I have the occasional outbreak nothing too bad usually just hormonal does it help you're skin?

No. It's way too harsh to be using on your face. It uses benzoyl peroxide to bleach your face. Anything that can change the color of your towels is bad, in my book. It's also very volatile, and you have to be careful what you use it with. My sister used it, and then applied sunscreen, and her entire face broke out in bright red hives. I don't recommend it at all.

Nobody likes it lol. bad for your skin. if you stop you'll probably break out worse. tea tree oil helps with breakouts.

I used it a few years ago and it was so bad it made my face so dry and flaky but that's because I didn't moisturize after and I wasn't using it right. I tried using it again recently and is honestly amazing it's cleared up ALL of my and and has even lightened my acne scars. It definitely isn't for everyone but it worked wonders for me!

Proactive is horrible. I broke out worse with it and now I have scars.

Proactive helped me a little bit, but it actually isn't good for your skin. Use tea tree oil!

For me, it dried my skin out. Plus, there were a lot of different steps and everything had to be used in a certain order. It was too much work for only mediocre results

I tried Proactive on three different occasions and it dried my skin out, made me break out (not purge). The one and only cleansing 'system' I believe works for the majority of people is the OCM (Oil Cleansing Method), which has literally taken my skin from a disaster area of dry, gross, acne-prone skin to glowing, clear, healthy skin. A lot of people are skeptical of OCM but I think as long as you use the appropriate mixture of noncomediogenic or low-comediogenic oils you can not go wrong. I personally use a mix of (all organic) half castor oil, half sweet almond oil to cleanse my face and then moisturize with the almond oil. Look up some info on OCM and give it a try. It really does work wonders!

I stopped using it a few days after I purchased it. It was too harsh for my skin and caused me breakouts.
