Has anyone tried Proactiv? Does it really work?

I tried it and it didn't work for me, but I've heard it works for others.

I bought it for my son and it works well,he still uses it. The only thing I didn't like was that if you wanted any kind of reduced prices you had to sign up for automatic shipment of the next batch. They sent it too soon and it got to be a hassle. Some malls have kiosks set up where you can buy it without that hassle.

Obviously it's not a solution for guys, but going on the Pill did wonders for my adult acne.

A friend of mine has really dry skin - she says she is one big flake without cream - and she started buying 'sweet almond oil'. She gets it at the health food store, although I am not sure if it can be found elsewhere. She mixes it with her lotion and she said it feels like silk and makes he skin really soft. It could probably also be used in the exfoliation recipe that Kerri posted.

A lot of times, I put it on my legs when I get out of the shower, in lieu of lotion. Keeps my skin very soft.
I can't shave full-leg standing up (I can do the calf, but not the thigh), so I try not to put baby oil in the tub when I'm shaving because it leaves a horrible stubble-filled ring around the tub.

I just started waxing my legs - just half - this spring and I must say even though it was very painful the first time, I am really starting to like the results and every time it just gets better.

I guess....I went from dark, black hair all over my leg to light, soft hair almost invisable over just some of my leg. The first time you do it some hairs might break instead of pull - in the friction zone....i.e. where your pants rub your leg the most. I have done it four times now and have no friction hair left, it is no longer painful and my leg stays smooth longer. Even my hubby can't believe the difference.

I go to an estitician(?). I am too much of a chicken to do it myself and the lady who does my pedicures is really good so I trusted her.
