So here's the scenerio, I got a set of proactive skin care for christmas and started using it that morning. It was working really well and my skin was looking better...

But.. the day after Christmas I left for a snowboarding trip with some friends. Now, I've heard from several sources that Proactive dries out your skin a BUNCH when you first start it, but it was only a day or so after we'd gotten there (and me continuing to use the proactive twice a day, once in the morning and night) that my skin got so dry it started to flake.

I used it once or twice more and then stopped, thinking it was just making my skin worse and worse. So I just started putting moisturizer on my face, hoping to repair it. It's been a week and my skin is still kind of flakey and dry and I don't know how to fix it or if I should start up my proactive again.

I'm also wondering if it was just the proactive that caused this intense reaction of my skin. I'm guessing that it might have been a mixture of the intensely dry air in our cabin from a fire, and the intense cold, plus the proactive..

And as an added bonus, my skin started to break out again today with zits. Should I start the proactive back up? Or should I wait for my face to completely heal again and then start it back up? And how do I heal it effectively? Has anyone else had this happen to them, and what's your experience with proactive skin products? :/

If you need more detail just indicate so and I'll send you another message in your inbox. :] Thank you!

proactive has been known to overly dry out skin ir you have sensitive skin its not good to use. but if not it was the combo and you should use it again.

(Rating: 3) That doesn't really solve my dilemma. :/ You didn't offer any information that would convince me that I should start it up again or not, just repeated what I'm confused about doing.
