Yea well i've had bad acne for a while now and also tried a bunch of stuff that didnt help. Proactiv didnt work at all and i was on that for over a year. But if your acne is moderate it might work. I went to the dermatologist and he said that my acne was too bad that the pills wouldnt help. But he said to try [B]Accutane[/B] , but when i looked at the side effects of accutane, it was not worth it, like depression and extreme dryness of your body. So I didnt do it but, its up to you. The doctor said the depression was rare, but dryness was sure to happen. You can get retin a micro, which kind of helped, but you have to go to dermatologist to get. Other than that just wash your face and keep it moisturized, which helps more than you think.
