Proactiv® Repairing Lotion 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Reviews

I really like the repairing lotion from Proactiv, but it's too expensive. I'm trying to find other 2.5% bp but it's hard to find b.c almost everything over-the-counter is 10%. I agree with some people saying that you don't need th whole package offer by Proactiv, all you really need is the repairing lotion. I used Acne Wash by Neutrogena as my cleanser, repairing lotion from Proactiv as my bp, and Aveeno moisturizer. They work really well together even though they're from different brands. I can afford the cleanser and the moisturizer, but I need to find another bp b.c Proactiv's repairing lotion is way too expensive. My skin is so much better now than before I started this regimen, it's brighter and I virtually have no acne except some minor scar from acne from the past.

Proactiv works. it could smell better but it's not that bad. It dosen't work right if you don't use it right. I used it twice a day for about two weeks and my face cleared up, but I didn't use a whole lot. I used only what the guide saidto use.

ATTENTION EVERYONE! STOP BEING RIPPED-OFF BY GREEDY corporations that take advantage of people with acne. Mult-step acne systems such as Proactiv and Exposed are the enemy! They are overpriced because they trick people into thinking they need toner, special lotions, cleansing pads, etc... All you need is 2.5% Benzol Peroxide, any type of moisturizing lotion, and any type of soap. The Benzol Peroxide is the only thing that kills the acne-causing bacteria in the pores. I refused to pay outrageous prices and finally found a generic brand of spot treatment (main ingredient was BP) at Dollar General store for ONE BUCK! I buy a one ounce tube of 10% BP. (HERE IS THE MONEY SAVING TIP :Ten % is too strong to apply directly to the face. I mix a pea-sized amount in the palm of my hand with an equal OR GREATER amount of water. This dilutes the BP down to a lesser strength that the skin can handle. Do this before bedtime. It may take some trial and error but eventually you will have no trouble knowing how much water to use. If you accidentally use too little water and feel burning, rinse the area well with water) Wash face first with any type of soap. I use Ivory. After applying the BP use any type of face moisturizer. FOR PEOPLE WITH ACNE ON THE BACK AND ARMS THIS IS the only way you can get large amounts of BP for an affordable price! If you don't like the guess work of mixing your own BP with water, go to [link removed] and order just the BP gel. (This is the only site I have ever found that offers reasonable prices) Go to Wal-Mart and get soap and lotion. You will save big $$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!! If you can't get to a Dollar Store you can get BP at Wal-Mart. It is the main ingredient in Oxy-10, and other spot treatments but you will have to pay more. Their instructions say not to spread all over the skin but if you dilute with water it works just like Proactiv. A one ounce tube of 10% BP will last you a month or more if you use it on your back, up to three months if used on the face only.

It works REALLY well when i havent used it in awhile, but after a week, it all comes back....
So yeah.
Not the best, but for a week - i shine.

It works, but it gave me my allergy to benzoyl peroxide when I never was before. It smells good. Hella expensive. Not worth it.
