My battle with acne started when I was about 16. By my senior year of high school, I tried just about everything, including proactive. Nothing worked. Finally, I went to my doctor and complained. She prescribed Benzaclin Topical Gel. I mean I used to break out every where on my face, especially my forehead. In about 2 weeks, it worked. In a month, my skin looked very clear. The only issue is, you need to use it consistently, or you will continue to have break outs. I even recommended it to one of my best friends. She began using it last month. She's very happy with it and the difference is noticeable.
Just go to your doctor and you can get it by prescription. Try it, you will not be disappointed. Please, let me know how it works for you.:):D
