Proactive hurts my skin!?

So, I got Proactive about four days ago and I have been using it in the morning and at night.. Two days ago I noticed that after I put on step two, my chin and the skin along my jaw began to burn. Now, it burns badly and the skin dries up even after I put on the lotion. I'm at the point where I'm only using it at night.. but I don't think this is normal, is it?
Proactive hurts my skin!?
proactive suckssss..





use something different cause you just wasted your money on that crap.

Proactive hurts my skin!?
Please stop using it!





You're getting a reaction, and if you continue using it you will damage your skin and it will go really red and dry.








Stop using it and get a gentle cleanser from Lush.





I use 'Angels on Bare Skin'. Its lovely

Reply:IT HAS A LOT OF ALCOHOL IN IT.


try something from avon, less burning, more working.


alcohol makes the skin (especially on the face) burn and get dried up. ive had exema, but also have some acne problems when its my time of the month. so i tried proactive and it burned like crazy, then i got something from a makeup company (pretty sure avon) and it works really well. try it!!


hope this helped :)
Reply:Use Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash.


It works Really good and fast. I use It every morning and night.


And My Acne is almost gone, and I started using it like 3 days ago.


you should try it.





What proactive has in it, is a chemical that makes your skin start start burning.


Proactive Sucks.

Reply:Well, it's normal if you're using it too often, and if you're asking this question, then you have either not read the instructions, or have forgotten what you read.





The instructions say that you should use it regularly, and if you develop sensitivity to it, esp. at the beginning, then cut down to once a day, every other day, etc.





ProActive is a powerful product. The cleanser has little smooth scrubbing beads in it and benzoyl peroxide that are powerful; the toner is a fruit acid; the repair lotion has more benzoyl peroxde. Use it the way the instructions say, not over-zealously to try and expedite the process. Use all three of the basic products together, as your acne has three stages, and if you don't address them all, together, you will see a slight improvement in one stage, but still have the acne in the other stages. I suspect people who say it doesn't work haven't used it correctly. It does work.





ProActive instructions also say that it is compatible with other skin care products you use that don't break you out, maybe milder facial cleansers. So alternate ProActive with that and see if your sensitivity improves. I use it in the morning in the shower, but at night I use Cetaphil mixed with sweet almond oil to remove my makeup. I had persisent acne for 15+ years, and my skin is always dependably clear and not at all dry thanks to ProActive. The repair lotion has soothing botanicals in it, and the combination of products, used appropriately, should not burn your skin. I'm older, with sensitive skin, and if ProActive doesn't make my skin burn, it's pretty gentle. You have to use it appropriately.





A few people have a reaction to the benzoyl peroxide--not many, but a few--and if you cut back on the application, but still have the burning, then you might need to find an effective product that uses something like salicylic acid instead of the benzoyl peroxide. There are lots of great skin care products out there, but if you have acne, they won't do you much good unless you use them with a product that controls the acne. The good thing I've found is that you can use ProActive AND another product line together with no problem.





That's what I know.
Reply:not that is not normal I would stop using it. I tried it and it did not harm my skin but it did nothing. What works for some peope does not work for everyone. like I said stop using it and look for something else. Mabey go to the doctor and tell her what it did to your skin and ask if she knows of anything thatm ight work better.
Reply:my manager use proactive and the red wash cloth she use was bleached after the first use. she never used it again her and i both use arbonne clenser and toner it doesn't have the alcohol so it won't burn your face and it works!!
