All of the acne around my neck region has disappeared even though I get one huge acne around my right neck when I stress out!! I thoroughly recommend Pro-Activ to any teenager or uni student who suffers acne. I would totally advise them to stay away from Roactane!!

I've used many different product one in particular was (murad) and it sucks. Murad made a mess of my face and proactive is cleaning up after murad so if you have acne I recommend proactive 100% I've been using proactive for almost 2weeks and my skin is looking awsome.

If I skip a few days.... the acne always comes back. I use the Proactiv salicylic acid body scrub with the scrubbing beads as a cleanser on my face which stops the skin peeling, skip the toner, and use a light, but complete covering with the benzoyl peroxide solution. I'm sold on it for life. Luckily we now have a Proactiv kiosk in a nearby mall, so I don't have to use the mail order anymore.
