Dry skin from Using Proactive Pllllllllllz Help!!!!!!!!?
Stop using Pro-active immediately. It doesn't work for everyone and it is certainly not working for you. Go to your doctor and they will prescribe you with antibiotics, either pills or a gel to apply dependeing on how bad it is. This is the only way to get rid of acne forever without damaging your skin.


I really don't understand why there is a market for this sort of thing when the solution is so easy...

Reply:I just had a professional consulatation a few weeks ago and was told that it is one of the worst things you can use on your face for multiple reasons. It will continue to dry your face out if you keep using it and you will age quicker. As far as the acne goes, Merle Norman has a product that they have used for decades on breakouts. It is a pink gel that you put on your face with a brush and let sit for about 20 minutes. It smells like bathroom cleaner but wow does it work. Last week I had 4 spots on my face and used it. I now have NONE! I can't remember the exact name of it, but if you go to a Merle Norman store and ask, they should be able to tell you. Start putting moisturizer on your face now.
Reply:you medical lotion that usually says "for severe dry skin" on it.
Reply:i have been using Proactive since I saw it in the commercial on TV.Yes at first you feel the changes and tightness. It depends upon the reaction of your skin to the chemicals.








But then again, if you are trying to clarify your skin or want to remove acnes do not spend much money for expensive products.





Try to consult to a dermatologist: I have consulted already and she gave me an antibiotic lotion and a AHA soap that can help. It really works... if your have sensitive skin, you must not make experiment to beauty products it would ruin your face. Clindamycin and AHA soap are the best...you can buy it exclusively to a registered dermatologist to his/her clinic.
Reply:Proactive was horrible to my skin so was Neutrogena %26amp; Arbonne's skin care line. They all have the same ingredient Salicylic Acid. I'm reseaching cures through diet. Stop using the product it won't get better. I've used about a half a dozen different ones with the same ingredients.
