I’ve been using proactive for a little over a month now and my acne is still there! And it’s drying the hell out of my skin!! I’m using it right too. Put on 1, wash off, 2 with cotton, then 3. I thought it was going down but then one of my zits popped up really bad. Am I not doing something? What should I do? Thnx!!
Try using it before going to bed only, if your face is dirty/greasy in the morning use a gentle cleanser with a low percentage of benzoyle peroxide(Proactive cleanse has 2.5% benzoyle peroxide, get something lower). Then follow with step two and three. If your package came with the Refining Mask use that on newer, tender, red and white pimples(forget about he few day old ones that are going down), try to limit the use of it to 2-4 times a week. If your package came with the Green Tea moisturizer, use it, it won’t cause pimples.
- Try changing out your pillow cases every night before bed(with clean hands). Doing this actaully helped TONS. I use Proactive too, but I noticed after 1-2 months it kind just stopped, my skin WAS better, though. I also wash my bedding(blanket, sheets, etc.) once a week.
- Do NOT touch your face, don’t eat a burger, wipe your hands, think they are clean then then scratch your cheek. Your hands are not clean. Don’t let your friend touch your face either, their hands aren’t clean either.
- Clean your keyboard, mouse, doorknob, remote, light switch, anything you touch regularly with alcohol. i’m not talking 1hr scrub down, just with a cotton ball dampened with some alcohol clean your bedroom doorknob and keyboard, etc. It don’t take more than 2 minutes for everything.
- Keep using the Proactive, it can take up to 6-8 weeks to see any noticeable improvements, much less get rid of EVERYTHING. Also, keep in mind snot every single dot on your face is a pimple or zit, it may just be an acne scar, which can go away in a matter of weeks to months, but they DO go away(unless you picked at it and it is dented in, the darkness will go away, the dent will always be there). Plus scars are often flat, it can be easily covered.
I had the SAME exact problem, a little part of your face turns red too, am i right?
Use Biore .
when you use it, do it in the warm shower, rub allover face, then open your shower door and feel your face feel minty fresh for a few seconds. then slowly wash it off.
promise you after a couple uses , 90% of your acne will go away.
I used it too and it didn’t work. I’ve tried lots of new things. Clean and Clear works well and I like it a lot. Clean and Clear continuous control cleanser and dual action moisturizer work very well that is what i use and my acne is almost gone! Also try facial masks^^
Use it more then once a day an before you go to bed
