I really like this product. I just put a tiny bit directly on the spot, not on my entire face, and it clears the spot up.

It dries out my skin. I have to use more moisturizer (not lotion) afterward, because this unnecessary product dries it out too much. This is average, it used to not work on my acne at all but...

The thing about proactiv is that it seems like it works at first, but it is just a temporary solution and not totally worth your money. I would not rely on this product, no matter how much you...

This dried my skin out big time, turned my face red and flaky (even though I only used it once a day), and did nothing for my zits. In fact, it caused me to break out even worse in little...
