Proactiv - you've seen the commercials but does it REALLY work?

So you’ve seen the commercials, you’ve heard the slogans, have you tried Proactiv? I tried this years ago, maybe 12 years ago, dealing with hormones after pregnancy, my face was breaking out! I remember my skin being very irritated and me sending it back & cancelling my subscription. Well, in clear desperation, I was up for trying it again. I read they have a new formula, but it didn’t get great reviews so I decided to go back to the old/original formula. So, I plopped down $20, paid with Paypal, & 3 days later it was here! I opened the box to reveal my clear skin system. Wow, the sizes were SMALL! 1 oz & 2 oz bottles, that can be a sample size to some companies! Well, if it works, then it’s worth the money & continuous re-orders. I’ve noticed that the sides of my face, below my cheekbones, are breaking out in a cystic pimple! YUK! They hurt & I can’t help but pick at them which is a big no –no. I’ve had this occasionally, but ever since I got my HTC HD7 phone to try out from Bzzagent, it’s been happening on both sides of my face (maybe from the larger screen leaning up against my face?). I’m slightly suspicious that it’s due to the larger screen that has to be held against my face. Well, I’ll keep you updated on my thoughts of Proactiv.
