So my friend uses (well, used) pro-active daily (or whenever you're supposed to) and suddenly it stopped working for him..

do any of you know how could this have happened?
has this happened to any of you?

i heard that pro activ works for a little while and then as time passes, your skin adjusts to the formula and it gets used to it so it finds a way to keep pro activ from working. it's time for your friend to try another acne product.

Yeup. It happened to my cousin after about 3 months, and it's beginning to happen to me too. =[
It never really worked that well for me in the first place... I always get the odd pimple and those small bumps.

Ehh this is why Proactiv isn't the only thing I use...

I don't know if it's harmful for my skin or not but I use little bit of this and little bit of that.
(I heard its harmful to keep changing it but my skin doesn't react horribly like others)

Anyway, I switch between Benzoyl Peroxide (Proactiv) and Salicylic Acid (Nu Skin) so I don't let my skin adjust to one

(Don't know if this is good for your skin or not, but I do it anyway )

Yeah, the same thing happened to me. It was great the first 2 months, then it just stopped working.

Now I'm back to using St. Ives products and the aspirin mask.

eh~ maybe he became immune to it x__x~~ but i thought that only happens if you don't follow the instructions lol which is weird cuz you said he does >.<

[trishaa01]

his skin probably got used to the formula, and became "immune" to it.

Switch to Clean and clear then back after a while. :-X yeah that sucks. Clean face for 3 months then boom. bad face
