Well, it depends on how bad your face is like for example me i am trying so hard to get rid of my acne scars because most of them is filled all over my cheeks which is so embarassing that i sometimes cover them up and yet some would still show based on how bad i have botherd it or how dry and red they are so i had used peroxide 2% before and i figured i needed something a bit more stronger so my doctor reccomened peroxide 4% wash which is better and stronger which my face needs. But if your face isn't really that bad and your over reacting then something to strong for your face woldn't be a good idea. Procative isn't always a good idea because it can sometimes worsen your face and if you stop using it, pimples may come back which means you would always have to by it everytime you would be finished. In my opinion i would not use proactive because i know some people that have used it and it barely did anything.
