Why is the skin under eyes so delicate?

Why is Proactive drying out the skin around my eyes... and creating black circles?

  • It has helped with my breakout but the skin around my eyes is so dry and it has started turning black... hence black circles. I've been using the product for almost ONE month now. What can I do about the circles under my eyes... will they go away. I never had this problem prior to using Proactive. PLEASE HELP!!!

  • Answer:

    Proactiv dries out skin because it's supposed to absorb oil, but sometimes it absorbs too much! You're supposed to moisturize your skin if it gets dry. I would recommend seeing your doctor and getting a prescription acne treatment, it works TONS better. As for the dark circles, I'm almost positive that the Proactiv is unrelated. It could just be a lack of sleep.

Hey I think proactive ingredient is too harsh on your skin. I know you'll benefit a lot from the skin care from L'Bri. L’Bri is pure and natural skin cares that nourish your skin from inside out. It is base natural ingredients, using Aloe as the first ingredient in all of its products. It’s formulated to meet the needs of all skin type. It combine the naturally nourishing and soothing property of Aloe Vera, Vitamins, Herbal Extracts, Deep Ocean Sea Plants, Essential Oils and Botanicals with scientifically advanced ingredients. Maybe you could give it a try from their free sample and other products.

I think you're supposed to moisturize after using it. Hope this helps!

I make sure my eyes are wrinkle-free, by using eye cream DAY and NIGHT. In the AM when I put on makeup, I use a creamy concealer. I've tried MAC and CLINIQUE, I think any brand will do, as long as you have tested it against natural light and that the concealer matches your skin. Look at Oprah w/o makeup! It's all the work of concealer! Better have a concealer over your dark areas than not have any. It makes you look old and haggard. Guys find it a turn off! Happy hunting for the right makeup!
