waterjellybean 0 Share Posted August 8, 2004 hey!! i've been reading messages on these boards for a long time and i've been very relieved to know that things like these exist. it's like a support group that's there 24/7!!anyways, i was wondering if some of you could help me with something. i've always had fairly clear skin until last summer when i came back from san fran. i started having painful cystic pimples on my chin. i was using st. ives medicated apricot scrub then and i stopped using it. i could tell it wasn't helping. i ordered proactiv, the ads sucked me right in... i started using it in december and i started getting painful cystic pimples on my cheeks this time. they left red scars and it was really ugly. i stopped breaking out around my chin and jawline for a while, but i usually get pimples around my jawline once a month, before i get my period... probably the hormonal reflexes and stuff, but at least it's controllable now...well, i stopped using proactiv day and night, and i started using it only at night. in the morning i wash my face with colloidal silver soap from korea. it's been about 7 months since i've been on proactiv and i don't know if it's the proactiv that made the difference or the aloe gel&clearasil (bp) combo that i began using a month before that has made my skin so much more better...but i started using aloe gel religiously and clearasil bp cream. i've noticed a significant improvement in my skin...SO, i was wondering if some of you could help me out here. do you all think it could be the aloe gel and clearasil combo that helped me or the proactiv???and i also started to drink a LOT of water... about a gallon and a half a day... whew.. if you read all of this, you get five stars in my book! my regimenAM-colloidal silver soap-aloe gel on dry areas-block and white (scar removing lotion from the philippines) contains AHA and spf 20PM-proactiv wash-proactiv toner-proactiv repairing lotion only on certain areas, because my skin is sensistive in areas without pimples. -clearasil bp cream (spot treatment)-aloe gel on top of clearasil cream to moisturize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
