I tried Proactive a few years ago and it made my skin red and irritated. it was just too harsh for my sensitive skin.

I use Clinique Acne Solutions Cleansing Bar for Face and Skin at night, along with Clinique Clarifying Lotion 3 (i don't know why its called a lotion, i think of it as a exfoliating toner), and Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Stress Control 3 in 1 Hydrating Acne Treatment as a spot treatment when i feel a zit coming out (i usually get the red under the skin zits that hurt when you touch them). In the morning I use Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Stress Control Power Clear Scrub in the shower.

this is the best routine that i have found for my skin. I started breaking out in middle school and it continued throughout high school. i tried every product on the market and went to a dermatologist to get prescription products too. None of that stuff worked. Then I went away to college, got on birth control pills, and started using Clinique. I think both of those things helped a lot.
