The key is to fight your acne both from outside (topical) and inside.
Different acne treatments work differently for different people ;-) but I have compiled some info on Proactiv for you, based on reported experience:
Proactiv Negatives
===================
- irritating
- dry out skin
- expensive to keep having it sent to you month after month
- clear face up, but as soon as you stop using it the acne might come back
- it bleaches the cloth...
- doesn't seem to work as well on blackheads
- skin became darker
- temporarily red in areas
- slight burning sensation when applying toner/repairing lotion
Proactiv Positives
===================
- really does work
- clears your face up pretty quickly
- leaves your face feeling soft
- reduce the appearance of pores
Go ahead and go back on it. Give it a try. If it doesn't show any clear improvement within a week and a half, make an appointment with a dermatologist and they will perscribe you something that will clear your skin right up.
My skin is TERRIBLE. I use the Dermalogica skin care line and I have been very happy with it.
If it helped before, it will probably help again. If you see no improvement, see a dermatologist. They'll probably give you a skin-specific antibiotic and Retin-A if the proactive failed to work.
