Answer 1

Try AcneFree instead of Proactiv. AcneFree is the same type of product, but it's sold over-the-counter at Walgreens and Walmart. Much cheaper, too. It worked for me in my days of blemishes.

Answer 2

I've found proactiv clears up the acne scars... and it should have worked by now it takes a month or two to work, not a year. It can dry your face if you over-use it and that can cause more breakouts so I'd stick with twice a day.

It doesn't work for everyone. Maybe your acne is caused by stress or bacteria or something else. Go to a dermatologist and they can recommend something else to try.

Answer 3

It could be that twice a day is too much for your skin. It may be over drying your skin so that it over produces oil and makes you break out even more. I only use it once a day, because it will dry my skin out too much if I use it more than that. Try going down to once and if that doesn't work, you probably need to try something else.
