[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this isn't what you've asked about, but I swear Proactiv works. It's harsh as crap, but really cleared up my DS's acne. We were just too worried about the side effect to try Accutane. [/quote]

Proactiv is an expensive brand name and expensive celebrity endorsements around generic product.

I remember when it first came out, celebrities who were already famous were  lying that Proactiv gave them their skin looks.

My son isn’t a celebrity and the $30 a month it costs me is well worth his very clear skin. If he even skips one day of washing with it (he washes 2xs an day) he gets acne. [/quote]

In order to be prescribed Accutane at all, one has to have failed other acne treatments. The active ingredients in Proactive are salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. These are the same ingredients in every over-the-counter solution and the first things derms will have patients try. If Proactiv works for your family, that’s fabulous. However, by definition, acne that’s treated with Accutane is treatment resistant acne.[/quote]
