Default Proactiv not good for mild Acne Vulgaris
Hi Ladies

I have some pertinent info for you:
If you are experiencing some tiny little bumps all over your forehead, cheeks, neck and even the chest area please know that proactiv will not help. I went to an awesome dermatologist today who let me know that the best method of treatment is:

wash face 2x a day with Clenia foaming wash: http://www.clenia.com/
apply Clindamycin phosphate lotion twice daily
spot treat with differin gel @night: http://www.differin.com/Adults/Default.aspx
rub Ery thromycin 2% pads on other affected areas: chest, back, neck

You may need a prescription for all three prescriptions but honestly I think it's worth it for us Soulcysters to see a good dermatologist who will assist us with this PCOS acne. It's something that is not easily treatable with products like proactiv for instance. I'm sure some have had success but with these disobeying little tiny bumpy acne...we need more help.

Let me know if this helps.

I will also keep you guys updated. The dermatologist says give it 6 weeks.

Hmm good to know. Hope it works out for you. ProActive has been wonderful for me.

The bumps on my chest are all gone!! In just one week I no longer have bumps there. Those Ery thromycin 2% pads are amazing. I just wanted to provide an update. Also the bumps on my forehead are almost completely gone...hurray!
