A member asked:

How much time should proactiv plus take to completely clear your skin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Give it two weeks: Usually it doesn't work. I'm sorry. The ads are phony; the product is gimmicky, overpriced benzoyl peroxide. If this or real drugstore benzoyl peroxide as tolerated hasn't cleared you in two weeks, nothing you can get on your own will, and you need to get with your personal physician.
