Acne YuCK! F/15
ive got acne and its actaully getting better but i want it to clear up. Ive been using proactiv and it gets better all the time, but i was wondering if where you have the acne affects how you get it? Like if somebody has bangs thats usually why they have acne on theyre forhead, becuase it gets sweaty and so on. Well i have it like on my cheeks like collarbone i guess, could i do something to stop it and prevent further breakouts?

Tips that I learned from internet and magazine sources:
It's great you are using ProActive. Like what the others said, it takes time for the full effects to be shown (a month or so)
And doing the simplest things such as:
Doing your hair first, then clean your face. It is true that bangs can cause pimples. Oils from your hair get onto your skin. Which is why it's important your hair is clean and maintained.. and it's better to pull it up to decrease bacteria on the forehead.
Also, making sure your face is cleaned like what the proactive says (ranging 1 to 3 times a day). The Salicylic Acid minimizes Bacteria on the skin, but it's also important that if you play sports, you make sure you clean your face. The sweat can clog pores and make you breakout.
Also, some makeup products can cause pimples. If you use makeup, make sure it says it's thin, and it won't clog pores.
And with your cheeks and collarbone, with the Proactive stuff, aim for those places the most.
There are also oil sheets out there that if you rub the sheets against your face it removes oil on your skin, without removing makeup on your face. That really helps. You can use that freely with ProActive but the sheets cost like 4 dollars. (You can find them pretty much anywhere)
Eating a healthy diet can decrease the risk of pimples. I mean, a few cookies won't hurt you of course, but eating healthy keeps your skin healthy.
Hope I helped =]

like the person below me said, give proactiv a good while. the results sometimes come slow.
if you're really, really fed up though, have your parents schedule you a dermatologist appointment. they'll most likely give you the "diferin" stuff you see on TV sometimes and maybe a pill or something. but trust me, this stuff works wonders. it did for me and my friend, anyway. :)

Give Proactiv time. I have it, too, and it's done miracles.
