In 6th grade my friend's mother gave me a new proactiv bottle to try. since then my skin has been hyper sensitive to everything. is that possible?

Sensitive skin: It is nearly impossible to develop "extreme skin sensitivity" from something used many years ago. The two may be related--you may have sensitive skin (in 6th grade), and that may be why you did not tolerate Proactiv in the first place. But the Proactiv should not cause sensitive skin. Hope this helps.
