Elsewhere 33 Share Posted September 19, 2007 My brain is beginning to fall asleep (long day) but I just wanted to jump in here and say DON'T GO BACK TO PROACTIV and to KEEP YOUR HOPE UP! Someone jump in here with something more useful, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastclown 0 Share Posted September 19, 2007 i was the exact opposite, i was on proactiv and started gettin breakouts and came to DKR and now im clear as can be... my advice is to try not to add more moisturizer after the 3 step regimen, and maybe lay off the oil sheets... bacteria gets on your skin throughout the day and if you add moisturizer and put oil sheets all over your face 4 hours into your day, your just helpin the bacteria you've accumulated get under your skin.. oil on the face is good usually, it keeps the bacteria from getting in your pores. only moisturize after you wash your face 2x a day, and keep your face untouched the rest of the day! MAKE SURE you wash your hands w/ anti bacterial soap before they get anywhere near your face.. just little pointers i keep in my head throughout my own day to keep myself acne freeim also a big fan of spraying my sheets and pillow cases w/ lysol every night before i sleep to kill any bacteria my face might by sleeping in..
