Proactiv Stings So Much!

[Guest grllprops]

is it supposed to?

it's to the point where i want to like, scrub the proactiv off of my face, it stings soooooooo much!

><

how about for you guys?

[Guest Eunice!]

if it stings and hurts that much

thats a bad sign O____o

like it should sting when you put the lotion stuff and its drying

but if it hurts to just scrub it off

bad sign

go to a skin doctor and ask for medication

i found that much more useful than proactiv :]

[Guest jolie pomme]

I think its too harsh for you. Its really best for people with really bad acne. I heard that it doesn't work too well with mild acne. Personally I've never tried it, but I read a lot about it and everyone said they broke out more, or it worked for a month and then got worst. I think its all the ads and celebrity endorsements that make it popular.

[Guest dancingjen]

if its stinging to the point that you want to

scrib it off your face then thats a bad sign.

keep it in moderation. of use less.

if it continues to sting, its best to stop using it.

[Guest charmm]

you probably have really sensitive skin..

same thing happened to my friend.

also, wet your face before putting that scrubby stuff.

if you do it bare-face, it would hurt more.

[Guest Korean_chick]

No it's not supposed to...

Perhaps it's too strong for your skin type.

I've been using it for a little while now...

It tingles a bit but nothing more.

(I CAN'T STAND THE SMELL THOUGH!!!!)

[Guest Rainie]

It's not supposed to. I used it and it only stings on some areas where you have acne, but only for a few seconds. It's probably too strong for your skin.

[Guest miye0nnshii]

It stings because you have bacteria in your pimples

well i have alot of acne on my cheeks lately. ><

like a strawberry. hehe, so should i discontinue it? or use it like once a day?

and i heard it stings cause of the glycose acid or wahtever.

[Guest smiile]

it never stung for me atleast.. but made me breakout moreee....

try using cetaphil. its for VERY SENSITIVE SKIN. made most of my acne gone...

i jsut need to get rid of my scars now TT..TT

[Guest grllprops]

^ 진짜? >,<

i thought cetaphil would make my skin pretty dry.

my mom told me the reason nothing works for me is cause i switch to much on what i use (cause nothings works! aish)

i thought proactive would work really well me for me, cause my friend used it and it went away, but i realized that its cause was done with puberty a coupl' years ago.

hahh.

[Guest smiile]

no , cetaphil makes your skin more moisturized..

like it doesnt bubble up and its so good

ahhh thank you so much !(: but wouldn't it not help me for my acne cause it keeps the oils on my face?

[Guest smiile]

they keep on the essential oils on your face-- the oils you need. the protective oils-oils that protect skin.

plus if your skin has no oils, the body will produce more oils which causes more pimples.

i dont know if it'll work for you, but it worked wonders on me

[Guest grllprops]

맜다! 써볼개. ahhh thankyou

[Guest UNee4Life]

EW PROACTIVE IS THE DEVIL!

hah if your skin is burnning from it, it's probably because you need to get used to it. The part that should burn the MOST is the *Toner*.

I used ProActive for at least a year and it did NOTHING but help my skin break-out more. I have KINDA severe acne and I think it only works for MILD.

I started using it again about a cfew days ago because my other stuff ran out, and STUPID PROACTIVE started breaking out my face AGAIN! so I stopped, I don't think I'm EVER going to go back, it's EVIL!!!

All those celebs are LIARS!!!!!!

[Guest itsf0'y0'mynd]

wut do yoo meen? if its yoor first tyme then yes it supposed to since yoor skin hasnt adjusted to the medication yet. if yoo've been using it for awhile and after yoo use the repair lotion and it stings yoor skin then i guess its supposed to cuz thats wut happens to my skin.....but after lyk 2~3 minutes it gets better

[Guest apples.]

i think its stinging cause you scrubbed it to hard >_<

use it gently.

its either that or your skin is too sensative.\

just a simple tip:

[dont scrub hard...when you grow up your pores are gonna be large]

[Guest bbyxwinnie]

yeahh like everyone said its wayy to strong for ur skin.
