Really surprised!!
I am actually so surprised at how well I liked this product. I swear I feel like I noticed a difference after using it just one time. I know that sounds crazy, but my skin felt so soft and so smooth. After using it for a week, I noticed a significant difference in the bumps on my skin. Id like to no...

Ehh it's okay
Proactiv changed the formula - a formula i've used for decades and i swear because of the exfoliation i have very few wrinkles and breakouts.

Proactiv Plus Smoothing BHA Cleanser helped me clear buildup without stripping my skin. The texture feels nice on my skin, and it leaves my face feeling soft and clear. I can't wait to see the results after my continued use.

This is great product. I can feel after using this product, I like how smooth my skin. And I can feel my skin becoming drier after using it. So I recommend that people should moisturize well when using this product. It is really not suitable for dry skin because I have combination-oily skin, but my skin still became flaky when I used it. That's why I reduced the usage to once a day instead of twice like at the beginning
Nice Cleanser!

Started using this Proactive Plus Smoothing cleanser for a few weeks now and have been really enjoying it! It feels lightweight but has an exfoliating property to it but doesn't burn my skin , and has left it very soft, not sure if I would say it's my favorite but I would buy it again! Thank you to BzzAgent for sending me this smoothing cleanser to try!
I would buy again

I like this, it's not harsh on the face and yet still feels like it's doing its job cleaning the dirt and oils off while not making my skin feel super dry at the end!
