| Pros | Its so easy and affective why would you use the entire treatment systems.I used this combined with the green tea moisterizer and the first day i used it, it visibly reduced the pimples on myn face back and chest. It was 102 degrees outside and i put it on like an hour before i went swimming. I went swimming and didnt have any other sunscreen on, i was in the pool for at leat an hour and it protected the skin...no sunburn. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The only issue i have is its kind of hard to rub in and it smells like sunscreen. |
| Bottom line | I love it and for a proactive product it protects from the sun and moisterize at the same time |

| Pros | +Extra moisture for people with dry skin. |
|---|---|
| Cons | +Smells like Sunscreen |
| Bottom line | I used the whole line of Proactiv, and this every once and a while. It made no difference whatsoever. It was just another moisturizer. I have combo. skin. Oily everywhere except cheeks. This didn't help me at all, it was basically a gentle sunscreen. |

| Pros | I LOVE this moisturizer! I'm 24 and don't use Proactiv, (I used to) but I need the moisturizer. When I lost my bottle, after 2 weeks my skin felt flaky, blotchy, was full of zits and not pretty. You don't need the whole line of products, just this! |
|---|---|
| Cons | A little expensive for the size, hard to find! You cannot buy this on its own, which is a bummer since it's the only part of the 'system' that I use. |
| Bottom line | I would not go a day without using this moisturizer. I have tried literally a hundred other moisturizers from all kinds of different lines and stores, but I always come back to this. I always get compliments on my skin when I use the Oil Free Moisture and the SPF is a bonus. Plus it doesn't leave a heavy smell on your skin. I will NEVER USE ANYTHING ELSE! |

| Pros | Loved it when I could buy it on the shopping channel,I useually got it with the show stopper. |
|---|---|
| Cons | They quit offering it for sale, and the price on it's own is rediculous, I just checked today they have it but it was going to cost me $42.00 plus tax for 1 bottle. |
| Bottom line | I loved it, and have always tried to use a spf moisturizer, I wish it were sold in Walmart, so it might be more affordable. |

| Pros | Oil-free, noncomedogenic, no skin-irritating ingredients, SPF 15. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Very light moisturizer (not very effective if you are using topical acne treatments, leaves white residue on your face, can make your face oily. |
| Bottom line | I love the Proactiv Solution 3-piece system, so I figured I'd give this moisturizer a try. I wasn't very impressed with this product, but it is the best moisturizer with sunscreen I have found so far. It leaves a white residue on your face, so make sure you use it sparingly and also make sure your acne leave-on treatment has dried completely before putting it on if you are using a leave-on treatment like benzoyl peroxide. It can also make your face a little oily looking, so it's best not to use too much. I wish it would moisturize better. Overall, it's an ok product. Try for yourself and see if it works for you! Best wishes! |

| Pros | Feels light on face, SPF, oil-free. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Felt sticky and looked shiny on my face, accents possible skin flakes, a little runny, doesn't apply evenly. |
| Bottom line | It's not worth the high price, you can get many cheaper, better products for half the price. It also didn't absorb completely. I had slightly flaky, dry skin around my chin area and it just made the flakes white which in turn accented them. It was too watery as well, not very potent. I would feel I needed more in a couple hours, even though my face was shiny. |

| Pros | makes my skin a few shades lighter, water based, easy to go on, doesn't make my skin oily |
|---|---|
| Cons | doesn't moisturize enough, shows my skins flakey-ness |
| Bottom line | i really like how it makes my skin a few shades lighter, and my skin doesn't become as oily as before. however, it does not moisturize my skin enough, so i find myself either putting more layers of it on, or eczema cream (because i have eczema) just remember to put on another moisturizer if you live in a arid climate, and exfoliate with a SCRUB |

| Pros | Seems to absorb oil, SPF, blends in smooth, doesn't leave me greasy nor shiny like many other moisturizers do. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Small for the price. |
| Bottom line | I DO NOT use the proactiv 3 piece kit, just wash my face with the neutrogena wave and then apply this moisturizer after. I must say I've had BAD acne these past 2 years (22 yrs old now) and I've tried soo many routines. So far this one seems to be working the best. No this moisturizer doesn't help prevent acne despite who makes it, but it doesn't appear to make it worse, goes on nice, moisturizes, and of course has SPF. Great little addition to a routine. Try buying on ebay alone. |
