I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Influence-Central for Proacitv+. I received samples of Proactiv+ to facilitate my review and a thank you item for participating.
When I was a teen acne breakouts were a fact of life and a daily obsession -- I can't even remember all the brands of skin cleaning and medicated products I cycled through back in those days to fight that uphill battle. At the time, I recall all I could think of was how much I couldn't wait to get into my 20s so I wouldn't have to deal with those ugly red pimples anymore.
Long story short is that my 20s, 30s and 40s all came and went and I still was cringing whenever I noticed the occasional annoying blemishes on my face. That all changed when I started using the Proactiv+ skincare system about six weeks ago.

In fact just a few weeks after I started using Proactiv+ twice a day, I noticed my skin returning to it's pre-teen pre-acne state. Granted I have a few more wrinkles and fine lines on my face that weren't there when I was a tween but I now have my blemish-free skin back which was a pleasant surprise.

Unlike others I have tried, this skincare line is accessibly affordable, easy and quick to use. In fact, it only takes five minutes twice a day, morning and night, to go through the whole routine of exfoliating, cleaning and moisturizing your skin.

Cleanse with Proactiv+ Skin Smoothing Exfoliator
This 6 ounce tube of exfoliator has a wonderful light fragrance that reminds me of a breeze at the beach. The cream cleanser formulated with prescription-strength micro-crystal benzoyl peroxide gently washes away dead skin cells while working to encourage smoother, new skin to resurface.

Treat with Proactiv+ Pore Targeting Treatment
Follow up the Skin Smoothing Exfoliator with this product which comes in a 3 ounce push pump bottle. The cleansing gel, with SMART TARGET Benzoyl peroxide 2.5%, feels light and gentle as you smooth it on your face in the affected areas, avoiding eyes, lips and mouth. The product's advanced fomula helps guide medicine directly into pores to clear existing blemishes as well as prevent new ones from erupting.

Deep Clean Pores with Proactiv+ Skin Purifying Mask
To complement the Proactiv+ 3-Step System, I also received a 1 ounce tube of Skin Purifying Mask which deep cleans pores with sulfur to draw out impurities while cooling koalin clay extracts excess skin oil. As recommended on the box instructions, I use this three times a week all over my face routinely in addition to applying as an overnight spot treatment when I notice face trouble brewing.
