I use the proactive system everyday but My nose still gets really oily. All other parts of my face aren't like that. I also get a lot of blackheads on my nose and around the area. Recently my nose has been getting red. I never had a problem with my nose getting red. Anything I can use to help this problem?
Thanks

I think proactiv contain a lot of strongly BP. You should use it only when you have got severe acne. For your problem, I think heavy moisture can help it. I recommend cetaphil moisture for sensitive skin.

It sounds a little harsh for your skin. You may wnat to think about trying the Vichy Normaderm line. It is very effective, especailly for blackheads and it is more gentle then Proactive.

I used proactive for a very short period, two weeks, I think. I don't like it at all. You can try obagi to treat acnes. It works very well for me.

Try the PSF balancing oil, sounds weird but it really does work. My forehead is really oily and I use this product.

What do mean 'red'? Is it getting dry and irritated or is it inflamed?

Personally, I like proactiv. I've tried other things to control my acne, but I know it works, so I keep going back to it. I find it's best to use a good moisturizer with it, in the morning (skip the repairing lotion in the morning), and at night over the repairing lotion. Sometimes I don't even use proactiv in the morning. Try using cetaphil in the morning and good moisturizer and see if your problem improves.
