You see changes the very next day. They aren’t MAJOR changes but your skin gets softer. By atleast a week your skin will look FLAWLESS! You must use it every day though!

well i use acnefree witch is just a cheaper version of proactive and it started working 4 me in 3 days

This is going to be a long night of answering acne questions which people seem to know nothing about.

BP cream (aka benzoyl peroxide) is what is in Proactive. You can go to your local grociery store and buy BP cream (2.5%/5% in Vanishing or Cover-up) form. The reason they don’t have 10% is it is too strong and studies show that 10% burns your face longer, keeps it red longer and does no more than 2.5%/5%.

Go to and read the forums. Thousands of members, with thousands of acne options. Read, read, read and find which options are best for you. You may be at the point where your acne is severe enough that it is time to head to a prescription medicine.

Sorry, but I get annoyed when people get suckered into companies that sell something that they say works, when they can go and buy the same product for 90% less.

EDIT: I went on Accutane once before I started my BP regimen. Honestly, it screwed me up badly. I had the most severe depression I thought I could ever have. However, it seemed like every person that had it bad like me another 9 accutane users were fine. In the end, I was really glad I went on it because I walked away with really only one scar, which people say, “hey you had chicken pocks.”

I started seeing redness decrease in the first month from the toner. After 2 months it started really working better. I also use an antibiotic topical solution that I got from a dermatologist. If your acne does not get better soon you might want to see one. That is the only way you can get the antibiotic soln and some other options.

After 1 week, but after that it seems not working anymore. During the treatment, I still got small and cystic pimple, it really dont clear my face face totally.
