Proactiv Solution : Oil-Free Moisture with SPF 15

I have searched far and wide for a day moisturiser with spf that is suited for my skin. After years of breakouts caused by many moisturisers and products, I don't understand why i totally forgot proactiv spf. I will mention though that this product is really suited for OILY acneic skin. If you have dry skin, this won't work for you. Often people will review a product negatively when it wasn't meant for your skin type to begin with thus, misrepresenting the product. My skin: acne prone, oily all over, sensitive, dark brown skin tone. PROS: - very light - dries matte - oil free - don't contain: petrolatum, mineral oil, pure glycerin, fragrance and parabens. - controls oil with Nylon-12 and Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate - blended sunblock (contains physical and chemical spf combo) - no white cast but your skin is left with a better looking complexion somehow, i love that. - easily available in stores (as it wasn't previously) - SPF 15 which if any higher, i noticed i tend to break out. the higher the spf the oilier according to skin experts. plus i have dark skin naturally so i really do not need higher spf. - NO BREAKOUTS, NO CLOGS, NO DRYNESS, NO REDNESS, NO IRRITATION. CONS: - expensive - available in stores in 50ml only. however, can be purchased online and/or on ebay for a bigger size. Skin care routine: DAY 1. wash with dermasukin oil balancing wash 2. apply proactiv SPF Night 1. wash with dermasukin oil balancing wash 2. apply clinique dramatically different GEL OR alternate with clindamycin phosphate lotion on some nights OR apply both. 3. tazorac 0.1% Products that broke me out: - neutrogena clear spf 30 (didnt cause acne but caused major rash on my neck and face due to the cinnamon complex ingredient in it) - neutrogena liquid fluid spf 50 - neutrogena ultra sheer spf 50 - neutrogena oil free moisturiser combination skin - neutrogena acne wash salicylic 2% - Sunsense Moisturising Face SPF 50 - Ego oil free matte moisturiser - Mario badescu oil free moisturiser - La Roche Posay Effaclar Gel cleanser (didn't break me out but was way too harsh for my skin. extreme dryness) - Skinstitut producs: gentle cleanser, lactic cleanser, oily skin moisturiser, spf 50, even blend serum.

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.

After years of fooling around with moisturisers I actually found a light, reasonably agreeable moisturiser. I have greasy skin prone to flaky dry patches. The BAD NEWS is that unless you want to pay their postage charges it is NOT AVAILABLE on it's own. I tried. I would have been happy to continue with my Proactiv club membership had this product been available in one of their many offers, but the most you can get in their endless number of combinations is ONE moisturiser! You can buy multiples of most of the products, but only one of this one, and if you use this every day (which you should if you want to protect your skin), you will run out of this long before you ever run out of cleanser or the "repairing" lotion. Dumb, really dumb.

wow! wonderful! this is great! (just 2 tell every1 this is not suppeode 2 cure acne, its supposed 2 mosturize) it makes my face a little "oily" but im not sure if its oil. it removes the dead skin SO well. but, its kinda annoying if you have a lot of dead skin b/c then u have to get it ALL of or it will go right bac into your pores. I reccomend using this b4 u wask you face (i reccomend proactiv solution 2) but just remember every1s face is different!
