I also use Proactiv and love it! It's a little pricey but it's been the only thing that has worked for me! Best of luck with this..acne is hard to deal with!!

I used proactive for a long time but I found that it stopped working as well as it did. Maybe I should start to use it again.

I just started using it and I already notice a difference. It is $40 every two months for the package that I purchased, but it is worth it.

Re: What do you use for Acne break outs?
Everyday I switch using BlissLabs Low Fat line - or Dermalogica line, cleanse with facial brush, use the exfoliator, then spalsh 15 times very warm water 15 times cold. Follow with toner. I use eye cream like crazy and leave the rest of my face alone. My skin perfect if I do this religiously. If all eles fails and I need it taken care of ASAP I use the wash and night treatment cream my Dermatologist gave me and make an appt for him to shoot me up with some cortizone.
I also get a professional facial every 3 months. I also take orthro tricylen.

Re: What do you use for Acne break outs?
I haven't washed my face with soap since I was in jr high school - soap dries out my face.
Sometimes I swab my face with witch hazel in the morning. At night I use clyndamiacin (sp?) pledgelets. For breakouts, I use rx strength Brevoxyl 10%.
I've tried Clinique and other products - they just make me break out. I have oily skin - I'm a Greasy Guinea - LOL and still I get dried out if I use anything on my face but warm water or witch hazel.
When I was on ortho-tri-cyclen I broke out worse than when I was 13 - I broke out in cyst-like zits. It was awful. My face finally cleared from the scars - but it took about 1 1/2 years of being off of it before that happened.

I never had a problem with acne. If I do get one, I cover it with Rezamid which works as a cover up as it kills the pimple. The only downfall is it is a little stinky. Hubby can smelly it on my face if he is within two feet of me. He hates that stuff.

Re: What do you use for Acne break outs?
Does this work if you break out due to hormones and lack of sleep?? I think it is also acne but it majorly flares up with those two things

Re: What do you use for Acne break outs?
I use purpose face wash, but I never really had a problem with my skin, even when I was in high school. Knock wood it's all in the genes...
A friend opf mine uses Proactive and LOVES it. She swears by that stuff.

Re: What do you use for Acne break outs?
I wasted a ton of time on antibiotics- even tried Proactive. Went to the dermatologist once a month. I never had terrible acne. I just always broke out with cyst-like pimples just on my chin.
Finally, I went on Accutane!!!!! It is a wonder drug. I have not had one pimple since. You only take it for five months. The only thing I regret is not using it earlier. But I figured because I didn't have awful skin I should not use it. However, I was wrong. My problem area was so recalcitrant that it was the only thing that worked.
Not only do I not have break outs. But it changes the texture of your skin. You can't see any pores and it feels incredibly soft. It is never oily.

Re: What do you use for Acne break outs?
I have terribly oily skin. Foundation slides right off of it (yeah can't wait for my wedding day- ugh)
And I'm on medication that I think makes me break out. I tried proactive, I guess I have to use it long term to see if it works. I also have been on Retin A micro (prescription), didn't do jack ****. I use Rosanil (prescription) and that sorta works - it's a sulfur based medication.
If you get one once in a while - I think Duane Reade or CVS makes a benzoil peroxide (10% which is strong) cream you put on after you wash your face. Cetaphil is supposed to work wonders but I find it very greasy when I use it. But my friend swears by it.
If you breakout alot - first off try to stay off of anything made with refined sugar (most processed foods, white bread, pastas) and that might help. If not I would cut potatos and other carbs for awhile or eat sparingly.
Otherwise probably best to see a dermatologist.
Good luck
ps: I would be careful about Accutane. My dermatologist gave me this booklet about the side effects and I personally decided against taking it.
