    Is anyone using PROACTIV?
    I just started using it.

    My question is if I stopped using if (say about 2 months after I started because I will run out of it) how long until my face becomes bad again? Anyone know?


    For example I used to use retin-A, it took a while to work, but it also took a while to stop working. I took clevares acne pills but they cut me a month short so I still have just a little

    There's no cure for acne, but it can be treated. If you have acne prone skin, you will need to keep using your acne treatment to help treat and control the acne. Once you stop using the treatment, the acne will come back.

    I agree. I use proactiv and I love it. In October, I went up north to Lake Superior with my friends and we stayed in a cabin at a lodge. I forgot my proactiv and washed my face with some neutragena stuff for 4 days. By the time I got home, my face was covered in pimples. Needless to say I always remember to bring it now! So yeah, it's a good idea to stick with it. Unfortuately, those of us blessed with blemishy skin have to take our precautions! :)
