When I was a teenager I had bad skin. Didn't we all? It was embarassing and a real self-esteem killer. As I got older my acne disappeared, but my oily skin stayed. Even to this day I have very oily skin.
I remember as I was getting older (even through my 20's) my mom would tell me that I would "grow out of it" one day, and not to worry. But it just didn't happen. Don't get me wrong, having oily skin helps keep wrinkles away, which has contributed to my skin looking younger than it actually is.... but I don't want it to look teenager young! Between that and the braces I feel like I should grab a napsack and head back to highschool (do they even still use napsacks in high school, or does everyone have laptops now? lol. I don't know anymore.)
When I was given the Proactiv system to review, I really didn't think there was much it could do for me. I don't have acne, just very oily skin and very large pores that I've had since I was about 13. For the sake of reviewing it I thought I'd give it a try anyway to see how well the system worked as a general cleanser.....
.... WOW! I am in shock! My huge pores that have been my arch enemy since my early teens are so much smaller! My skin hasn't looked this good since.... well my skin has never looked this good! I really thought Proactiv was only for acne, but I am simply amazed at what it has done for my "mature" oily skin. I'm hooked now.
It's so nice to be able to feel better about my skin without having to pay an expensive visit to the dermatologist. As a 30-something woman I really thought that at this point I was stuck with the skin I had and that the best I could do was to try and prevent wrinkles, but I was wrong. I am so thrilled to have tried this. I am not sure how well it would help a 30 something person with dry skin or normal skin, but if you have oily skin try it out (and let me know what you think)! I love this stuff.
