What Causes Dryness Of Face After Using Proactiv?
Im 20 and have been using Proactiv the original set for about 4 weeks now, at first it was really good the wash/cleanser is great but after a few minutes makes my face a bit dry so when Im on to step 2 the toner makes my face go red for awhile then i use the reparing day lotion and it kind of stings/irritates only a bit not a lot, i was just wondering if i should keep using it as i have all 6 types of spots especially around my nose and under my eyes, so will it make my face clear up or not please? thanks.

Hi
Overwashing and repeated cleaning of face can cause dryness.Even oily skin needs moisture to stay healthy.
Moisturise your face everyday and avoid rough handling of facial skin. You can stop using the kit for a few days and repeat again.If the spots reoccur,it is better to avoid using the kit.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
