A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hey there, ok so im 15 yrs old and I started breaking out bad on my forehead on the left side of my cheek. Im kind of like a drama queen so i couldnt handle it anymore so i went out and bought Proactiv. I started using it for about 2 weeks and it had a burning sensation when i had it on my face, plus it made my face look kind of worse. What does this mean ?? Does it mean that my face isnt use to it, or that I should stop using it, or maybe just temporarily idk. Please help i just want my face to look clean and smooth like it did when i was 10. Thanks

problemmaganet agony aunteither you're allergic to something in it, or it's too strong for you. Everyone at this age is going through puberty, so your face might or might not be smooth again for awhile. Ask your doctor or friends what they use or recommend. good luck!!

You might be allergic to it. Might be worth just going to the doctor and seeing if they can help.

hey, my friends acne got worse after using proactiv. I guess it's too strong for your skin type, but everyone goes through that awful burning sensation.

Lsn try going for natural remedies.

Baking Power has been great for me , at first i used it twice a week but then realized that it made my skin dry, and read about it more on the net, and realsed i shouldnt do it all the time or everyday. so im using it twice a month.

take some baking powder and dab abit of water so that it turns into a paste and slab it on ur face or body. ull feel it burn just a bit, but that means its working

Maybe u should wait abit for the Proactiv to work, find out other peoples experience with it.

oh and dont forget to search up baking powder if you don't believe me :)

goodluck!

It probably means your allergic to it. I strongly advise you to stop useing it. Believe it or not the best way to clear up acne is rubbing alchohol because it dries them up.use it on your face twice a day once in the morning and before you go to bed. Do that for a week and i guarantee all your acne will be gone.
