I stopped using the proactive i think it was just too strong for me. I didnt have alot of acne but i realize when the weather is changing i do get them so i used a daily facewash by oil of olay. Also i have tried this and it does work, you know sometimes there's a big pimple that shows up and it hurts, well touching it with some lemon or lime juices dries it up. I did this a couple of times, mostly before i went to bed or if i was going to be home all day and it does infact dries the pimple up.
