I have been using Proactiv
I have been using Proactiv since I was 13 years old. During my late teens, I stopped and used another acne brand. I always came back to Proactiv because not only it helped me with my teen and now adult acne, but it cleared up my skin quickly and I saw results within a week! The cleanser is very soo...

Changed a good thing 😕
New formula alert! The old formula worked wonders for over a decade. I thought I was replenishing once I ran out but was tricked. This is a new formula and does nothing for my skin. The glow is no longer apparent. My skin does not feel smooth and acne returned immediately. Why change a good thing?

I did receive this product for free in exchange for a review! With that being said, this is one of my favorites. I have extremely sensitive skin and this did not cause any irritation and made my skin so smooth and cleared up some bumps I had under my skin. I am extremely picky with cleansers as I either don't notice a difference or it causes some breakouts. I will be buying this moving forward - absolutely amazing. Thank you!
a nice body cleanser

This cleanser left my skin feeling clean, soft and smooth. It has tiny exfoliating beads which makes my skin look clear after using. It doesn't dry out my skin which I really like. And has seemed to help prevent new break outs. A little goes a long way too as it's very creamy.
I would recommend it for acne

This product is easy to use and it's effective for people who typically get acne. The one thing that I'm not a fan of is the smell but I do believe that other than that if you're looking for results this is good for you.
