Let's be straight. Acne stinks! I am not here to feed you any garbage about ways that can supposedly clear your skin. Instead, I am here to talk to you about my acne experiences and what did and did not work for me. I am also here to point you in the right direction of some great acne products and acne resources that will help you get rid of your acne.

My Acne Teen story:
I first started getting acne my freshman year of high school. As most people didn't believe my acne was "that bad compared to others," I still thought it was horrible. It was a real self-esteem killer. I vividly remember hiding my face from everyone as I walked through the halls all because of a few little pimples. No matter how little those pimples actually were, each one still seemed enormous and hideous to me.
Welcome to the world of acne products - Only after having acne for one month, I decided that it was time to try to clear my skin.
Products and tricks I use in attempts to clear my skin:
- Alcohol pads
- Acne free face wash
- Egg whites
- Eating "healthy"
- Fasting
Research became my friend - After the commercial alcohol pads and acne free face washes didn't work for me, I began to research the underlying causes of acne. I also searched for ways to get rid of acne. That's when I came across step numbers 3, 4, and 5 above. But still, egg whites, eating healthy, and even fasting wouldn't get rid of my acne.
Introduced to Proactiv - Finally, after months of nothing working, I was introduced to Proactiv Solutions. Proactiv resulted in the beautiful skin in the above "after" picture.

Life without Acne - Life without acne is simply amazing. I can freely do what I want and need without having to worry about a pimple sprouting and ruining my day. Without acne, I no longer have to hide my face and I no longer have to hide from the world.
My hope for you:
From reading the advice that I am providing you with here at AcneTeen dot Org, I hope that you will also have clear skin success. Please enjoy reading Acne Teen dot Org. I hope to see you around and I hope to see you with clear skin soon!

Dude i love your site man haha, your story stikes resemblence to what i've gone through. I started getting acne at about the same time you did. I never really tried proactiv in it's entirety and never was willing to because of all the hype it gets. But thanks to your girlfriend showing me your site, I think im willing to give it another shot. good looking out man, ill be talking to you very soon
Hey dude. Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I forgot to check the box that says, "send comments to email." So I didn't even know I was getting comments.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you're going to give Proactiv a try again. My girlfriend told me she talked to you. We should all hang out soon.
hey mate, been watching your videos and i think i will give proactiv a try, i have just finished ordering it. I live in England and proactiv isnt heared of here, so i hope this will be the product for me. :)
@ Anonymous - I hope Proactiv will work well for you too. :)
Hey are you still using proactiv? What is your skincare routine now? And what kind of food do you eat/diet might you be on? I've been struggling with acne for the past year and it doesn't seem to go away no matter what I do. Please help.
I'm still using Proactiv. :) Diet is no big. I eat anything and everything. To combat that, I do the P90X.
Have you tried Proactiv?
No I have not. All the people that I know who have used it have had no success with the skin (maybe they weren't doing it properly like how you show). May I ask, what's P90X?
Could be that they're not using it right. P90X is an extreme home workout system. It's even helped me improve my skin. :)
Oh my god fortunately i have not this one (acne)
hello there he taught me a lot of that from acne i had it sence i was 1 year old and i still have it
Well I look forward to clear skin. I lied about having clear skin already in that pm I sent you but I can actually see proactiv's progress towards my skin. And I've only been using it for about a week so, thanks for the tutorials and stuff.
MNBoarder2 - I am glad things are beginning to turn out. Keep up the great work!
Hey
Alot of my dryness is occuring on my skin while using proactiv. Whats the best thing to do?
Are you using a moisturizer?
After i shave in the morning i use Aveeno
Have you seen my "how to use Proactiv" videos on youtube?
yah.... i pretty much do it just like you explain it
Try using Proactiv only once a day, right before you go to sleep.
should you use any other product with the proactive system? because my sister told me to just use the cleanser if u have really oily skin and i have oily skin she said the lotion and toner would break you out so right now im just using the cleanser and im wondering if i should use all of the steps.. also im using another product with the cleanser its called erythromycin topical solution.. its like a roll on liquid and its mixed with alcohol and other products should i be using this also or what should i do
If you're going to use Proactiv, I would just stick with Proactiv. Mixing in other products can actually make your acne worse.
In order for Proactiv to work correctly, you cannot skip any of the steps. You need to use each of the three steps for it to work correctly. Simply cleansing or using the first step is not enough, and will not keep your acne away.

"thank you so much for your advice and yes i do have one more question should i use soap to wash my face before i use the cleanser or just use the cleanser followed by the other two steps?"
Just use the cleanser followed by the next two steps.
"if u are getting pimples when u are using the product and theres white puss on top of it should u pop it"
Yes. But be sure you know how to safely pop a pimple.
WHAT ARETHE THREE STEPS YOU USE
