Sorry Puffy, Jessica Simpson, and Lindsay Lohan... but it turns out you haven't found something miraculous after all. A recent segment on the Today show said that local drugstore products for fighting acne prove to be just as effective as Proactive, just without the celebrity endorsements. And, of course, they cost much less.

I've always remembered Proactive more for its impressive list of celebrity spokespeople than anything else. Somehow in the past few years this acne medication became a hot product to endorse. Brooke Shields, Kelly Clarkson, Elle MacPherson, and Vanessa Williams all claim this product has changed their lives. Now that it's been equated with regular drugstore acne medication on national television, I wonder if this "revolutionary skin care system" will lose some of its star power.
