I have been using Proactiv now for about 2 1/2 weeks. It seemed to work very well at first and I had no problem with dryness or peeling at all. But for the past couple of days now my skin has started to flake and peel, mostly in the chin and neck area. I really didn't notice how bad it was until I came home from work today and looked in the mirror. My skin was flaky all over and looked completely digusting, especially with my foundation. I was completely embarassed that I was seen at work like that.

Does anyone know of a good moisturizer or anything at all that can cure flaky skin in a hurry? I do not want to go to work like this again, and although it doesn't look as bad without foundation, I must continue to wear it because I still have red spots from old breakouts.

Also, I'm afraid if I stop the Proactiv I'll have a major breakout. What would you suggest? A couple of days ago I added MSM (4500mg daily) to my skin care regime... is it possible that the MSM is the cause of the sudden dryness?

I'd appreciate any advice on this... thanks!
