i tired proactive for my skin and it didn't really work so i have been trying new products and nohting has helped me =( i tried acne free in an orange bottle but it just made me dry and pimple-ier. do u know of any good products that i could use?? i'd love all ur sugestions!!!!!! :)

A lot of those "pimple reducer" cure-all packages have BAD side effects for some people. I have tried a few of those with the same exact results: dry, flaky, and even more irritated skin. I have found that the best solution is to get either a mask or pimple cream, and just apply to that zit (NOT TO ENTIRE FACE). This way the pimple will be effected but not the rest of your normal skin. You can put this on about an hour before bed and sleep with it, or you can put it on while laying around the house and take off before bed.

I've tried proactiv, neutrogena, and others, and surprisingly, this is the thing that worked for me.
