What is a great acne solution if you’re allergic to Proactiv?
I have minor acne on my face and scarring acne on my back, which may not seem so bad, but it’s embarrassing when I swim. I’ve tried Stridex, Noxzema, and Clearasil, but they don’t seem to be working. I’m also allergic to the main ingredient in Proactive. Is there any other over-the-counter product that will get rid of acne and prevent it from coming back?
I’m allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide. I’m 99% sure that it’s the ingredient in Proactiv

CyEstra-35. It’s a birth control pill that needs to be prescribed, but it’s the most effective treatment I’ve ever been on (and I’ve been on acutain)
What IS this main ingredient you’re allergic to? They use a lot of the same mixtures in most of the leading acne treatments. AcneFree is probably the best little kit you can purchase, and it certainly works better than proactive.
However, since I don’t know the ingredient you’re talking about, I can’t exactly give you straight answer because you just as well may be allergic to what’s in AcneFree.
I use BeautiControl All Clear products. I don’t like Proactive either.
I find the over-the-counter St. Ives Apricot Scrub works great…my niece who is 13 uses it and it has helped her a lot.
Good luck!
vollball_gal, I started having really bad acne problems beginning when I was 16. I had acne on my shoulders that was really embarrasing. I tried Proactiv, Murad, Zyporex, Oxycerin, and even the Asso Gold Cleaning Bar with dismal results. I wound up visitng a dermatologist. After 2 months nearly all of my acne cleared up. I recommed you try finding a dermatologist that can help. http://www.homeacnecare.com
I’m an acne treatment expert and I must say Acne Free in 3 Days really seems to be one of the most respectable natural treatments on the market right now.
One of my readers found so much success with the program that he wrote this full review.
