Try Murad, its like proactiv but it has better results, especially for people who have tried proactiv and had no results. U might be able to get it at a drug store but I get it at the beauty supply store ULTA. Its worth a shot. I used proactive for a year. It only worked for about the first week I got it. I kept hoping it would "kick in" and gave it some time but it just doesnt work for some people. Plus it has skin lighteners in it so when u use it in the summer, ur face will be much lighter than the rest of ur body, that is if u tan. Give Murad a chance though, it has helped with my acne ALOT.

I used a product that has 3 steps like you did and it didn't help me either, so I went to Target and go the St. Ives cleanser. It has different cleansers for different types of skin, so you can use that. It's only 3 dollars and it has medication in it, but it has a good scent. Hope I helped.

Well you might have to go to the dermatologist for this because I did but i've been on Differin and I really like it.But if you wanna just find one at a drug store I suggest this Neutrogina 3-step face wash,it takes a couple weeks to get real results but if you stick with it then it really starts to work,hope thats helps!

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...
Get Rid Of Acne Permanently?

anything with bezoylperoxide (the ingredient in all acne fighting medicine) in it will dry out your face, given you dont use a daily moisturizer
proactiv actually has a very low level of it, i think its like 2% or something. other drugstore products, like ZAP acne control, has 5%, and will severely dry out your skin with just one application.
try an acne fighting medicine with salicylic acid, its more gentel for the skin. try something from neutrogena or clearisal ultra

If you are a teen or young adult I would try Mary Kay Velocity. It's made for teens and young adults. Plus it's just a cleanser and moisturizer. I've seen it work on others. Or try their acne treatment gel. Or...if you are an adult I would try the Miracle Set. It's expensive but works.

I personally use Clean & Clear. I used it for a month nonstop and my face was so clear and spotless! I got it at Target, but I have seen it at Walgreens. It's not very expensive and it works really well. I hope this helps and good luck!
