I just want to say to be careful with those products. ProActive is ok for RIGHT NOW to take care of blemishes, but it's awful for your skin long-term. The main ingredient is water! It completely dries out your skin. Also - if you are allergic to fragrances, it does contain them. And it contains sorbital! It has aloe in it - but a VERY small amount, much more water.
Also - the lotion for ProActive contains cetearyl alcohol - this dissolves the body's own natural moisturizers and strips the skin of it's own protection! It leaves your skin vulnerble to infection. Alcohols in skin care products destroy the skin's pH balance and since they absorb water (moisture), speed up wrinkling.

Like I said, it's good for a 'quick-fix', but I would never use that stuff, let alone for long term fixing.
