My name is Bethany. I have had acne since 5th grade. It started out with really big red ones all over my forehead. After about 2 years I did nothing. Finally I started on Proactiv. At first it was a disaster my face would be really really shiny and it would be really red and hurt a lot. Finally after about 2 years and like a million different acne products my acne started to get better. Now I use Noxzema cleansing cream and the Proactiv repairing lotion. My face is a ton better than 5th grade but it is still a lot worse than I would like. Now all I have is oily skin and my zits are the kind that aren't really red but are really small bumps that are skin colored. Having zits at such a young age can defiantly ruin you. It was one of the main causes of my self-esteem issues. Finally at age 18 I feel a little better about myself but I still have major self-esteem issues. I hope that I can overcome my acne so I can help kids that have acne so they don't have to ruin their lives like I have.
