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?

This cleanser surprised me in the best way! It leaves my skin feeling clean, refreshed, and smoother every time I use it. The BHA helps keep breakouts under control without being too harsh or stripping. It's a great option if you want that balanced, polished look without irritation definitely a keeper in my skincare routine. The texture is creamy but still gives a deep clean without drying me out. I love that it gently exfoliates it really helps keep my pores clear and my skin soft. Perfect for combo or oily skin like mine!

I would definitely purchase this !
