Okay! My cousin has this proactive toner in her bathroom and I need to know if it makes good use, what it does and if I (if needed) to moisturize before or after! Help!

I agree with Jacqlyn, Proactiv products are absolutely horrible so definitely look for something else.

So if I get another toner, use moisturizer afterwords? 😁

Yes you use toner first and then moisturizer. Proactiv works for some and it may not work for all I say try it.

It's trial and error. My brother had really bad acne and we got him Proactiv and turns out he's allergic to benzoyl peroxide, the main chemical ingredient in Proactiv. If you can find an Avon representative in your area I suggest using their acne line. They have a face wash, toner and moisturizer. The main chemical ingredient in the face wash (which is slightly abrasive) is salicylic acid and it works very well. The packaging is grey.

It really is trial and error. It burns my face but my cousin swears by it. She uses anything else or stops using it she'll get her bad acne back. But while using it she loves it.

I've heard more bad than good about proactive. I wouldn't risk it, but if you really want to try it, go for it. and moisturizer comes afterwards.
