I have heard similar stories from people on this board. Some have stated that their skin has become "addicted" to Proactive and that when they stop using it they breakout. I am trying to ween myself off of it. I am using a mild cleanser, Proactive's toner and repairing lotion...and hope that I won't breakout worse than I am right now (which I am still not happy with...but am taking Spironolactone for...hopefully it will work). In regards to Proactive, sometimes it works, but it hasn't really for me, and many people on this board. And, I have had several skin specialists (facialists, derm.) that have said that proactive is very harsh for a lot of people. But, you have already ordered it, and I don't think it would be harmful to use one kit. If your not satisfied don't use it.
