Friday, August 12, 2011
Convo with sarah (bot) from Proactive
Sarah: Hi. I'm a Proactiv product specialist. Do you have any questions about the Proactiv product?
Sarah: Just let me know if I can be of any help.
You: I do
You: I saw a tv ad for proactiv and there was a book included with the bonus gift
You: I don't see the book on your site
Sarah: I would be happy to answer your question regarding offers.
Sarah: Yes, we provide The Doctors' Secret to a Lifetime of Clear Skin book free of cost with the proactiv system.
You: I'm ready to checkout, will it appear on my shopping cart?
Sarah: Sure!
Sarah: May I ask which proactiv system you are interested in today?
You: the three step system, i'm 22 and i've had a slight acne problem since i was 13
Sarah: Great choice!
You: my dermatologist wants me to try aczone, but i'd rather not pay $200 a month for something that may not work
Sarah: Proactiv will surely work on your skin.
Sarah: Remember we offer a 60-day risk-free guarantee, if for any reason you're not satisfied with your package at anytime with in the 60 days then we'll refund your money.
Sarah: I'd like to stay with you while you continue with your order in case you have any additional questions, will that be okay?
You: great, I have another question
Sarah: Please feel free to ask.
You: I've heard that proactiv is bad for your skin overtime, and that your skin can become addicted to the main ingredient, without it, will my skin get worse?
Sarah: It's not like that.
Sarah: Proactiv has changed the skin and lives of millions of people. On the top of the page there is a link that will show you real stories from real people.
You: okay, I just wanted to make sure that if I miss a day of using proactiv then my skin won't breakout like crazy
Sarah: It is recommended to use Proactiv system twice daily in the morning and in the night for the best results.
Sarah: It does not affect much, however, if you not apply as recommended results might take longer time.
You: that makes sense. Does proactive have any side affects for ppl who tan?
Sarah: Side effects are usually mild, and may include drying or irritation if you are sensitive to benzoyl peroxide. If you experience dryness, I'd recommend trying our Green Tea Moisturizer to nourish and soothe upset skin.
You: i picked that as my bonus gift, my dermatologist said I have oily skin, is the moisturizer oil free?
Sarah: Alright.
Sarah: Yes, we have oil free moisturizer with the deluxe system.
Sarah: Let's proceed with the order if you do not have any other questions?
You: I don't
Sarah: Congratulations! Your order is complete. On this page you'll see a summary of your order, as well as your order number.
Sarah: You will receive a confirmation email within 24 hours of submitting your order online to let you know that everything went through ok.
Sarah: Is there anything else I can help you with today?

A slight hiccup
The hot and cold water method is working fine, but last week I drank two energy shots, both with enough b12 to keep me up for two days. So of course it messed my skin up. So I'm recovering from that, and planning on getting proactiv its inky twenty bucks a Month so why not right?

Been awhile
My skin had gotten loads better, I've stopped using those crap products, including the aczone( which is way to expensive anyway) I'm down to the basics, using alcohol on my face then washing it with hot and child water and normal soap by dial.

Back to the plan
Well it's been about three weeks and my skin has gone up and down ever since I stopped using the cleaning clear products. I noticed that after day five and a six my skin was still feeling oily and I was still having breakouts. So now I am looking in to more expensive acne treatments that are actually dermatologist recommended. A friend at work who had battle with acne very recently told me about her dermatologist and product she's now using is called Ac zone. She gave me a few sample bottle of them that day cream and night cream and the day cream works extremely well the night cream I'm not so sure about. The only problem is the cost of ac zone for about a month supply worth it'll cost around $200. I am still staying positive and always looking for the best value with the best medication and that so hopefully Aczone and works for me .

Night three
After working a very stressful shift and using my spot treatment during work when I felt my skin needed it I came home to wash my face right away with the clean and clear wash with ten% peroxide and I followed up with the moisturizer and spot treatment.
