Proactive is a skin system that they are always trying to sell on tv. Now 11 years ago it rocked, cleared it right up and I have really sensitive skin. Sounds like they might have changed their business practices since then.

I agree with Umpa...this is my area...natural remedies. :D I even make my own homemade whipped raw shea butter.   I alternate between witch hazel and I also bought a little spray bottle in the travel size section of Wal-mart and put green tea in it which is an excellent toner/astringent. 

1 cup of boiling water and a green tea bag.  Let it steep about 10 minutes then let cool then pour in the spray bottle.  You can store it for a week in the frig.  Very refreshing on the skin first thing in the morning and at night. ;)  Your skin/pores will improve as well with regular use.
Peace and blessings,

IzzeT

I wish my skin would get oilier.  I never used to have dry skin and I prefer oily now that   it has turned dry!

One of the things that works great for me (and my girls) is St. Ives Facial Scrub,
I use it EVERY morning in the shower...comes in a medicated version too.
Very cheap at Walmart...
Might help with the dryness...

Well I still havent made whipped shea butter and my skin is still oily. Are you supposed to rub the witch hazel in or just spray it on?

Beebs use it like a astringent, put it on a cotton ball and wipe the oil away. ;)
