I started using the 3-step system of Proactiv about a year and a half ago, my skin was lovely for about 9 months, then it started getting very dry. After a while of being dry, it started getting oily. Not just a shine here, a sheen there, totally soaking oily, all over my forehead, nose, chin...everywhere! I still use the 3-step system with benzoyl peroxide, which is a drying ingredient that kills bacteria. I get breakouts almost every day under my nose and chin, and cystic pimples, which is acne that forms under the skin in large lumps that is caused by the pore being clogged with oil and rupturing. Is Proactiv drying out my skin so much that its producing extra oil? Am I growing immune to Proactiv? Help!
Could my Proactiv be the cause of my extremely oily skin?use oxy acne wash or go see the dermatoligist
Could my Proactiv be the cause of my extremely oily skin?YES, I used proactive and I found that it gave me more acne and oily skin and never worked, use neutrogena or clean and clear
Could my Proactiv be the cause of my extremely oily skin?Yep. I've never used Proactiv, but if it overdried your skin then your body will have naturally changed over time to fight that by producing extra oil. I just bought a Neutrogena toner, face wash and mosterizer.... no real need to buy a kit and you can get better quality or more specific if you buy them seperatley...
