    In the booklet it says it is safe, it does mention in the booklet that some pill is unsafe. I got confused when I read it at first and thought that the Proactive is unsafe.

    I bought mine before I knew I was pregnant because I suddenly broke out in those cyst like acnes really bad (I wonder why ) It didn't do anything then so I stopped using it and now that I am in my second trimester my face has cleared up (glad I am not subscibed to receive it every 2 months now) It does bleach your towels and pillowcases. It is the repairing lotion (step 3) that has the bleaching agent so don't use it at night to avoid bleaching your pillowcases.

    My sister suffers from really bad acne and swears by the stuff but I am not a long enough user of it to be able to give a definate opinion.

    You could always try taking zinc tablets and using tea tree products provided you are not pregnant.

    I'm still using it and it seems to be doing the trick. I find that I just need to make sure that I'm following the routine strictly. The good thing is that you can use the moisturiser as a spot treatment if you want to during the day to help clear it all up faster!
    It hasn't cleared up everything yet but I'm starting to wonder if perhaps I have some scars

    Just make sure that you wash your hands and face thoroughly after use or you could end up with bleach marks on your towels
