   It's probably the proactiv. I used proactiv for a bit and made my face horribly dry. I'd only use it every couple of days if possible, and get a really good moisterizer if you don't already. Proactiv is well known for drying out your face.

   It's probably a combination of the two. Proactiv does dry your skin out. I would suggest reducing the Proactiv to once a day until your face adjusts to it. Also, I would not recommend exfoliating your face but once a week. It is designed to remove the dead skin cells from your face which can cause it to become flaky. As some people have already suggested, I would buy a heavy duty moisturizer to help with the dryness. Try to look for moisturizers that contain Vitamin E. I hope this helps. Source(s): Myself. I use Proactiv and had the same problem.

   well because its the winter, the dry air is really tough on your skin. so instead of using a proactiv moisturizer, you should opt for a heavy moisturizing cream or so. and try using that at night too.
