its not about the PRODUCTS itself. it's more about keeping your skin on a routine. of course your face is going to freakout after not using proactiv after you continuously used it for 4 years? its not proactivs "fault". this video is dumb. your face cleared up after getting off proactiv because you got on another "routine" . Whats the difference in a proactiv routine and a clean and clear routine? you're going to stick with one either way. so stopping proactiv was dumb.
My best friend went on proactive and she forgot to use it for literally one night and she broke out worse than before and now she uses clean and clear morning burst which its working kinda. She still has acne but its not as before and its not really that noticable. I was going to get proactive but it was exspensive so i didnt, so happy i didnt now. I was debating on if i should choose clean and clear morning burst or the neutrogena wave. I only really need a basic cleaner tho, i have little acne
wow we have the same problem . i have tried every drugstore product. i get acne on my forhead and i spent 80$ on this stuff called clean start by dermalogica. .didnt work so i just got proactive 2 days ago . it was 100 . i really hate getting my parents to spend that much, but i don want my acne to go away its a pain. and ugly, i hope proactive works for me :S
you use the same exact stuff i use, how crazy!?! i was on proactive for about a week and my skin only got worse! i had to do something about it, so i bought all clean and clear products and they have been working great for me! i also bought a drying paste, it's for pimples you popped, although that is a horrible thing to do, it happens. and that also works great. i recommend all the products you have shown! they work great together!!!
def have to say THANK YOU! I too have tried everything, all drug store, retinol, proactiv etc...and this honestly has done the trick and I cannot believe it! maybe its too soon to tell, but so far a few days in and there is not a pimple in sight, i have mild acne but this is like..god sent :) THANK YOU
thank you so much for posting this video, I am on proactiv currently, not even a month, but it has made my skin better so far. I would use your method to go off proactiv, hope i can get off it as soon as possible.
I used to break out alot when I was high school, then i stopped for a year or 2 then now it came back again, dammit, idk whats wrong with my skin.
I have BAD acne but with proactiv it is beautiful.. HOWEVER.. A friend a few minutes ago just told me how aweful it is.. People end up with worse skin in years to come.. I am 25 and still I can bet that as soon as I stop proactiv I will break out so bad.. Actually my skin isnt 100% clear.. Man I am worried to stop and use more natural products. :/
@MissLoveAndLight Dont worry about it, its the BP that ur skin gets used to and U have to keep increasing the amount of BP, Heavy layers. I never used their Cleansor or Toner. Just dont use the 3rd step everyday. I ordered Dan Kerns (anceDOTorg) 2.5%BP lotion since u get soo much more for cheaper. Im clear and I just use it at night as part of my night regime for PREVENTION. It disinfects the skin and kills bacteria/acne before it starts.
Hi how long did it take you to clear youre skin after proactiv? I just recently quit 3 months ago after using it for over 6 years. Youre skin looks beautiful by the way
@pllfan221 Probably about 2 months, because I really wanted to do it slowly. But I didn't fully clear my skin until about a month after I bought the Clean & Clear products. :)
im going to try and get off of proactiv, ive been on it for 8 months and i love it, but i guess its really bad for your skin. i am going to switch off routines during the week like you did, but can you tell me how bad your breakouts were when you were doing that? thanks :) this video was really helpful :)
I'm so glad you decided to post videos about this! I've been on Proactive for the past 2-3 years, and recently realized just how bad it really is for my skin (I literally cried). I abruptly stopped it once before, and my acne was 5x worse than what it was BEFORE I tried this regimen. So now I'm hoping to ween myself off of it as well (sloooooowly!).. I hope it goes well!
Thanks again for posting this! Definitely cheers me up :)
@IrockChristina Proactiv actually worked great for my skin. Besides, I didn't know it was bad FOR my skin until the last year that I used it. And the effects after I stopped using it were what was the worst.
proactive did not work for me it made me get all these white bumps all over my face way worse then what i had before I used proactive and once I stoped using it it took forever to get my skin good again I had pimples that would not go away that was in jr high im now 21 and out of school but clean and clear never worked back then but maybe it will now ill give it a try since it is really cheap the only thing I really liked was the morning glow moisturizer
i love how pro activ sounds like a drug in this video :) and i will definitely be trying the toner because the clinique one has the same percentage of acne treatment and yet its is sooo much more expensive than clean and clear
Thanks! I am for sure going to give it a try, that is how much my clinique cleanser has, so if I can find something cheaper that works then I am stoked. lol
P.S. I really enjoy your video's, you seem so down to earth and relatable, unlike some of the other guru's who suggest buying like $50 concealers and stuff.lol. all of the college kids that I know don't have $50 extra bucks to spend on concealer. =D
How much salicylic acid is in the toner, like on the back of the bottle what percentage does it say?
I want to try this routine, I am not on proactive...it didn't work for me when I tried it....but I am using the clinique acne solutions and it's kinda really expensive.lol

Benzoyl Peroxide does work for you if you used Proactiv and it worked. That's the active ingredient.
