Hello kiddos....I need some advice from the experts!

Ok....I'm 23 and in the last 2 years I've started breaking out so bad! Up until that point I might have had 10 zits EVER! So does anyone have any advice on curing this??? I'm thinking of trying proactiv...but I'm just not sure. I have dry skin, so it isn't an oil issue.

PLEASE HELP!

I have a friend whose one child was helped by Proactiv but her other child was not.

i use proactive and it took a while to work but it did help' altho i use about 3 other things to get rid of them the thing i dont like about proactive is it can be costly and comes in small bottles. the thing with pimples is you should just go and try diff products and c what works for you

If you're on birth control, ask your gyn about switching to Ortho-tri-cyclen. It helps.

If you have dry skin, go to the dermatologist (if thats possible for you) and he/she will give you some great, unscented hypoallergenic lotion which I cannot remember the name of lol

There's also some lotion containing salicylic acid you can buy over the counter.

I haven't had really bad pimples on my face since about 14, but I have them all over my back and arms. The ortho-tri-cyclen made a difference.
