How long does it take for proactive results to show? i understand everyone's face is different but how long before i realize it's not working for me!

Two weeks: "proactiv" is overpriced, half-strength benzoyl peroxide. If you're not clear in two weeks, you're probably one of the 50% of acne patients who need something stronger. Get with your personal physician. Acne's a serious, non-lifestyle-related illness that needs to be managed until it self-cures. Best wishes.
