Severe skin dryness Posted: 04-18-08 21:03pm


I started using Proactive about a day ago, and your supposed to use it 2 times a day. I did for the first 2 days, but on the 3rd day I only used it in the morning as I wasnt home in the evening so I didn't have Proactive with me. The next morning, my face was hard and severly dry, and so I stopped using proactive now, but my skin, especially around my mouth is totally dry and flaky, and it almost looks like my skin has aged, what do i do to stop the dryness? and why does my skin look like its aged? I dont want to use Proactive ever again, so please help me if you can!!! I have even tried mixing baby oil with my Oil of Olay Moisturizer but that lasts for only a couple minutes, and my skin goes back to looking aged, dry and almost darker. PLEASE HELP!!!!

You can try putting on neosporin, olive oil, grapeseed oil, or vaseline on at night...I wouldn't worry about it making the acne worse as dry skin is just as bad for it. I have dry itchy skin all over my face though and I've never been able to get rid of it.
