I've always had trouble with my face. I've got some Differin that really works & I like it, but it makes me dry out BIG time, so I don't use it unless I've got a really bad one. I tried ProActive & it worked, but made my face really raw (looked & felt like I was wind chapped). I could only use it for a couple of days at a time & then had to quit. Now I'm a consultant for Arbonne & am using our Clear Advantage. It compares to Pro Active, but I find it to be a LOT less harsh. (and no, I'm not jus saying this because I sell it...it REALLY does work for me
) I've been using it for a couploe of months now & my face has really cleared up a lot.
