I used it for about 2 months and all it did was make my skin feel cleaner but I still get pimples and it just seems like a rip. Its too expensive!

The problem is almost all of the acne medicines contain benzoyle peroxide. Go to beeroyalproducts.com. They have an acne line that has products that have the benzoyle peroxide just like ProActiv but they also have some that contain sulfur. If the benzoyle peroxide is not working for you then you should try something with sulfur. You don't have to buy the whole line just scroll down and find the Medicated Acne Masque with 10% sulfur. It works better on some people.

THIS WORKS FAST & CHEAP!!! I used Tetracyclin, Proactive, Retina A and had many expensive facials with less than good results. This has worked for me and many many other happy people. Go to pharm.,Drug store, or Walmart, buy "PURPOSE" bar of soap - Blue box - Made by Johnson & Johnson - wash your face with this 2-3x's per day. Also pick up a LOW strength Benzoyl-peroxide cream, apply the cream by dabbing to the individual blemishes.... DONT rub it in works using a oxidation/reduction reaction...DONT over use this or put anywhere else on your face.. It will cause drying and make you look worse. Also, If need which probably will for moisture ASK FOR "NUTRADERM lotion" - the orginal not the new stuff, this works great and wont clog pores or leave a residue on your skin...Additonal TIPS: acne, pimples, etc are frequently cause by a bacteria or hormone issues.... DONT PICK POP POKE (your hands are the dirtiest part of your body) and will cause: infections, spreading of germs, more breakouts and scarring DONT EVER listen to people online who tell you to scrub your sensative skin or use harsh chemicals such as: Lemon juice, vinagar, alcohol, etc... DONT EVER use that APRICOT CRAP!!! DONT USE PROACTIVE- this is expensive and harsh it may kill the bacteria cause also Benzoyl based wash but will irritate skin and cause bleaching of face and neck.... Other similar treatments may work.. also things such as Accutane but have serious side effects.... THIS WORKS FAST AND CHEAP!!! I no longer get expensive facials, take oral antibiotics, or even NEED makeup... I am very happy - Have very good skin... and have many many other happy friends... THANKS again to my WONDERFUL DERMATOLOGIST... TRY THIS!! GOOD LUCK.... PS. "PURPOSE" costs about $3

It was too strong for my daughter,the gritty stuff really made her skin worse. We talked to the Proactiv people and they said that it would clear in six weeks,that was the recommened amount of time to give it a chance. She did,it didn't get better,so she uses a product from NatureMade. She is very happy with it,and it also has stopped the super tiny bumps that are real close together,her skin is smooth for the first time.

Try the acne product that is made by lóreal it is about $20 and has kept my face pretty clear. I have never tried pro activ mainly because I am cheap and they charge way to much.

honey getting pimples is normal just make sure you cleanse your skin and use an astringent daily.
