Old Proactiv?
New Proactiv?
Clinique?
Perfect Skin?
AcneFree?
Something else?
Skin I.D.?
And how fast did you notice your skin was considerably better? I liked AcneFree but they changed the ingredients and made my face swell and unfortunately I had to stop using it 
was 2 years ago. Now I just live with my acne cause I don’t know what to use.
What did the doctor give you? Birth control? I am considering that.

I have very oily and acne prone skin. I’ve used the old and the new proactiv, skinID, acnefree and the neutrogena set.
Honestly, i can’t really tell the difference from the old to the new proactiv. I used to use it in high school and it did clear up my skin, although it made my skin a little dry.
As for Acnefree, I didn’t see much result.
The neutrogena kit didn’t really do anything for me.
For SkinID, it did work a little bit but not dramatically. I used it for a year and it didn’t really clear my skin that much.
So I went back to proactiv with the new formula and I’m seeing more improvement. They include a green tea moisturizer which actually does make my face softer when i use it after the 3 step.
Also, I did go on birth control in january and it did help a lot with my skin. I’m not on it right now but I’m planning to go back on it.
Edit: My acne is mostly cystic acne with some occasional surface acne.
I’ve also heard that the Mario Badescu has really good acne products but I haven’t tried them myself.
I went to a dermatologist. he saved my skin! maybe you could try too. it’s more cost efficient.
i started using proactive a few months ago. i love it!
I actually had to go to the doctor. It has improved my skin by a lot, and I really think it’s worth it.
EDIT: The Dr. Just gave me a really good face wash. I would try that before you go on birth control.
It depends on the kind of skin you have,I have super oily skin,but i dont get bad ance because I was my face every morning and night with Skin Effects by Dr. Jeffrey Dover Cleansing Effects(Gentle Foaming Cleanser for sensitive skin). And i have NO ance. I get 1 pimple about every month. Im not kidding. And I wash my face,but after I wash my face I put on my pimple, Proactive Refining Mask. You can get Skin Effects by Dr.Jeffrey Dover at CVS stores. I really recondmend it.
i use Neutrogena Advanced solutions. it comes in a pack of 3 ( a cleanser, acne cream, and spf lotion) It says to use twice a day but i use it every night, dude it works so well it got rid of my blackheads and every blemish on my face. You might need to put on the lotion after using the acne cream or else your face will feel stiff. It costs about $16 and you can get it at walmart, target, walgreens..
It takes about 4 days to start working
A 5% Benzoyl Peroxide gel I got from my doctor. Nothing from the store has every worked, and ProActive made my skin worse
.
When I first started using it, it took about 3 weeks for my face to clear up. The only bad thing is that you have to keep using it…if I skip a day or too I get a few breakouts.
