Well, for me it seemed like the spots cleared up quicker than when I used other stuff. And it cut the new breakouts down by a significant amount, so the old spots weren't replaced with new ones. The spots should fade significantly in like 3 weeks or so, or at least that's what happened for me.Retin-A really burned my skin and made it peel an awful lot, so I wouldn't reccomend it. Proactiv's worked best for me so far, and I've tried a LOT of stuff over the past 11 years. But I feel your pain! Unfortunately, the only way I can think of to get rid of the spots instantaneously (or at least within a few weeks) is to try laser surgery...and even that might not be a definite. Good luck!
