Im 15 and a boy, I have been using Proactive and it is working out well, although I never had a acne problem, my mom just started buying me Proactive when I turned 15 (3 months ago) because she knew my hormones would start changing or whatever… Point is, I'm sick of using all of the products and don't feel like spending all this money when I'm older and brining it on vacations, etc. So does just using a facial cleanser like, Cetaphil Daily Cleanser for Gentle Skin, in the mornings and night, work?
BTW, my parents both said they never had a major problem with acne and I am already more than half way through puberty, so don't think thats why I don't have much acne yet…
P.S. I was also thinking that some Clearasil vanishing cream would work when a pimple comes up (the 10% benzoyl peroxide one, and I would apply over night)
THANKS! :[)

For proper skin health you need a minimum of cleanser, toner & moisturizer used twice daily. I would reccomend moving awaybfrom the proactive if you have very few break outs as it will start drying your skin out soon. Look into Dermalogica's clear start. If you really can't deal with 3 steps daily cleanser and moisturizer am & pm will suffice. Clear start has salicylic acid which is best for your typical breakouts, because it exfoliates past the breakouts. Benzo. Peroxide is best for cystic lesions, (inflammed, painful, never really come to a 'head') as it actually dries up the fluid. The Cleat Start Matte Moisture helps to absorb oil while nourishing the skin. I will reccomend exfoliating a few times a week, you don't have to take that traveling.
If you don't really think you'll need it, then don't use it. Keep a bottle near by however for when you do have break-outs. Just use a generic face wash, like clearisil or anything in that kind of name to keep your face clean.That's what I used for my acne, and I have pretty bad history with it. Works just as well
I've tried clearasil and it didn't work for me but maybe with you. Ambi even and clear is amazing 😍 just a hint fa you
