Bad acne fam help pls?
I've been on proactive for about 2 months now and I am still getting new pimples. Also old pimple aren't going away so quick and I am experiencing a lot of scaring. Overall I am not sure if proactive has helped or hurt me. My main question is should I quit proactive? I have been meaning to see a dermatologist but haven't gotten around to it yet, does this sound like a good idea? Am I getting pimples because I'm just 16 and got all the hormones and what not or is it because the proactive is really hurting my skin?

It's a combination. Since you are a teen, you obviously will have more oily skin and more break outs due to hormonal activity and development. However, the proactive could have a negative affect and worsen your condition if your skin is sensitive to it or mildly allergic to an ingredient in proactive. I would recommend to stop using it for a week and see how your skin reacts. I use clearasil and it really works for me, as I too have extremely sensitive skin. Seeing a dermatologist is probably your best bet. Best of luck.

Use a better product - There’s a simple way to deal with cystic and all other forms of acne. Suitable for all skin types.
Niacinamide (aka Niapads ®) anti-acne pads help keep acne away by scrubbing open clogged pores, oily residues and exfoliation. Feel a pimple coming? Just wet a pad, place it on the pimple and remove it when dry. Sit back and watch pimple disappear. Works on body acne too.
These pads also help reduce skin hyperpigmentation (acne scars) and increase skin hydration.
Use it and see the difference.
