proactiv peeps

Every so often I get a little overzealous with my Proactiv and run out of the cleanser before my next batch arrives; this happened recently, and so I've been using some random Neutrogena scrub, which was probably the cause of my breakouts. I used my Proactiv again tonight and my skin does feel different - the thing is, when I was using the cleanser, it felt different. Not as gritty, as if they'd made the grit they put in it finer or something. But that may simply be because the grit in the Neutrogena scrub was huge.

Random note: It literally took me like fifteen minutes to come up with the term "gritty" which I'm still not completely satisfied, but is better than the next-best-thing I'd come up with, which was, "those small rocky things in the cleanser that probably don't do anything but at least give the illusion of exfoliating."

Anyway, my question is, for any of you out there who use Proactiv: Did the formula change at all? Or is it just me?

Randomly again: If you get the chance, I recommend checking out Troop 1500 on PBS. It's a documentary about a Girl Scout troop made up of girls whose mothers are in prison, and it was really excellent. I really want to know more about the girls and their mothers, but I can't get any concrete information anywhere. Also, I came in late to watching it, so I missed finding out why one of the mothers was in jail, the one who was in there for (by my caculation) at least twenty more years. What did she do? Did anyone else watch?

Oh, wow. Did the documentary say if it was with the patients' consent?

No, though I think it wasn't. They were very old, and suffering, though, she mentioned that. They left the role of the patients kind of unclear, actually. Crazy, right? I found myself incredibly fascinated by her, I wished there could be another documentary about her and her choices and things.

The documentary didn't get into it? That is totally crazy! I know that nothing is ever really resolved in life, but I also really wanted a little more closure about how the girls' lives were going - presumably enough time has passed between the time they finished filming it and it airing on PBS that there have probably been some changes in the girls' lives - I really wanted to know more. And I can't find anything on the website! Frustrating!
