Proactiv didn't work for me
Saturday, October 11, 2008 10:14 PM
This is for anyone who has constant problems with acne (aka you've suffered your whole pathetic life). I've been using Proactiv for the last 6 months and it has not worked. Someone has got to get a bad review out there onto the internet. When I was deciding whether or not to start using Proactiv I looked for any bad reviews and I found none, so I was convinced it was the miracle product I had been searching for. But six months later I find myself again frustrated about all the money I have spent and all the pathetic results.

So the past few days I have been doing my own "research" compiling information about acne treatments from several different sources (mostly different magazines and websites).

So tomorrow I am starting a new "clear skin diet experiment" (this is about where this blog makes me look lame).

Here is a list of things I am not eating for the next 30 days:

-Dairy
-Excess sugar (this isn't a huge problem for me)
-Refined carbs (white bread, pasta, etc.)

And a list of the things I am filling my diet with:

-Omega 3 (supplement form)
-Lean protein (fish, chicken, beans, etc.)
-Vitamin C rich fruits/vegetables
-Whole wheat and whole grains
-Dark green, red, and orange vegetables
-Water

I know, you may be thinking 'Well that's what you should be eating/not eating on a normal basis!' But two motivators are definitely better than one.

So the next 30 days are going to be an experiment, I might blog on any big results or breakthroughs, or maybe at the end I will report that nothing will happen.

I also ordered Avon's Clearskin Professional Acne Treatment System to replace the Proactiv I am currently using. I will definitely post the results on that just in case anyone else is looking for an acne treatment that works (or is trying to avoid one's that don't).
