Proactiv worked great for me when I was a teen and had regular teenage acne. I used it for a few years, and it kept most of the breakouts at bay. Now that I'm older I've tried just about everything, and nothing helps. I'm 26 now and it's sad to have worse skin than I did ten years ago!
I even bought the Proactiv mask after seeing the commercials about putting it on a bad blemish at night and waking up with it gone. I'd never used it that way so I thought I'd try it. I hate to say I wasted my money but I did. I tried it for two consecutive nights last week and I've still got a huge cyst on my face.
I think products tend to work best for me if I switch every few months. Until we can get our hormones sorted out I'm afriad for a lot of us there just isn't a topical cure.
