hi proactiv is good- they have that one product called acne free with that jessica simpson look alike- just make sure if you order n the phone they don't have that thing where they keep charging you.

acnefree is pretty good and very affordable. It does use benzoyl peroxide so might not work well for those with dry or sensitive skin. I heard good things about Murad's acne complex and the one from clinique too.

u can try the below it works:

1. get clindamycin (antibiotcs) from drug store

2. mix it with water

3. spray it on the pimple area

it works for mild cases

Anyone have tried Timeless Prescription, 3 step acne system? The simple 3-step system contains powerful acne fighting ingredients to clear acne blemishes and allow skin to heal. This unprecedented Acne Care system uses a breakthrough stabilized and time-released Benzoyl Peroxide which maintains its potency over time.

I have tried it and love it and most people have found a great difference after they gone off Proactive and use this one.

If you want more info. please let me know. I can't post link here for some reason.

There are too many things out there that are better than proactiv. Proactiv is overrated

I have pimples for the last 4 months and after using POND'S flawless white? it reduces dark spots, blemishes and whitens my skin in just 7 days! I also use MAXI-PEEL Exfoliant and it kills the pimples with the skin peeling and I have use this before and it peels your skin to the point that it reveals newer skin as good as a baby.

This is actually the longest time I had pimples and acne and there are actually different kinds of acne. Cystic acne cannot be cured by most over the counter products since cystic acne has deep roots and you need to stop eating oily foods and used products that specifically goes deep down the pores and kills the bacteria such as the exfoliant I'm using. Consult a dermatologist and ask them what causes cystic acne. when you know the reasons why you have them then you know what to stop using and eating.

Also skip using moisturizer every other day. No matter how effective these moistiruzers can be they still clog pores and will cause break outs. I also suggest that you need to boost your Vitamin C intake as this vitamin kills pimples and help the healing process. Eat a lot of vegetables and exercise so that you sweat all the oiliness of your face and wash your face 3 to 5 times a day.

This product only caused more scarring and acne in places that i never had acne before. I switched to clear pores and it's way better.
