Questions about switching to Dr Hauschka...

I have been having horrible acne for the last 4 years. I started using Proactiv 3 years ago and it really worked for a long time, but for the last year I have been breaking out again and having HORRIBLE dryness.

I want to start using natural skin products and makeup. I was drawn to the Dr Hauschka line for that reason and because I like the philosophy of not drying the skin to solve oil/acne problems.

So, I went off the Proactiv and started Dr H a week ago. I follow the reccomendations, i.e. not moisturizing at night (very hard for me!), etc. After two days of lovely skin, the horror has begun. My breakout is so bad I don't want to leave the house! This happened the one other time I tried to stop Proactiv a year ago. I am having a combination of cystic acne, whiteheads, and really ruddy, irritated skin.

Will the Dr H eventually work? I am going to stick with it for a month. Has anyone else had these problems?

I'll take any advice/experiences I can get.

Thanks- Andrea
