I think proactive works fine. But I've never had a lot of acne...aside some occasional pop-ups so I don't know. :shrug:
If you have really severe acne, just go to the dermatologist and they can give you something strong.

Proactive is shit, it only works on some peoples skin and even then it can make your breakouts worse.

proactive is a product that if (it does make your skin better) you will need to continue to use for the rest of your life to maintain clear skin. dont do it
if your acne is REALLY that bad get a derm and talk to them about accutane. i'm on my 4th month and my skin is spectacular. (:
if its not that bad. buy soaps with salicylic acid. umm if your acne is concentrated on your forehead/hairline be concious if you wear hats and your hairstyle (bangs)
if you wear makeup stay away from liquid. buy powders..preferably pure powders (bare minerals is really good). make sure you take ALL of it off before bed
hope some of that helped!!

i used it but it made me break out worse and i thought it would get better if i kept on using it but it didnt.
neutrogena was the one that made all my acne gone.

Only your dermatologist can prescribe what is truly right for your skin.. If you are really concerned about your acne make an appointment!

I had really bad break outs at times, and this shit right here http://www.obagi.com/article/forpatients/obagiclenzidermmd/clenziderm.html
did wonders for my face. I rarely ever break out any more, and my face is basically all clear.
but you have to use it every day. Sometimes twice a day if you're feeling extra acne.
It's basically magic in a bottle. It's 130 dollars, but it's worth every penny.
It's 3 steps just like proactive, but it works so much better. I used proactive for a while, but it didn't work. Nothing really worked. But this is amazing. After a month or so, you'll be very clear. I promise.

it will help your skin, but not make it completely clear like they say it will. i was using it & it didnt really help. i talked to my doctor & he just prescribed me stuff. anything like proactive or acnefree only helps a little(:

Proactive was god for the first few months that I ordered it,
then it turned to shit. The horrible breakouts came next.
