I used to break out a TON untill i starting using strydex pads. I know it sounds really corny..but they really work! I use them right before i go to bed. I also use this apricot scrub stuff from st. ives and that works if i use it right before i go to bed. I would try them. Goood luck =]

When I went to the Dermotologist, they gave me wash that had sulfur in it.. you can go back to the Dermotologist, tell him/her that it didn't work, and recommend sulfur facial wash I(If you never got it yet)
I wouldn't recommend ProActive anyway because it sucks in my own opinion.
Did the Dermo give you skin antibiotics in pill form and creams? Because that minimizes bacteria on the skin. That is really effective!
Or either the medication you got was not strong enough.
You can go to the store and buy OTC stuff that includes: Triclosan, which is antibacterial, Salicylic Acid & Benzol Peroxide, which both treats and prevents any common skin problems like blemishes, pimples.
But from my own experience I thought that Salicylic Acid and Triclosan helped the most.
You can find Triclosan in Noxema mainly. And you can find SA in Clean&Clear, Clearasil, and OxyPads.
And if you are on any kind of budget the products I recommended are pretty cheap (maximum they could possibly cost is 8 dollars).
But getting good antibiotics (like 500 mg of it) and sulfur cream is what really helped my skin. So tell your Dermo that the stuff just worsened and he/she will probably recommend you on different stuff or make them stronger.
Hope I helped =]
