A couple of weeks ago, I posted about how I started using Proactiv for my acne. At the time, I wasn’t sure if this would actually work for me…in fact, it appeared to be making my skin WORSE for a bit.

But now, I’m happy to tell you that it IS working for me…very well. One day, when my skin was still very red, I was going out so I covered it with makeup. I use the Bare Minerals makeup, that stuff covers a multitude of flaws. That night, when I washed the makeup off (with the Proactive cleanser), I was astonished to see that not only was the redness gone, but also about 75% of my zits! I couldn’t believe it…my skin had not looked that good in eons!

Now that my skin is getting used to the product, I’m working back up to using the system twice a day rather than just once. My skin is not completely cleared up yet, but it’s getting there.

I went onto the Proactiv website today to change my auto-ship options….decided to add the Refining Mask to my bi-monthly shipments. It came for free with my initial order, and I like it enough to want to use it regularly.

I also ordered, as a one-time shipment, this cute little travel kit, so I don’t have to lug full-sized products when I go away for a weekend or whatever.  It has other products besides the four that I’m using now, but this will be a good opportunity to try their moisturizers and other stuff, to see how well they work.
This system may not work for everyone, but I’m thrilled that it is working for me! :D
