I am a 33 yr old man suffering from acne . ITS slowly getting better because I use proactive and a vitamin c moisturizer. I have a friend who is 57 and he is dark skinned and had flawless spotless skin hardly any wrinkles! Every time i just have to touch it and feel jealous. He said he doesn't put anything on his face except lotion. Looks like he wears makeup. He has very young looking skin and eats sugar and whatever he wants!

I know I hate it LOL I'm so jealous, fortunately my acne is going away because I am using pro active , the only thing that ever kept me clear. I think I may have to use it till I die. LOL Because if I stop it always comes back.

It sucks especially when my whole family has clear skin. I'm the only one who breaks out. It's depressing when people ask "what happened to your face?" Or whenever people comment how beautiful my sister looks and I'm in the corner with the dotted oily face.

Hi leegary,

 

As Lucas89 said, "...some people win the genetic lottery and some lose big time."

 

But you can't base your happiness on other peoples' (your friend) skin. I do this too and always end up catching myself. At that point, I just remember the things about me that people like. My skin isn't what makes me funny or kind or caring.

 

I know it can be difficult at times, however you need to stop being so mean to yourself! :)

How long have you been using it for?

 

I used it long long ago for long a couple months. Worked great at first, but the effects started dying off as the months went by.

 

Hope it works forever for you though!

I have been using it since I was 19 or 20. So 14 years! On and off . It always works. But i cant stop using it or acne will come back. Last June I stopped using it to see if I could go without it. It took a few weeks and my face started to break out horribly! I always get the worst on my forehead and temples.
