From what I understand, with Proactiv you're paying a lot more for the active ingredients than you have to. The active ingredients you want are a cleanser that has salicyclic acid 2% and then sort of cleanser with Benzoyl peroxide 2% or 10%. (You can work your way up to 10% if needed)
Proactiv costs what, like $40? You can get a Neutrogena cleanser with salicyclic acid for $7 and and OXY cleanser with benzoyl peroxide for $6. You may need some lotion for drying, most of the name brands are fine and don't cost much. Of course I am not a doctor but this is what works for me.
