Proactive did nothing for me. I've been on Acutane, minocyclene, tetrocyclene, various topical perscription ointments...the only that has ever worked well for me is Accutane, but there's is no way in hell you'll be able to get that in two weeks. Retin-A is now sold over the counter and in is much better than Proactive, which is just a very small concentration of benzyl peroxide.
Re: NTR: I need some SERIOUS acne help!
#1 - call a dermatologist. they can give you an Rx, as well as cortisone shots to clear up and big ones
#2 - bare minerals makeup. hides anything. it was a life saver for me while i was pg
i've heard this stuff works from a lot of people. i'm allergic to it so i can't use it, but it's worth a shot if you're not!
