proactiv vent
I've been breaking out a bit on my cheeks and neck, and my usual face wash isn't helping. I remembered that Proactiv worked really well for me in high school, so I picked up a trial size.
Well, apparently my skin has become more sensitive because my cheeks, chin, neck, etc, are all red/splotchy/hot. The worst part is that I should know better--I should have tested for sensitivity to it, but I figured I never had a problem before so I wouldn't have a problem now.
The packaging says that if this sort of reaction develops, stop using it for a few days, then use it less frequently. I had this reaction after only using it once!
They offer a money back guarantee if you're not happy with it for any reason. I'm thinking I should just return it and try something less harsh...
I just hate having breakouts--I'm not a teenager anymore!

Re: proactiv vent
I am pretty sure that they changed the formula... after Jennifer Love Hewitt jumped ship to hock their competitor suddenly there were "new and improved" proactiv commercials on tv.
I swear the new formula doesn't work. I never had acne problems, but in college I began having breakouts on my chin from stress. I tried Proactiv and it would wonderfully. Once my face cleared up, I resumed using regular face wash.
Fast forward to a few years later and I began having breakouts again. I immediately purchased Proactiv again, only to find out the new formula sucked and didn't work for my skin.
I am back to having breakouts on my chin which I attribute to stress at work. Hate having breakouts, especially before a work event!
you know when you start acne medicine it initially is worse for a few weeks while all the bacteria that was trapped under the surface comes up and forms pimples.
My skin is pretty sensitive and when I use my Rx medicines, I will dab on a tiny, tiny bit before bed. I've also been instructed to put on a little bit in the early evenings and then rinse your face off after an hour or two.
Glad to hear this. I was at Ulta yesterday picking up a few travel size items for work travel this week and picked up the acne cleanser and toner (travel size) to try.
