The one thing I could tell you is for any skin type the only ingredient that helps is either benzol peroxide or salicylic acid! Those two are the main ingredients that help get rid of acne - the only problem with salicylic acid is to some people it irritates the skin a lot so if your skin is super - sensitive - I really do not recommend using it!

About Proactive I'm not really sure as much cause I never really looked and the people that I know that have used it all said it's bull so I don't really know! Acne is also a problem to some people when you have high acidity in the stomach (I think its acidity or just problems with the stomach) anyway basically acne is the sense of saying you have problems in your stomach - just like if your skin starts turning yellow as in tan like and its winter then you have problems with your liver (I think its the liver)!

The main thing that a lot of people don't understand is the problems that you have on the outside are the problems you have to cure first on the inside. A lot of times when people say you are what you eat - its kinda true. As soon as I eat chocolates or eggs I break out - it's not only in the touching of your face with grease that you get acne but also what you eat.

You have problems when if, you have a great amount of acne on your face and back then you have to go see a doctor. Anyway so this is as much as I can tell you below me I see a new product called murad an acne complex so maybe that will help! good luck!

Wash with Purpose cleanser twice every day.

Exfoliate twice a week with the Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser.

Moisturize with Olay Moisturizer (with SPF 15 for sun protection) after every face washing and before putting on make-up.

Extra: Give yourself an occasional home-made facial. You can use whatever facial cleanser you prefer, just as long as it is creamy and can stay on your face for a long period of time without dripping. Take a soft wash cloth and wet it with warm/hot water and then squeeze out any excess water. Lay back in a comfy chair and put the hot towel on your face. This is a great way to relax and it also does wonders for your skin.

Occasional visits to an esthetician couldn’t hurt either! It’s a bit pricey, but just doing it on occasion would be a good idea. =) I hope this has been helpful and good luck with your skin! =)

Id recomend the Neutrogena Wave Duo. I got it and after I used it within ten minutes my acme was less red and smaller. Less than week and it's almost gone. Its amazing and opens your pores to sort of drain the acne. If course I also used cetaphil for more frequent face washes. The wave does cause a bit of dry skin, but it is easily cured using Eucurin Dry Skin Therapy Moisturizing Cream.

Proactiv worked really well when I first started using it, lie the first few months. But then it like stopped. Like my skin got immune to it, so I switched to Neutrogena Skin ID and I saw results the next day.  My forehead had cleared up ( not completely but it had gone down).

Yes, I use it and it works great.  It's worth the money.  The only side affect my boyfriend or I have ever had while using it is a little dry skin.  ProActiv is a 3 step process.  And after the 3rd step dries I recommend using a moisturizer.
