Make sure before you start this that you do not have polycystic ovarion disease. This is silent but detrimantal to you by causing acne. If you go to the doctor and they say you don't have it pish posh, I had normal blood tests and everything. FINALLY when they did an ultrasound they saw the cysts. All I needed was to go on yasmin and that's it. Proactive is just the cherry on top of the cake. I get it 3 times a year and it really does make you face glow. Also, while your going through the acne let me tell you that at one of the most famous makeup center starting with a c and ending with a e in most stores like macys or higher end stores there is a dramatically different cover up. It is not meant for all over the face but just at those great spots we can somehow get. I wouldn't write all this if it weren't true. My face is smooth and without any blemishes because I was educated on what to do. Good luck to you.
