For me, Pro active did nothing for me, and i was on it for about two or three years. It doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t work for you though, because everyone’s skin acts differently. If you have to chose one, you might want to try the neutrogena kit. The only problem I found with that product was that it dried out my skin. So if it does that for you, then you might need a good lotion to help keep moisture in your skin.

do not get murad… my brother just got it and after four days… his face is gross… its not just pimples they look like gross raw blisters… check if the nuetrogena has benzoyl peroxide… if it doesn’t then use it… if it does find something else… don’t use proactiv its crap… try and get something specifically for blackheads

The combination of Tea Tree Oil soap and the Clindamycin cream is the best for Acne and pimple. These work wonders. Maybe it will work on you too.
Try searching it through Google ‘shopaholic’s bargains’

Try the “unblemish” regimen – it definitely works. I see people all the time with acne and want to tell them about this skin care line I rep, but usually don’t want to go up to them directly for fear of embarrassment (on both parts)…but I KNOW it works! I’ve seen results from family and friends.
give it a try…you will not be disappointed and if it doesn’t work there is a money back guarantee – but I know you won’t need to send it back. It’s made by the same two dermatologists that started Proactiv…
When using the entire regimen, you will receive 5% benzoyl peroxide. 2.5% is the maximum allowed in over-the-counter products.
Good luck!

hey
i have used murad i didnt see much difference in my skin… but it did not overdry my skin which is always a plus… i never used pro-activ and i find it a little bit 2 expensive. my best friends sister used it and it worked at first but after a while she still continued to break out n idk wat she uses now
right now im using clinique’s acne kit but unless u have very oily skin.. i find it wayyy to drying (which sux cuz i absolutly love clinique) also the foam wash… yea while its easy 2 use n comes off easily.. it doesnt have a deep clean…
ok so ur not even looking into clinique… (but hey if sum1 mentions about clinique.. u already have an answer about that) im just waiting for the bottles 2 finish up n then i am going to use neutrogena’s acne kit.. i’ll tell u how it is after i start using it
ok so ur probably like ok y did this girl answer… shes not helping!
well…..
i also have the same problem with blackheads… and i bought the “Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub” which i am using now i LOVE IT! it’s probably the only thing that really got deep into my pores n cleaned them well… i noticed right away that i had a deeper clean.. when i zoomed into the mirror 2 look at my skin closer… there were less! n now my forehead, my nose, and cheeks r clearing up! its also a gentle scrub so it gets rid of dead skin and and because its gentle u can use it everyday or even twice a day but its not so gentle where it doesnt get the job done
there are also conditioning beads that softens ur skin… but doesnt leave ur skin oily at all!
trust me.. give this a shot…
sorry i dont know much about the neutrogena acne kit yet but if blackheads r the problem.. i think u need 2 try something that targets blackheads and not just the pimples
-edit-
some one b4 mentioned about the benzol peroxide in the kits..
i have the bottles with me
(plus im really bored n i like doin stuff like this)
NEUTROGENA
-the skin polishing acne cleanser: salicylic acid 0.5% + microfine beads
-oil-free spf 15 lotion (day): SPF 15 -proprietary botanical comples (helps calms skin and protect it from the sun)
-the acne control lotion (night):
benzoyl peroxide 2.5%
the blackhead eliminating daily scrub has 2% salicylic acid
CLINIQUE
cleansing foam: salicylic acid 2%
clarifying lotion: salicylic acid 1.5% (this is more like a toner btw)
clearing moisturizer: benzoyl peroxide 2.5%
MURAD
cleanser: salicylic acid 1.5%
exfoliating acne treatment gel: salicylic acid 1%
acne spot treatment: sulfur 3%
skin perfecting lotion: nothing…
(no wonder y this one didnt work well for me.. its pretty weak)
PROACTIV
renewing cleanser: benzoyl peroxide 2.5%
Toner: nothing
repairing lotion: benzoyl peroxide 2.5%
i also have a lil secret about pimples… use neosporin or other antibiotic creams that u use on cuts to heal faster… they kill the germs in the pimple and help make it do down faster plus… it heals ur cuts if u popped any… but only use it at night.. n wash it off in the morning otherwise ull have a shine on parts of ur face >.
