any proactiv users/previous users?

No. It shouldnt be like that. But it's a shame because proactiv really does work and it actually improves the texture and appearance of your skin as well as acne.

-You have to get your skin used to the product so use it just once a day for a week and then you can start using it twice a day

-sometimes when you introduce a new regimen to your skin, it can get irritated.

everyone deserves clear, radiant skin

good luckk : )

i would suggest using proactiv properly every other day for the first week or two so your face can get used to the benezoyl peroxide ... another reason might be because you arent using a oil free moisturizer? or you are over using steps 1 & 3? the proper way to use proactiv is to use the toner and moisturizer in the morning, and all 3 steps plus the moisturizer at night.. plus the refining mask as a spot treatment... a lot of people do believe that your ance gets worse before it improves this is due to the products pulling all the dirt and oil out of your pores.. but if its red your probably over using or not moisturizing.. there is a SMALL chance you are allergic to benezoyl peroxide but small chance hope this helps

no its not. proactiv works differently for different people. if it's been 5 days and your skin is irritated, then it's not for you. it has benzoyl peroxide in it which dries the skin severely. proactiv seems to get rid of acne only while on it, then while off, it comes right back. stop using it before anything else, and your better off going to a derm. and getting a prescription cleanser similar to proactiv for about 5$ if you have insurance. (i got a creamy benzoyl cleanser, 4% benzoyl, and duac all together for 15$) and now my face is perfect!

well actually your skin doesnt react to products like face wash for bout 28 days.

for me my skin was very red, and was soo dry i hateee it!

but eventually it gets sooo much better so just keep using the products ive been using them since last summer and my skin is great=]

but if its really that bad try using ur toner like once a day or something

i was my face with the cleanser morning and night. use the toner and lotion at night and in the morning i dont use the toner. it made my skin so much less dry

Yes it actually supposed 2 get worse b4 it gets better

my advice to you is to not stop using it because once you stop using it ur acne is goin to get worse

Trust Me!!! I no!!
