Hi Lucy,
Proactive is a product that is highly buffered. This means that is may
work for awhile and then the products may lose there efficacy. Make
sure that you are not washing or scrubbing your face excessively. If
you do, it will make you break out more. You can ice your face and any
other affected area. By rubbing an ice cube on the affected area, it
will help take down the swelling and help prevent breakouts. Without
using something like benzoyl peroxide ointment, glycolic acid, and/or
salicylic acid, you are likely to have acne for awhile. Most products
worth anything will cost you a little bit of money. If you try the
above suggestions, they may help you until you are able to afford a
skin care regimen.
Best wishes
