I've just started using it and my face is so dry I can barely move my face at all! I even use the moisturizer that came with the kit. Has this happened to anyone else? Any moisturizers I should use?
Yes that happened to me...Go to cvs, eckerds or whatever and buy cetaphil moisturizer, that is GREAT...even the dermatologist recommended it.
proactive at first gets you skin very dry as it ***** out all the oil..but wihin a wek and a half 2 weeks..you should be fine...but a moisturizer is good to use too
The good news is in a few days my face is clearing up.
I use Proactiv also but my face is getting very oily now. I never had that problem before.

ahahah bc i used to use proactiv...its weird when i was a teenager i NEVER had pimples...then like 2 years ago about i started breaking out alot, i went to the dermatologist and they put me on retin-a micro which was TOOOOO strong for my face, infact it burned my face a bit...I got so red, you couldnt even touch my face bc it burned, not even water could touch my face...I have very sensitive skin so thats why, then they put me on benzaclyn, its good but that dries out your face even more...So i decided to just try proactiv and it worked great, even gets rid of all your blackheads, and it makes your skin look great. The dermatologist had told me to use cetaphil and i loved it
Oooo i sound like a commercial hahaha

The same thing with me. Everyone used to ask me all the time what I used to keep my face so clear. And now I'm like what happened?!?!?!?! I've been using it for a couple of days and it's clearing up already.
yea same here I get the strangest skin ailments and the doctor told me to strictly use cetaphil, it's very gentle.

I just use the repairing lotion. It works wonders all by itself!!
I am having the same problem with it. It is very drying, but i do think it works. I have something called Naroli Oil by Decleor and I mix a dot of that with the proactive moisturizer, it help sooth and it doesn't feel dry.
I have been using proactiv for like a month now, I get a break out every so often but get pimps in cleavage area due to the gym/sports bra. It works okay but i am not one to go through a entire routine for three to four steps in the morn. It stinks but i am doing it. NO dryness for me yet
OMG I tried Proactiv and I hated it. It worked for a little and than it stopped. I'm going to be honest I work in the beauty industry and that stuff is not great for the skin at all. If you have questions re: skin FM me and I'll give you ideas of what to use. :)
