Sorry for posting so much today. I was just wondering if anyone has tried both and which one worked better for your skin. I have used proactive for about 8 months. I just used Cetaphil foaming cleanser (I think it's called) for the first time then used the oil control moisturizer after and my skin feels soooo nice compared to right after I use the proactive 3 step(exfoliating cleanser, pore cleanser & moisturizer) but I don't know if it just feels nice or it is actually doing something for my skin. I don't want to keep using it if it's going to break me out.

From what I've heard, most people like cetaphil so I would also keep going with it :)

Cetaphil. When my older sister used proactive it didn't react well at all and left her with more breakouts than she had to begin with.

A lot of people have broken out after stopping proactive. I personally prefer cerave over the two.

My cousin uses proactive and used to use cetaphil. She's been using proactive for 3 months now and her skin has never looked better. For tons of people proactive breaks them out, but for tons of people it works really well.
I personally found cetaphil way to drying for me. Cerave (sp?) was okay though.

Do not use proactive...it broke out me and all my friends and family that tried it! Something gentle like cetaphil or cerave is much better...I like cerave the best:)

I've been using proactiv for quite a while and it works for me. However, I've been trying cetaphil and I feel like that works best for my acne since it gets rid of it faster than the proactiv does. Use whatever works for your skin best. I prefer Cetaphil.

I use proactiv and it worked wonders for me, it broke me out a first but after a while it cleared me up but my sister is trying cetaphil and she says it works for her and I just tried it today and it seems fine.
