[Acne] Flaky acne spots wont go away!

Hello Everyone!

I've been sent here by the ladies over at r/makeupaddiction!

I am about 5 days in using Proactiv . I get the worst acne spots on my chin area (big underground), slightly up the cheeks, and i'm beginning to find that they are flaky.. especially when i'm trying to put foundation on.. It literally makes it worse. I have seen an overall skin improvement since i started using the proactiv, the areas on my nose and cheeks got alot better and dont have those small flakes(if that makes sense) but these darn flaky/scabby acne bits are not improving! :( I did pick/pop ALOT, like.. 30 mins in the mirror a day! but ive been doing so well at not touching my face at all, and simply leaving the pimples alone!

I have always had oily skin growing up ( I'm 22 now) and within the past year or so i've been getting dry acne and im totally at a loss on how to deal with it.

Does any one have any tips for combating this?
