I've tried Proactiv as well as the knock-off "Acne Free." They both worked for me, but after about 3-4 months of usage with both, my skin began drying out to the point of my face looking like fire ash. I could peel entire chunks off of my face it dried it out so bad. I could put lotion on it, but who wants to lube up your FACE when the reason you have acne is because of oil? I tried going with the system anyway and using lotion but I just ended up with flakes floating around in lotion on my face.
The person who said the acne comes back as soon as you stop is 100% right too - we're talking days. As soon as I stopped using Acne Free (same ingredients as Proactiv) my acne returned to normal in literally 5 days. You have to keep using it or you're fucked.
If anyone can find a way to make it not dry out your face, they all would be excellent products...
