Question by 8 mile!: THE REDNESS OF SKIN due to the use of proactive solution?
I've been using this proactive solution for my acne. I ain't got a bad skin just some pimples on my cheeks. The first 2 or 3 times i felt a lot of burning on my face when i put the "repairing lotion" on, but this is almost week 2 and it's all right. But i can see redness on my cheeks and chin. Want to know if redness is just something that'd go away after a while like the irritation that i had or it will get worse if i keep using it??
please gimmie some advices if u have experienced such a thing and by the way the proactive has worked for me well.
thanks allooot.

Answer by r0mz.. .
the redness is the effect of some irritation in the skin. even if doesn't hurt, there must be something wrong. try stop using it for a while(maybe 2 or 3 days). if the redness disappears, you may resume using it.Ü if the redness persists, consult a doctor.Ü

try reading the directions and precautions.

Question by Saltychip: Lots of new pimples on side of forehead?
Hey guys, I'm 18 and I've had the occasional pimple here and there. Nothing big just one or two. I always keep my face clean and wash it usually twice a day. Once in the morning and before sleep. Just to prevent pimples. I don't consider myself to have acne.

I usually use Clearasil Daily Face Wash and Zapzyt. I've been using that for a couple months and it seems to have been working fine for me. Recently though I felt like I needed to get something stronger because I was getting really annoying pimples above my lip. They would go away after a few days but come back again so I thought i needed something new to fix that problem.

I picked up some Clearasil Acne Solution. Some 3 step solution for like 20 bucks. Has some small bottles of "Daily Face Wash, "Daily Toner", "Daily Lotion" and the bottle of 10% BP that is supposed to reduce redness and spot size in 4 hours. Heres a picture of the box

I also bought the blackhead eraser for some annoying really tiny blackheads i have on my nose.

So for the most part I'd clean my face this way before I bought the new stuff.

Clearasil Daily Face Wash in the shower. Let it soak in and wash off.
Use once again before sleep. Wash off and use Zapzyt(dont rinse off) and go to sleep. Wake up then wash my face and repeat.
Added in the blackhead eraser ever other day. Like 4 times a week.

I got the new stuff and tried this way:
3 step solution after shower.
3 step solution before bed.
blackhead eraser every other day.

I work out 7 days a week and I'm sweating a good bit from the workouts. I bring a towel with me to wipe the sweat off my face usually. After using the new stuff for a few days I was working out and looked in a mirror and saw out of no where about 20 little red bumps on the side of my right forehead. Around my temple area. I dunno how they come up because I've never had something that bad before on my face. It was always just one little pimple or two.

I was assuming it was the new stuff I used. Maybe it wasn't strong enough to prevent pimples like the first stuff was? Or it was too strong and I had a reaction to it. I'm not really sure. It's been a few days and I went back to my original stuff. The bumps are still there but they have gotten a little smaller and there doesn't seem to be as many. I'm only use the face wash and zapzyt. It's been about 4 days now. I'm thinking about going to try the new stuff again for this upcoming week and if nothing changes or if it's worse I'm going to the dermatologist.

I'm just shocked how so many popped up basically overnight and I didn't notice it until i looked in the mirror. Any advice?

Question by Stronger than yesterday: I had oily pimples and now i have hard bumpy pimples - what happened? How do I treat it?
Have had adult acne for about 3 years now...it's getting better. Tried pro-activ and everything out there. I've just been prescribed birth control (yaz) by my dermatologist & continuing "benzaclin" antiobiotic cream. I've just bought Clinique's acne bar soap, exofoliating scrub & "lotion" and have added is w. the moisturizer I always use and now my skin is feeling more soft, clean, and most importatnly my zits have shrunk and all the oil is gone. Thing is, my pimples are just bumps now. What do I put? Keep it w. the benzalin? Use sulfur? (still have my pro activ spot treatment)....I can't pop them anymore...no more oil. Just bumps that hurt really bad and get red easily. What do i use? Salcicylic acid or antiobiotic cream?

There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.

It was even televised on TV.

It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It's been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)

Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.

This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a deal) on ebay at:

Search up "Cee En's Acne Solution" on ebay.

First 100 customers can get the item for for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can purchase 1 month supply for or 6 month supply for 0

It's expensive, but the product DOES work.

My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.

I don't have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.

check the seller's feedbacks on the cream

I hope this helps. =)
