ProActiv works by inducing a chemical burn on your face, similar to unprotected sun exposure. The active ingredient is benzoyl peroxide, which is used to promote skin cancer in lab animals to study skin cancer to look for cures and treatments for skin cancer.
("...followed by topical treatment with benzoyl peroxide, a tumor promoter (20 mg/animal/0.2 ml acetone) twice a week for 1 month...")
There were over 100 study citations on the National Library of Medicine web site showing a causative link between benzoyl peroxide use and skin cancer.

When you induce a chemical burn, it removes layers of skin. These layers would normally be a barrier to protect you from bacteria, dehydration and UV rays of the sun. When you use benzoyl peroxide, you burn off that protective layer and your exposed dehydrated skin is more sensitive to bacterial infections, such as acne, MRSA, sun exposure. When you stop using ProActiv, your skin is left defenseless so you break out even worse because your natural defense system was burned off. So, you need more ProActiv to keep the bacteria killed, while it kills more of your own cells. A horrible circle.

In my opinion, you might not want to use it and help nourish your skin to improve resistance to bacteria without harsh chemicals.

If you want natural, non-toxic, acne control that won't increase your skin cancer or mutated offspring risks click my picture for a link to natural acne control...

Skin is skin as far as race is concerned. The only difference is melanin levels.
