proactiv

so since i've started school i've been having pimple breakouts more frequently. probably due to stress and lack of sleep. i've tried various cleansers, astringents, anything containing salicylic acid and benzyl peroxide. still have breakouts. arg. i never had such bad skin in high school or undergrad for that matter. guess i'm a late bloomer for acne (like many other things).

so hunny's brother and his cousin swear by proactiv. having a pharmacist as a dad, i'm quite skeptical. because really, these aren't new ingredients i haven't already tried. but hey, they have a free 60 day trial. so here it goes. we'll see if i break out during finals week while using proactiv.

i'll keep you guys updated on how my little experiment goes. i just used all the products and so far skin feels soft and not too oily.

Back in college the UCLA physician prescribed me Erythromycin, Tetracycline and Retin A and they worked out ok for me.

well those are a little strong for me. plus i already have sensitive skin so strong products tend to irritate. hopefully the proactiv works. if it does, i'll search for cheaper products which contain the same ingredients. hehe.
