Proactive users...?

Question

I've been a loyal proactive user for 3 years! Love it, lately I've broken out, so I'm using the mask 2-3 times a week and washing my face twice daily...the area (side of my lower chin) where I break out the most is itchy and dry...is this normal? I'm starting to clear but it's the big one's that hurt. I've had them for 2 weeks now...what else can I do?

Answer 1

You have to attack acne where it starts, with your diet. For me, diet was the cause and solution. Topical medications fight the symptoms. Start by eliminating trans fats and eating more fruits and vegetables. Once you start cleaning up the inside of your body, by eating properly, the outside of your body (your skin) will be get cleaned up too. I started a website to document my problem and solution.

You might find it helpful to read my story. Just remember to eat an all natural/organic diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Stay away from processed foods. Use mild, all natural cleansers and don't pick at your face. Get lots of sleep and enough water for your body weight. Remember, clean body = clean skin. While you're waiting for your skin to clear, remind yourself that acne is a challenge that you will overcome soon. Once you're rid of it, tell all your friends how you did it. That's what I'm doing. God Bless.

Answer 2

Yeah if you use of full on some patches get dry. I would switch to using a normal cleanser or skipping the lotion once every day, do it normal the other time.

Also try using an exfoliant to clear the dry skin and using moisturiser after the lotion (remember to wait 5 mins to absorb)

I'm sorry but proactive don't work for me. Ive used it for several months now nothing has change not one single pimple has left my face.DEAD SERIOUS.I think you should find something else to use to suit you and your skin because it sound like a skin irritation to me good luck you ,you much love :)

Answer 4

I try proactive and got worser break outs. Stopped and never touched it again. I suggest switching to something else.

Answer 5

Proactive doesn't work because my sister tried it and she never bothered using the product again. I say, go with Clearisil.

Answer 6

i think proactive doesn't work because it just make your breakouts worse, think of it, maybe you have to try another acne products, because proactive use benzoyl peroxide and sometimes it irritate skin
