21yr old female with minor acne&blemishes& scars. i have combination skin (use2be oily maybe products strip natural oils)should i try proactive

Acne treatment: Proactive works well for many people but will likely not address scars or blemishes. As a jump start you may like to consider a salicylic acid chemical peel by a medical esthetician most often found in plastic surgery or dermatology offices.
