I've never used pro active, but for years I tried, I don't know how many different products and nothing helped.
So finally I decided to see a doctor. She prescribed antibiotics and a special gel called Finacea that you should applay once a day. She also told me it would be good to combine the antibiotics with birth control pills to get maximum effect. I don't know how serious your acne is but if you suffer from the same kind of acne as I do, the one that leave lots of scars, you should defenitely see a doctor. I hesitated for a long time cause I felt kind of embarressed going to the doctor and didn't really want to realize how serious my acne actually was. I thought it would grow away but it actually became worse as I grow older.
Now my skin is so much better and I can leave the house without tons of make up
