Proactiv Help Please!
Posted: 06-04-06 20:38pm

I have been using proactiv these couple of weeks and have seen no results. Here is how I do it and please can you tell me if I am using it correctly.
Step 1: the renewing cleanser. I wet my face and put it on and rub it all over then wash with warm water. Dry my face with a towel.
Step 2: I put on the toner and rub it all over my face and let it dry.
Step 3: I wet my face and put on the mask. Leave it for 10 minutes then wash off with warm water.
Step 4: put the repairing lotion.

This doesn't include the mask
step 1: same as above
step 2: same as above
step 3: put on the repairing lotion.

This is what I have been doing please see if I am doing it incorrectly and if not then proactiv does not work for me. :!: :!:

Okay I don't use proactiv, but my fiancee does. You are doing some steps wrong. I will try to explain and see if this helps :)

1st: he does it when he is in the shower. That part you said sounds right.

2nd: that part is right also. This part drys your face.

3rd: okay he doesn't use the mask part. He has never used the mask part before.

4th: he uses the repairing lotion and lets it dry don't wash it off. This part remoisturize's your face.

See if this helps. Hope so :) good luck

I have been doing all that you said. So I guess proactiv isn't really the dream acne remover?

Also if you are out in the sun alot, it effects the proactiv. It causes your skin to dry out more/ irritates your skin.
