My face has been breaking out bad and I usually have flawless but sensitive skin, is proactive or proactive + helpful?

I use Epiduo and it really works, but I don't know if it only happens to me but it burns a little and in the morning it is really dry so I have to put moisturizer on. But overall I really like it!

Proactiv helped me for a little bit. but I forgot a few days and I broke out like never before. and it didn't clear it up 100% anyways.

I don't use it but I've heard it works well and then if you skip a day or whatever in your routine or you ever stop using it you break out like crazy so I wouldn't recommend it.

Unless you want your skin to get worse and never.get better don't use it! Its horrible.

I like proactive a lot! it doesn't work right away or fast, it works slowly, you will see your redness and acne gone, but it takes a while for it to be gone, using the proactive steps 1,2,3

I would recommend Cetaphil. You can buy a huge bottle of it at Walmart or any drugstore for about $10. I have very sensitive skin and it's honestly worked wonders. I used to have t-zone breakouts and this completely cleared them up, not to mention how fresh and soft it makes my skin feel. There's also a matching moisturizer that's equally great :)

It depends on your skin..for some it works & for others it doesn't... I have oily skin & it works on me! I start breaking out when I don't use it.

What do you recommend?

Acne.org has their own system. I don't often buy stuff online, but they have a drug store alternative to their system. It's basically a gentle cleanser, 2.5% benzoyl peroxide and a non comedogenic moisturizer. Look on their site for more info. It works pretty well, your skin will be dry at first but if you're careful and wait the 1-2 weeks it should clear up.

Btw I would recommend Cetaphil gentle cleanser and daily moisturizer. My benzoyl peroxide is from my Derm.
