Proactiv Solution : Repairing Lotion 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide

I have oily skin with enlarged pores and acne marks and scars, I used to get alot of white heads and black heads on my T zone and the occasionally cystic pimple every month. I have been using the lotion on and off, because it was abit drying and I wanted to try something else. I have tried retinol cream and it gave me a whole face of bumps and cystic acne in a week of using it, so I ended up going back to the lotion. I have tried other BP products over the year, but I found this one dries up my pimples the quickest. I recently started to use a product called Thursday Plantation clarifying oil as a moisturiser, I would massage the clarifying oil on my face first, then apply the lotion at the end. This way my face doesn't get irritated and still gets the benefit of the BP. I have been on this routine for 2 weeks now, my T-zone has became alot less oily, and my pores are definitely smaller.

Let me start by saying of the whole line of proactiv I only use this, and I love it. I wash my face with the dove quarter moisture bar use the repairing lotion and then finish with Burt's bee's intense moisture lotion. My skin is tight and clear and beautiful! :)

I buy the repairing lotion separately and use it for my BP step of the regimen. It's the only thing that hasn't clumped with my moisturizer. Last time I read the product recommendations for the regimen, it said gels didn't cause clumping, but every gel causes it for me. Even Dan's BP clumped. Definitely don't use it without moisturizing afterward, though. The proactiv instructions say to do that, but if you do that, your skin might be really dry.

I think that this is good only for those who do not have sensitive skin. give it a try and if it doesn't work get your money back.

good product for a moment. be carefully and have knowledge of how long pro active will take effect and stop working. Make sure you have a quick back up product to clear up new breakouts that form after pro active stop working. Right now im suffering from scars that pro active caused.

Using this, by itself- not the whole P.O.S. proactive kit, works great. I just wash my face with a fragrance free soap (Pure & Natural), and only use this lotion afterward, and I dont have to worry about breakouts. As a teen, I had aweful acne. The only thing that worked for me in my teen years, was either prescription treatments (pills and creams), or proactive. Now I'm 25 years old, and I still am stuck with acne. But its under control, now that I've found out what actually works for my skin. People say that because the main ingredient in this is the same as OTC products, you'll be fine with the store bought alternatives. Not really, if you have acne! Almost everyones' skin reacts differently to different products. I have yet to find a store bought product that works for my skin, besides Stridex Day/Night. But that isn't sold near me anymore.

Where the hell would I be without it? Works amazingly well. I LOVE PROACTIV.

I think we should trust this product, it is professional and good working cream, I have used this product from long time and I hadn't any bad problems, but it is good for my skin and I prefer it, more than another product, it keeps my skin always healthy and clean, I really like it, thanks.

Despite the cost, one of the best acne treatments available! I have used other treatments of B.P. before but I didn't consider them as effective. Skin can be a bit flacky when first using (actually felt like burning for me) but this was kind of reassuring that it was actually working. If you do flake, use an exfoliator as part of your regimen (occasionally) and get a half-decent moisturiser. Tip: Buy the larger 90ml bottles off of ebay; saves money & time. Five stars, two thumbs and all the rest.

The product is great for most people but since I'll never be able to use it again, it wasn't worth the six months of my life it took away with doctors and treatments. Now I'll only trust a dermatologist rather than a faceless company that gives no warnings about the possible consequences for taking their product. I was only checking for dryness, redness, flaking not facial inflammation and pain!
