    Swelling with proactiv solution
    I qouls suggest not putting Proactiv anywhere near your eyes and see if you stillhave the swelling problem. If you do then get off Proactiv.

    THe best thing to do is see a dermotologist.

    There are many skin products out there for acne. For superficial acne you might try using a cleanser a couple of times a day that contains salicylic acid. THese can be purchased over the counter. For bad outbreaks you will find that expsoure to the sun is good for clearing you up but there are serious long-term health consequences to sun exposure.

    For more serious acne with large deep pockets you probably need to go on some ort of antibiotic therapy in which case you definitely need to see a doctor.

    Re: swelling with proactiv solution
    Hello

    Sorry but I want to ask a silly questions regarding your use with proactiv solution. Are you a black female using the product. If so (or even if not) when you made a change the 1st time from proactiv (did it work for african american skin? I guess is my question) even thought there is a problem with swelling around the eye area for you, did the product work like it indicates?

    New Natural Supplement Discovery for Acne
    There is a new discovery, Original Limu (www.limunight.originallimu.com). I believe all the trouble people are going through can be a thing of the past.

    My sons (15 and 16 years old) have seen substantial relief from aggressive acne with Original Limu.

    And, once scarring has occurred, I personally have witnessed a woman in her mid-forties reverse her adolescent scarring with Original Limu.

    Just about everyone who consumes Original Limu gets a glow and a moisturizing of their skin. Their skin progressively gets smoother and smoother. Wrinkles fade away or become less pronounced. Even I look a lot younger at almost 60 years of age.

    Now to me, this is the way to go. A natural product beats surgery or topical or subdermal treatments any day! And, the cost is nothing in comparison and there is no need for wasting time with a physician.

    There are a growing number of wannabe companies but the only potent and reliable source of the Limu Moui extract is Original Limu (www.limunight.originallimu.com), because of the exclusive rights to the proprietary non-chemical extraction process that took over 15 years to develop and optimize.

    The key component in the extract is fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide or, for the Brits, a sulphated polysaccharide. This material is garnering an intense following as noted in the National Library of Medicine database at the website, www.pubmed.gov. Several items of interest to be found relating to scarring turn up by searching for the words, fucoidan and scarring and fucoidan and derm*.

    My Ph.D. degree in organic chemistry made me very skeptical. I was even a scoffer. I have become a believer. Now, I am so pleased that I can share such great news. Of course, everyone is different and may respond differently. I am no physician. I cannot treat, cure, diagnose or prescribe. What I can do is tell you my own personal experiencing and first-hand witnessings.

    The way the extract works is by providing the body with the nutrients necessary to heal itself. It is a very different approach from medicine that tries to treat the symptom regardless of the side-effects of the medication. The Limu Moui extract is not a medication, simply an incredibly beneficial food. It helps the body heal itself. Cuts and abrasions I get now heal in half the usual time.

    It was a slow, almost unperceivable transformation for the mid-40's woman, but, over a period of six months and continuing today, this otherwise perfectly healthy and active woman's face became a new and glowing almost totally scar-free face. I have plenty of witnesses and the woman herself to share with you.

    The extract is simply drunk at the usually sufficient levels of an ounce in the morning and an ounce at night, I think it best with food. It can also be applied topically.

    I cannot end without telling you that this new discovery has impacted people I personally know in a number of other spectacular ways that I have seen and heard according to their testimonies. I have a friend with multiple sclerosis who could hardly get around on a cane she was so imbalanced. Now she is so thankful that she tried the Limu Moui extract where she has turned down so many other suggestions. She has her balance again and goes around easily without a cane anymore! People with other autoimmune diseases like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia have experienced amazing results as well . There are cases of cancer and cancer treatments I have seen where reports have come back that conditions have improved dramatically because of this extract. Even conditions regarding blood sugar, cholesterol, thinning and pressure have come back with great results. People have reported improvements in ADD, ADHD, depression and bipolar conditions as well. Also, asthma, allergies, thyroid problems, autism, migraines, arthritis and pain in general have received favorable reports regarding Original Limu. For me, it was a throbbing pain in my right arm that surgery was unsuccessful in treating; the pain is now totally gone!!

    There are some books available that talk about the anti-cancer, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial characteristics of this extract. To us who have been involved now for the few short years of its existence, this extract is a gift from the Almighty. It has been around for thousands of years as a seaweed food for the people of the Tongan Islands who attribute their vigor and great health with excellent longevity to the consumption of the seaweed.

    There is a whole world out there that needs to hear this good news. I am so grateful that I have had the opportunity already to help so many people who were on their knees in prayer for an answer to their problems. It even helps with sinus conditions and migraine headaches. One woman I know was losing her vision due to a migraine condition and responded more quickly than any other case I know with obvious improvement in her vision in about 20 minutes!

    It is not easy to tell people about it. They just won't believe something this good has come along. I would love to help you get a new lease on life. Let me help you at www.limunight.originallimu.com or [email protected] or 979-297-1919. Be blessed.

    Not all acne will respond to proactive...
    Some is caused by Demodex Mites. Ask your dermatologist if he can test you for them. Then check out http://www.demodex.info. They have a lot of good info on what does and does not cause acne, and how you can treat it.

    Hello belinda! I think the mistake there is that you applied strong products like proactive to one of the thinnest skin in your entire body_the EYE AREA. This is a very sensitive area hence, you can tell a woman's age by how her bags look(unless she underwent eyebag removal). Do consult a dermatologist & when washing, be extracareful with those peepers. Anyway, when I do get a few pimples, I soak some cottonballs with a toner & put them on top till the cotton dries out. It usually does the job for me.
