How long does it take for proactive to actually work it's been a month now and my face seems to be getting worse! please help me!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: Sometimes acne can get worse before it gets better. The only active ingredient in proactive is benzoyl peroxide. You may need more medication than that so i would either see your family doctor or a dermatologist.
