Ok I found this skin solution products called Exposed and seems it has better ingredients that Proactiv doesn't have like Green Tea, Tea Tree Oil, Licorice Root, Olive Leaf, Azelaic Acid and Salycilic Acid.
Proactv just has Benzoyl Peroxide, Glycolic Acid, Allantoin (Also Exposed has these ingredients).
It costs like 15 bucks more than Proactiv. Seems interesting but I am skeptical about it.
Have you ever tried it before? Does it work? Is it better than Proactiv?
I don't trust Proactiv that much, seeing Jessica Simpson and all those other celebrities promote it doesn't convice me much. Those celebrities also are helped by other professionals that help them control what they eat, how to manage their stress etc, so it's not only Proactiv whats helping them.

personally, proactiv is great. But like any product you have to follow it like they instruct you to and you cant stop using it or the acne comes back. I really suggest you try proactiv and if it dosent work im fairly certain they have a gaurentee where you can return it and get ur money back. Hope that helps

Proactive irritated my skin, making it dry, itchy, red and flaky.
I use the Miracle Set (combination to oily) by Mary Kay. The set will give you younger looking skin, fewer lines, improved firmness, and even skin tone. It's very gentle and will not irritate your face. http://www.marykay.com/adina_k/skincare/antiaging/miracleset_combinationtooily/default.aspx
Be sure to finish your daily skin care routine with a foundation to protect against the elements, and to help your skin look smooth and blemish-free. You can also use a concealer underneath your foundation. Mary Kay's foundations come in 20 different shades and provide stay-true, stay-put color, and controls excess oil for up to eight hours! http://www.marykay.com/adina_k/color/foundations/mediumcoveragefoundation/default.aspx
You can also throw in the Blemish Control Toner 3, which is an acne medication that leaves your skin free of excess oil. http://www.marykay.com/adina_k/skincare/classicbasicskincare/10106500/10106500/default.aspx
The last thing is the Acne Treatment Gel. It will dry and clear blemishes, and allows skin to heal without irritation.

Just be sure to always properly moisturize, even while breaking out. If you don't, your skin will start to produce extra oils to compensate and you'll just break out more.
You can start with what's written above, but I also strongly recommend TimeWise® Even Complexion Essence. It really evens out your natural tone and reverses skin discoloration.

I've never heard of Exposed but my daughter had really bad acne and I sent for some Pro Activ. It cleared her face up in about two weeks. She is still using it, her skin is beautiful and she uses the shampoo and make up articles also. Pro Activ really worked for her.

dip your face in a warm sink of water mixed with hydrogen peroxide.
