Dermatologist Questions Acne

Do you recommend Proactiv?

I'm looking for acne cleansing products for my teenage daughter. I know Proativ has been around for a while, and I think she could definitely work with that routine. Should I get it for her? If not, what else do you recommend?

Differin acne gel and benzoyl peroxide (I suggest Acne Free 2.5% benzoyl peroxide) are significantly cheaper than Proactiv. Proactiv MD is benzoyl peroxide and adapalene (same as Differin), but much more expensive. If she's developing scarring, please see a board certified dermatologist to stop the process more rapidly.
