Okay. Proactive didnt work that great for me either, and when i got off of it I was worse than when I started. Go to a dermatoligist and ask him about Accutane. You might not have serious enough acne to go on it, but at least ask him. I am on it right now, and even though I am suffering through dry skin, my skin is SOOO much better. Actually, I have no zits, just scars. And you are only on it for 5 months and it is worth it. My sister went on it and she hasnt had a pimple since.

thankyou, i'll try that..although..lol last time i wanted to go to a dermatoligist, it took me about 2-6 months to get an appointment!

I absolutely love giving advice on advicenators. When people ask for my advice in real life, its probably not as good as my responces on advicenators because advicenators gets me thinking. I love helping people and I try to give the best advice I can.
