and got the $20 "sample starter kit" off the infomercial because nothing else was really working.  My acne cleared up in less than a month!!!  The only time I get break-outs now is if I stop using the Proactiv.  That is sorta bad because you have to keep using it or you'll be back in the same boat.  By the way, I'm not a teenager - I'm 31 years old.  I didn't have acne as a teen.  If you don't want the "subscription" where they send it to you every month, you can buy it off of eBay, too.

proactive and cleaning your face daliy

firstly - i used proactive but went for a facial and found out that it's actually really bad for your skin due to the 'beads' in the face wash.  they scratch your skin surface and cause little tears all over your face that you can't see.  \n\ni now use clinique.  it's a little more expensive than proactive but not much.  and it's specifically made for people under 30.  it's sold at all 'fine department stores' lol.  ie macy's, jcpenny etc.  and they usually have pretty good specials so just shop around.  go to the clinique counter and ask them to do a skin analysis (free) and they'll reccomend the best products for you.  they will also try to sell you stuff you don't really need so be careful.  i think all you really need is the soap, toner, moisturizer and if you wear a lot of make up...they're foaming make up remover is awesome.

There are so many products out there now for acne, I don't how to chose. I'm 35 and still have problems with acne. If your serious about them, you are going to have to spend some money. The best thing is to go to a dermatologist. I use a product called Glytone. It's an exfoliate with acne fighters in it. It's pretty expensive too, but it's worth it.

The best thing you can do for your acne that i have tried is Proactiv. I have tried everything under the sun and that was the only non prescription solution that worked for me.\nBut be careful because some people have bad reaction to benzol peroxide.

Don't use clearesil it is not a good product. If you go to a dermatoligist they will tell you that. It strips the body of its protective skin layer which protects us from things like bacteria. So really when you first use clearisil you will see improvement and then it will all go bad and your skin will get worse. If you really want to get rid of your acne use a brand called Murad it has a whole range of products from sensitive skin to acne skin. Also you should book an appointment with a dermatoligist. And you should request treatments like stevia, gycolic acid, microdermabresion and etc.

Neutrogena makes a body wash with salicylic acid that will help clear them up.  You might also want to use a loofah or another type of sponge to help exfoliate and help fresher skin emerge.  If money is not a problem, Proactiv is wonderful (I use their face products) and I know they make a wash and lotion just for acne on the body.  Good Luck.

I tried it for a week on a cruise..and well no acne product actually works. those ppl on t.v..duh they're wearing makeup. i mean its a better price than for proactive,  but for me it didn't really work. I use Murad, and to be honest, I've learned not to rely on acne products, because that itself can't get rid of acne. you have to eat right, drink lotsa water, etc,etc.But my skin's really oily, and i live in a hot climate, and the cruise was in a hot climate too, so that may have also added to Acne  Free not working for me. You know, if you're broke, and only have like $2, you could go to your dollar store and get a 7-day trial pack for a dollar(not including tax). that way, you can see for yourself, and if it works for you. THEN, you can decide whether or not to spend the full $20.00 (full price), instead of buying it, not having it work for you, and spending all  that moolah for nothing. have a happy thanksgiving!

One of the best products is Proactiv. Yes, you've probably seen it on on TV, but believe it or not, it works. I still use to this day. And its a simple formula. \n\n1. You use the face wash to unclog your pores.\n2. You use the cleaner to remove the excess skin which clogs pores which in turn cause pimples.\n3. You use the special medicated lotion to heal and smooth out the skin, and to prevent pimples. \n\nPlus the great part, you can use it on your face, neck.. etc..

PROACTIVE is the best acne treatment ever. A easy way to cover acne flair ups or scars is to get a green  tinted concealer. (Green neutralizes the red).
