    Try proactive the free trial? I hear it works... if you wear makeup, Beauti Control is light on the skin and works nice. They have facial wash for the skin too.

    Well, get some of those concentrated pimple clearing creams. Dab a bit (so that u can see the spot) on the pimple. It'll die down in 2 days max, trust me. ;)

    So Proactive really works? I have a step son that has horrible acne and a son that is starting to get some. Question: Can a 9 year old start to get acne?

    I am 42 and still have acne on my chin. If Proactive works, I will give it a try.

    Hope PrettyLady answers this thread, she is really good with this.

    Proactive really does work, but your going to have to use it more than once... use it once a day and in a week or two (depends on the person) you'll be able to see and feel the results!

    Acne can affect people from ages 10 through 40 and up. Acne can show up as any of the following; congested pores, whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, pustules, or cysts (deep pimples). These blemishes occur wherever there are many oil (sebaceous) glands, mainly on the face, chest, and back.

    Proactive Solution contains benzoyl peroxide and sulfur as the active ingredients to help heal your blackheads and other blemishes. There are over-the counter medications you can use. If you have oily skin all over your face, use a cleanser that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. You can also use topical treatments, such as benzoyl peroxide, resorcinol, salicylic acid, and sulfur to treat acne. However, some over-the counter acne treatments may cause dryness or irritation. If you don't think OTC products are for you, opt for an acne treatment system. Products like Proactive Solution and Mural Complex have been specially created by dermatologists to improve the appearance of acne prone skin. These acne treatment systems can be obtained without a prescription.

    If you haven't been able to control your acne well enough, you may want to consult a dermatologist. A dermatologist can give you topical (externally applied) Antibiotics and Antibacterials, Retinoids, Oral antibiotics or Isotretinoin (Accutane) to clear up your skin problem.

    I use clearasil, pimple treatment cream.

    Its vanishing so you don't have to worry about cream marks. Comes in those small 25ml tubes or w/e.

    I use it every night that I remember, before I sleep.

    To zap your zits fast you can use "sudocrem"... its a cream that you use for rashes and other things such as acne! Don't put it all over your face though or you will dry up. Also toothpaste works but not as fast. Other ways to get your skin looking healthy is to eat fish because the oils help your skin, and drinking water helps too! :)

    Sometimes you don't even have to use a cream. There are some simple techniques. I don't know if you've tried this before, but...

    1) Wash your face in the morning with warm water. Use a special soap for your face, because some hand soaps actually clog pores.
    2) Always pat your face dry.
    3) Drink plenty of water.
    4) Wash your face at night with cold water. (I don't know if others have agreed, but it definetely worked for me).

    I followed these steps and my skin is clean and clear. I've been suffering from acne for 3 years, but this worked for me.

    And if by any chance, you have the urge to pop a pimple, cover it with a warm or hot towel to open up the pore, and after you pop it, put cold water on it to close the pore back u again and put a little dab of toothpaste afterwards to reduce inflammation or redness.

    After acne clears up, then here comes the black or red marks from the pimples. How can those marks be taken out without bleeching the entire face causing discoloration?

    1. Nourish your skin by eating a healthy and balanced diet.
    2. Drink lots of water to maintain the skin's elasticity.
    3. Exercise regularly for good circulation.
    4. Cleanse your face—then tone, moisturize, and exfoliate.
    5. Protect your skin from the sun and harsh weather
    6. Get plenty of good-quality rest.

    Not only you but all the people using proactive I'm sorry but if you ever noticed how it bleaches your towels IMAGINE what it does to your face...
    I don't like proactive and yes I have tried it. I have also tried acnefree or w.e that is.. that's another... I think there's too much peroxide in it.. just my opinion though.
