Default AcneFree (from Target) making skin worse?

I'm trying the three-step AcneFree products from Target, but my skin feels awful--dry and oily at the same time! It says to use it twice a day and I definitely feel like I need to wash my face twice a day just to stand the oily feeling of it. Anyone else use this?

I don't use this, but I used to use Proactiv. . . .

Did you let your skin acclimate to the lotion in the kit? I think AcneFree uses benzoyl peroxide, which can be harsh if your skin isn't used to it.

I would try just using the cleanser and toner for a week or so, using the lotion only at night, and see what happens.

Yes it is aweful, my mom bought me this a few years back and everytime I tried using it it would make my pores excrete more oil and feel tight at the same time. I don't know why they compare it to proactive, maybe that is why they keep lowering the price of it..it doesn't work.

I like the AcneFree Terminator 10 stuff. I have the face wash from them too, that calims to be exfoliating - but I don't care for the face wash. I like St Ives or Biore better.

Oooh, I got this stuff and it's doing wonders for my skin!

After just 24 hours, almost all the redness had disappeared from my chin and t-zone. I was very impressed with it.

Been using for a couple weeks now.... so lets hope it keeps doing it's job!

I have used the terminator 10... that seemed to work ok. You know what made me break out big time? The oxy bar soap. I had that for my shoulders that broke out a bit and it made me REALLY break out I was so sad!
