    i tried proactive and it didn't work. i'm pretty much the same as you when it comes to skin. it's not horrible, but bad enough... i use clinique 3 step (face wash, toner, moisturizer) and i swear by it. my skin still isn't perfect, it sounds like mine's a little worse than yours .... but this should do wonders for your skin. youtube reviews on it!

    So I used it a pretty long time ago when I had a few pimples and I skin really wasn't that bad but I was breaking out especially on my period. Anyways this is my experience when I used it. I didn't even use it for one week. I know with any product you're suppose to use it for longer to see results but my skin literally started cracking no matter how much moisturizer I put on (and it was a heavy duty one, there moisturizer didn't work) On top of this my skin was sooo red it was ridiculous. I had to go to school with parched skin. So I stopped using it. I suggest you go to a doctor because you do not want to do this to your skin, if your skin isn't really that bad. You can even go on antibiotics or birth control for it, I've heard that works. Good Luck.

    It doesn't work

    it dries your skin really bad and you get flaky skin

    and it clears some pimples but as soon as you stop using it they

    come back 2x worse ! so no! don't waste your $$$
