A few months ago, my skin went crazy. I started breaking out really badly, my face became extremely oily and I was just a mess. I had acne as a teenager and it improved when I got on the pill, but I still had some major breakouts. In 2007 I started Proactiv and it worked great for me. (I know a lot of people haven't had the same experience with it).
I stopped using Proactiv some time in April 2010 just bc I wanted to try something new...I also got off the pill in June/July 2010. I was fine for a while, but at the end of September, my skin went NUTS. I broke out BAD, and it was mostly concentrated to my chin area, but I did get acne in other places like my cheeks and forehead. I tried all sorts of remedies and nothing worked, until finally I got back on Proactiv and my skin cleared up again. I also went back on BC around the same time, so now I feel like I'm back to "normal" lol. My issue now is that my under eye area is extremely dry. At night, I apply vaseline and I also use Clinique Repairwear intensive eye cream. I try not to use concealer under my eyes bc it just looks caky, and that's with me having the eye cream. It seems that no matter what I try, this problem is not going away. Has anyone experienced or is experiencing the same thing? I alternate betwenn the MAC Pro Longwear concealer which is a liquid concealer, and Eve Pearl's salmon concealer, which is very creamy, and my under eyes still look flaky and dry. Need suggestions, PLEASE.
