Deep Cleansing Without the Dryness
Disclosure: I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I've been using this face wash for about two weeks, and I'm really impressed with how gentle it is on the skin. It cleans very, very well without ever leaving my face feeling dry or tight. With daily use, my skin stayed ...

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. My rating is based on the new formula before I tweaked it. I missed the 'scrubbing' part of the old formula and this version wasn't cheap so I bought St Ives ...

I wouldn't say it's a miracle worker for severe acne, but it's definitely a good addition to a skincare routine for preventing breakouts and maintaining clearer skin. Overall, I'm happy with the results and would recommend it to anyone looking for a gentle but effective acne treatment.

At first I was worried to try this product due to my sensitive skin but honestly It was kind to my skin. I only use it two to three times a week and has been amazingly good!

I am prone to minor acne outbreaks occasionally, and this helps keep the acne at bay! Gentle and easy on the skin for everyday use!
Not the original scrub
Im not sure if this product is intended to be a reformulation of the proactiv scrub, but it is not the same at all. I bought this thinking it would be at least similar to the skin smoothin exfoilator- its not. It is drying, does not exfoilate at all, and is doing nothing to prevent breakouts. Incredibly disappointed.
