Proactive is: benzoyl peroxide higher strength. if your acne are cystic or pustular you will need either antibiotic or Accutane. talk to your doctor.

Proactive-mild acne: Proactive generally works well for mild acne; If you have pustules or any scarring from acne you should see your doctor or dermatologist for best acne clearing results
