i had a bad break-out 4 yrs ago then i started using proactiv. my face got smooth again. BUT now, i am starting to break out again since thanksgiving and proactiv seems not working for me anymore. I want to try using cetaphil again and Vitamin World's Tea Tree Oil Soap. What do you think?

Continue with the tea tree oil soap but do not use the cetaphil also. One product at a time for your face. You can also consider using an acne product that contains tea tree oil in it. If this doesn't help then see the doc for help as acne is caused by the staph bacteria and you may need antibiotic help to get it under control.

I went to a dermatologist for medication-induced acne. He suggested I cut back on sugar. I hadn't thought I consumed all that much sugar, but I started paying attention to labels and did cut back and to my surprise is really did help. The sugars in fruits are OK though. My skin has never quite been the same since then, it breaks out more easily than it ever used to, but I notice it happens more often when I have had a lot of sugar. Before talking to that Dr., I had never heard of a link between sugar and acne.

Check the expiration date of your proactiv. If it is expired, you might need to get some more. I've had that happen to me before. Good luck
