Proactiv refining mask?

Question

i have been using proactiv for nearly a month now and it seems to be working. the past 2 days i noticed some pimples coming. i want to use proactiv refining mast tonight but i was not sure how to use it. i used it once or twice before but it didnt seem to make a difference. I would highly appreciate it if you could give me directions on how to apply it before i go to bed and how to wash it off it the morning. If you have any tips or helpful suggestions for when i use proactive ( not necessarly the refining mask ) which would make my acne dissapear quicker feel free to share.

thank you very much!

Answer 1

Actually after a few weeks of Proactiv your body creates an immunity to it and it stops working. I tried Proactiv but it made my face itchy and red BUT I did use the Refining Mask. I don't remember anything about leaving it overnight. I'm pretty sure you apply it on a clean face and wash with warm water after 10-15 minutes. I loved the Refining Mask, it works wonders.

When your skin stop responding to Proactiv I would suggest Olay Pore Foam Cleanser or something like that. It's very gentle, soft and not nearly as time consuming as Proactiv. Also, buy an exfoliating scrub thing for your face to get rid of the dead skin cells. And use a mask four times a week, doesn't have to be Proactiv mask, but some type of cleansing mask.

Answer 2

use it once before you go to bed every night.

i know it says like once or twice a week but every night works for me.

Answer 3

i just dot the refining mask on my pimples, let it sit for a while, sometimes overnight, then wash it off.

i don't know if it does anything, but it seems to reduce the redness a little.

Answer 4

omg my freind had the same problem.

she had been using proactive for about 3 months then all the sudden she started getting MAJOR brakeouts and used the refining mask. you just apply it to the blemishes before you got to bed, and wash it off in the morning.

Answer 5

Well, last I heard you're supposed to apply it only on areas that you want acne to go away. Not literally entire face.

Next you're only supposed to leave it on for 10-15 minutes.

Then Rinse :o

That stuff is seriously amazing! I dot some on my zits before i go to bed and when i wake up, there dryed up. Dont use it all over your face because its very expesnive and you dont get enough. Just use it on places you need the most
