Proactiv Solution Acne Treatment — 

I have had poor skin for about 10 years.  I have tried antibiotics, micro dermabrasions, chemical peels, every single over the counter and on the shelf topical treatments and nothing has worked for me.  Someone suggested I give Proactive a try so I figured nothing else has worked this couldn't possibly hurt to try. WRONG! Proactive made my skin worse than it had ever been. I usually suffer from blackheads and whiteheats and red blotchy skin, well after using this I had cystic acne. The most painful large and deep pimples ever.  It was to the point where looking in the mirror made me cry.  I went into my Doctor and he said to discontinue the use because it will actually kill my skin (which it had already bleached).  He prescribed accutane to me, which has only begun to undo the damage procative has created on my face.  I'm very pleased with the accutane and don't have hardly any side effects from it.  Cancelling my pro active order has been a nightmare, they just keep sending me the shit.  If anyone knows how to make them discontinue it could you please send me some details that would be great.  They keep giving me a 1 800 number that doesn't take me anywhere, I never gave them permission to take more the one order off my Credit Card. 

They are scam artisits those commercials are such a load of crap, I'm suprised those two dermatoligts can sleep at night.

It burns!! I so do not recommend this product to anyone unless they themselves wish to try it. But it did not work for my brother and me.
