Everyone's skin is different, you could be allergic to it. Have you been using it more than twice a day? It could be as well drying out your skin too much, stop using it for awhile, see how that goes.
Go to a dermatologist and get on Accutane, it's the only thing that works.
Doctors have told me that the problem has to worsen a little before it starts to work.
My sister has been paying for proactive for almost 2 years now and it has not helped her very much ( a little but not a lot ) she recently decided to try washing her face w/her toddler sons baby wash and it has had huge effects. You may want to give this a try if proactive isnt working for you.
Oh man, that stinks. :-(
Unfortunately, not every acne products works for everyone. I had the same reaction to ProActiv that you do. I stopped using it, and my skin cleared up. Now all I use is Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Exfoliating Daily Scrub, and I love it.
Keep using it for a few more weeks. The right amount of time to test a beauty product is a minimum of one month. If it's still affecting you negatively, go to a dermatologist. It'll be worth it!
you might want to try st ives apricot facial scrub and a benzoyl peroxide cream like clearactive or clearzit. if you wear makeup wash your face then wipe the makeup off with those wipes and then apply the benzoyl.... eat less oily foods and pay attention to your monthlies. once a fortnight or week use clean and clear astringent .
