Most Helpful Positive Review Best Clean Feeling I have been using Proactiv for years and honestly it leaves my skin feeling clean even when my skin is angry at the world and there is no stopping its fury. I did initially do the whole Proactiv treatment but eventually decided this with an Aveeno moisturizer is what works best for my skin [I also use charcoal masks which is a heaven send for my pores]
Most Helpful Critical Review Awful I don't see how this is "exfoliating" in the least. The best things about the original cleanser β skin-smoothing texture, non-greasy feel β don't exist in this formulation. My skin texture is already awful after a little over a week, and small whiteheads and blackheads that were eliminated by the exfoliating properties of the original cleanser have reappeared. It also stinks, and leaves a greasy film on your skin. Really upset that I tried this new cleanser because Ulta was sold out of the original. Now I apparently have to wait until stores open again to return/exchange it.
Reviewed by 120 customers absolutely a must have for me 5
Princess Anna from Virginia
I have been using this line since I was 16 I'm now 34 and I can't be without it. I use the regular step 1 cleanser and the repairing lotion usually. But this year I started using this one as my cleanser and then the repairing lotion and WOW. This has the glycolic acid and I know that's what makes this a win for me. All oil and any breakouts are immediately dried up and within 3 days the breakout is gone. I get hormonal breakouts so just every now and then but this keeps my face clear 99% of the time. It burns a little but I like it because it really gets my skin in great condition. Very soft and absolutely oil free.
Effective Anti-Acne Cleanser 5
Syd from AZ
I use this cleanser twice a day and follow with moisturizer. This product has cleared up my skin and is very effective against breakouts. Creamy formula with microbeads to exfoliate, non-scented and does not irritate my sensitive, combination skin. I have ordered this product a second time now because I love it!
Miracle 5
Summer17 from California
This is a miracle product for me. I've been using it consistently for months and my skin has improved so much. I have really sensitive skin and this cleanser does not aggravate it. I love how clean and smooth my face feels after using it. I highly recommend this product to any one struggling with acne.
Not what I expected 2
C J from San Francisco
I have been suffering from very difficult acne for the last year so I gave this a try, and I felt it did nothing to lessen the acne. I had higher hopes that it would give my skin the jump it needed to clear up but Not so much. Maybe it was too drying for my skin and resulted in excessive oil breakouts for me particularly although I had used proactive in the past. It could possibly work better for more oily skin types but I wouldn't recommend for someone with dry/sensitive or combination skin.
Works well 5
Tori k from NY
My kid uses this twice a day. Works well
Don't be fooled 1
Aj from Sd
6oz of product in an 8oz tube!!! Hold your brand new tube up to the light to realize your product is filled two inches from the top of the tube!!! Customers are not dumb! We don't perceive there's more product. The perception is that you're trying to deceive us! Shameful
Love, Love, Love! 5
Piglet from Rhode Island
I love this product, I've been a fan for 15 years now. It's a little expensive but I caught the recent sale, so I stocked up. I love the skin package. Now that it's winter I do have to add extra moisturizer.
Life changing 5
Leena from California
This is an amazing cleanser! It helps my skin so much. I like Proactiv plus a lot because it is gentle but gets the job done. Before I found Proactive plus, I went from cleanser to cleanser looking for a product that actually worked. I spent so much money on the other hyped companies and they only made my skin worse.
This cleanser and the rest of the line gave me my confidence back. It works!
My go-to cleanser 5
J.W.B. from Lehigh Valley, PA
I've used this product for 15 years and have never found anything better for my sensitive, aging skin. Consistent. Follow with a hydrating moisturizer for well balanced skin.
Stick to the original! 1
Jessica from Heath oh
I normally use the first original face wash but Ulta was out so I bought this bc the benzoyl peroxide products are the only ones that help my acne without crazy drying my face out. I noticed the day after I used it I had a pimple popping up so I still used it the following night and then it just kept getting worse! Like giant boil looking pimples that I do not normally have! (Day 8 of using so I just washed with regular play cleanser tonight) pretty sure it's the proactiv + causing this reaction. I'll stick with the original proactiv face wash
Help Cure My Acne 5
Kayla from Tulsa, OK
Helped cure my acne. It is very drying so be careful and use a good moisturizer.
I'm 53 and my skin is as smooth as in my 20s! 5
Kathy from Virginia Beach
I'm 53 and have hormonal adult acne. This is the only thing that worked for me. It was clearing up my face so I used it on my body in the shower. Wow! This is serious stuff. It got rid of ALL my dead skin that I didn't know I had! Be careful its very strong, wash it ALL off
(Follow directions) I use it on my face 2 times a day.
I personally would not use it more then 1 time every 2 weeks on my body. I put coconut oil on after and my skin is so soft! Hope this helpsπ
Threw this out after barely using it. 1
Jilly W. from Utica, NY
I noticed that this exfoliant was turning all of my wash cloths orange. Not something I felt comfortable putting on my face.
My one and only!!! 5
Frugal beauty mama from Everett, WA
This is the only one that cleans without over drying and actually clears my skin!! I get cystic and hormonal acne and this helps. This summer I broke out on my forehead which never happens. This stuff right here, cleared it up within a week! Please never stop carrying this product!!
Best for my Acne 5
T Lamps from Southern Oregon
I've been using this product for as long as it's been out. This plus version is great. I use it twice daily and have minimal to no acne now. Afraid to ever change!

Amazing! 5
Ble from Biloxi, MS
I've tried all 3 Proactiv 3-Step systems, Proactiv+ is the best. By far!
works amazing 5
ulta from united states
this cleared up my skin so fast and kept it clear
I have used this product for almost 30 years 5
Fiery1 from Port Huron, MI
This has consistently been my 'go to' for years. I have tried other products and keep coming back. If you are very skin sensitive, think twice about using this though. People often make the mistake of scrubbing too hard which actually makes it worse and causes more breaking out.
Great product for acne prone skin 5
S. Bosley from Chicago
I've using Proactiv for more than two years now and my skin has drastically changed for the better. This product is great for acne prone skin when used with the three step process. But I also find that it dries out the skin, an additional moisturizer with screen is definitely needed.
Effective exfoliator 4
Nina541 from Bend, OR
Really hard to find a good exfoliator that has an effective abrasive. This is about the best one I have tried.
Still a little too gentle, however using a loofa makes it perfect. A little goes a long way so also a good value.
No irritation, no break out, smooth skin.
Love love 5
Raven from Irving tx
I been using this for years it's the only thing that works for me
Makes skin so smooth and clear! 5
Michelle from La Habra, CA
LOVE this exfoliating cleanser. Not only does it keep my skin clearer looking, but it makes it so smooth as well! I love how it exfoliates and cleanses the skin at the same time. I'm hooked! I was gifted this product from Proactiv in exchange for my honest review.
Your face will thank you. 5
Chanty7 from Waukegan,IL
I received this product from Proactiv in exchange for my honest review. I have been using this little over a week now and I can already notice the difference. I like that it has tiny exfoliating beads that feel great & gently exfoliates the skin, without giving me the feeling that I'm scrubbing my face away.
