"I would look in the mirror and I would just see… the pimples. It was more the black spots, because every time I would get a blemish on my face, it would leave a scar. And so my problem was keeping the blemishes away so the scars wouldn’t come. When I started using Proactiv®, that’s when I noticed a change in my skin complexion. When I first saw the infomercials I really kind of had my doubts, about if it would work for African Americans, if it would really clear up the spots, which is what my problem basically was. And so that was my main concern, would this Proactiv skin care program actually clear up the spots that were on my face, because that was the thing that I saw every day. Right after I washed my face I could feel how clean it was. I could tell that my face had never been this clean before… it took a little bit of time for the spots to go, but I realized that when I was consistent with it, that they did fade and nothing else I had used ever made them fade away. I’ve been using it for about a year and a half now. The main reason why I still continue to use it is because I like the way it cleans my face. It keeps my face clean and I like how it’s helping prevent more breakouts and pretty much Proactiv is the only thing that’s worked on my face. So I figure I’ve found something that works. Why stop? And …any African American out there who thinks this might not work, I can tell you that it does. It really does..."
