My two younger children are showing signs of having my horrible skin problems. Nothing ever worked for me......I have heard good things about Proactive, but have been putting off ordering it.

My daughter uses it. It makes her skin burn. She used it for a week, and all it did was make her pimples flatter, but they didn't go away.
She has extremely sensitive skin, though. I have to wash her clothes in fragrance-free, color-free, non-concentrated detergent, or she breaks out in a rash.
She says the best thing she has used so far is Neutrogena Deep Clean * Cleanser.
Too bad,.....so sad for me I guess.
Candy, and soda was an "occasional" thing for me as a treat.
I presume by todays standards that makes my mother a female Hitler?
Didn't cause me any loss of fun, and I never had acne, plus at almost 48 I have ALL of my teeth. That includes my wisdom teeth.
I drink a 12 pack of Vernors ginger ale in a year roughly, and I will have some ice cream, or a chocolate bar maybe once a month.
I also don't weigh 300 pounds,........worked for me.
your posts remind me of a country song
We talk about your work how your boss is a jerk
We talk about your church and your head when it hurts
We talk about the troubles you've been having with your brother
About your daddy and your mother and your crazy ex-lover
We talk about your friends and the places that you've been
We talk about your skin and the dimples on your chin
The polish on your toes and the run in your hose
And God knows we're gonna talk about your clothes
You know talking about you makes me smile
But every once in awhile
I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you you you you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about meeeeee (me,me,me,me-background singers)
I wanna talk about me (me,me-background singers)
We talk about your dreams and we talk about your schemes
your high school team and your moisturizer creme
We talk about your nanna up in Muncie, Indiana
We talk about your grandma down in Alabama
We talk about your guys of every shape and size
The ones that you despise and the ones you idolize
We talk about your heart, bout your brains and your smarts
And your medical charts and when you start
You know talking about you makes me grin
But every now and then
One more verse made up by me
we talk about your daughter say morew than we autta bout her drivin and her wrecks but not about her sex
we talk about your gold and how youre getting poor
how your man won't work and where to put your store
we bid on your guns but never seem to win cuz the prices are so high I just can't see.eeee
I like talkin bout you you you usually but occaision al- leeee
I wanna talk about meeeeeee
My son is on the fitness team at the school....never lost a race in his life....played football every year (but one) since he was 6. The girls are teeny to the point that I worry, but all girls seem to look just about the same and I see them eating.....not much you can do about what they will and won't eat. I just try to convince them that what is good for you is actually GOOD....sometimes they fall for it.
That comment was not aimed at you,.....just a general statement.
Some folks have bad skin when they are young regardless of what they eat.
I remember some of my friends in HS being called "pizza faces" per se.
If you have confidence in whatever product this is, then by all means give it a go.
Take them to the dermatologist first.
See the Doctor first. My youngest son had a real mess going, but it has completely cleared up now.
I have just about decided that acne is just about unavoidable....I just see that Proactive stuff in people's bathrooms and the commercials are always on TV....so I was wondering if anyone had any real luck with it. I can't imagine it is a magical cure to problem skin, but I wanted to know if there was a lot of unhappy results from people who have tried it BEFORE I spent any money on it.
I guess the reason I am not a sweet tooth, or a soda drinker is because I was not allowed to do it as a child.
Too bad,.....so sad for me I guess.
Candy, and soda was an "occasional" thing for me as a treat.

Same here- Candy and sweets only happened on the Holidays. Ice cream and homemade cookies was about it. When I look back at it all, I'm glad.
I'd be very careful using that stuff
Have they tried homemade lye soap?
You can buy the stuff now in stores, but folks used to make their own, and I reckon some of them still do.

One of my daughters used it ...it works but is expensive...it also must have some kind of peroxide in it because it will "bleach" a towel if not completely rinsed off....Go to the doctor first ..my 2 cents.

Her skin cleared up to nearly perfect in 8 weeks.
She is a much happier girl now and I'm glad we could help her.
(kidding)....I understand that helps a lot of girls. Back when I was younger it didn't do much for my problems, but things are different with what they have available now.

I don't want to get off topic, but my mom had a great philosophy.
I will not be around forever, So I will teach you how to Shoot, Hunt, Camp, Fish, Cook, Clean game, mend your clothes, Iron, wash, ETC Etc,
Scott...you are a mess. I can almost hear you singin that....and lets just say the old sayin "don't quit your day job" comes to mind.

Come on! you gotta admit that was pretty clever.[:D][:D]
Oh yeah, and you gotta admit that you read the whole song...hearing Toby's voice in your head.
I like the forums. Where else could me asking about an acne program for my kids end up people talking about survivalist living, over-dramatic serinading, wonderful moms, nazi moms.....and still leave me wondering if I should get the stuff?

Yes. Another Vernors disciple. I got hooked on it over 30 years ago. It's always hard to find around here.

Mine was the same,....minus the hunting, fishing, and shooting.
She left that to my grandfather, and great-uncles.
I was taught how to do laundry, sew, iron, cook, and clean house pretty young.
When I was dating heavy years ago, the chicks would always think I had a live-in girlfriend, or was married when they came to my house for the first time.
Don't know how many times I heard "No way does a single guy live here by himself."
Kasey,.....sorry I can't offer advice on that stuff. Never used it, and don't know anybody that does.
Heck if Jessica Simpson pitches it, it must be good! Right?[:D]
