I used proactive in high school and it worked!!
I tried every drug store cleanser, toner, creme, scrub...everything! All I got was irritation until I gave in to those commercials and tried proactive and it worked very quickly.
I know now that there are two types of active ingredients in acne cleansers: salsylic acid or benzol peroxide. The active ingredient in proactive is benzol peroxide.
Anyway now I use a gentle cleanser and a tube of 2% benzol peroxide for spot treatment. This is just as effective and costs much less. I still credit proactive for getting my face back to normal.
I don't know if this is still true with the new formula but watch out because proactive changed the color of most of my face towels!!
