Proactiv Solution : Repairing Lotion 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide

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've tried the entire Proactiv line twice and seen the same results both times. I thought my skin was pretty tough, but these products totally scorched it. I had amazing results for a few days, but then my skin was SO tight, dry and painful that I stopped using them. Plus, this stuff is super expensive for what you get. Try it if you want, just to satisfy your curiosity. It's not the miracle cure it claims to be, but hey maybe it'll work for you. You can find better products in the drug store that cost a lot less.

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.

idk...unless you have severe acne i proably wouldnt recommend it.

Like it it enought to buy again, but don't necessarily love it. aslso, nasty back acne annie, water is a neutral and therefore will not dilute the BP, instead use a base such as a moisturizer :] all you are doing by adding water to ur bp is making it well, watery

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.

Proactive worked so well for me. I initially used it in combination with my topical antibiotic (DalacinT) which was fine. Then ran out of Dalacin and used it on its own, still fine. But now am starting to break out again, maybe I should keep the two together again? I never really found it 'smoothed' my skin all that much, or cleared my blackheads/under-the-skin tiny spots. But it did help my mild/moderate cystic chin acne, for which I'm grateful.

Worked extremely quickly and well for me. I was desperate, and couldn't really quite believe just how effective this was for me. May be expensive relatively speaking for a BP product, but I don't care with these results.

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