Quick Summary
I really liked this exfoliator/acne treatment and the results.
I decided to give it a 4/5 stars overall.
This is an exfoliator with acne treatment, which can be used anywhere from 1-3 times per day as a 90 day treatment.
Because I personally do not have excessive acne, I decided to use it once a day in the place of my daily face wash.
The texture of the exfoliator is a thin, white paste with very fine exfoliating beads.
Even with the Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%, I didn’t have any dryness using it once a day before bed.
This product doesn’t have a smell and is easy to apply and wash off.
I appreciate the white color because I didn’t have to worry about staining towels or my headband.
The price is slightly higher than some exfoliators, which is understandable with the additional acne treatment. Retail it’s sold for $40, but is sometimes cheaper through the Proactiv+ website.
Detailed Review:
Texture/Feel
Thin, white paste with very fine exfoliating beads.
The beads are extremely fine and there are plenty of them, so I was able to really exfoliate with this product.
There was no dripping or clumping during use, which I appreciate.
The color is a bright white.
Smell (in the bottle)
This product doesn’t have any marketed fragrance. I didn’t notice any bad residual odors during/after use.
Application Process
I first tried using a small thin amount, as recommended, to make sure I did not have an adverse reaction.
The product is very easy to apply and easy to wash off.
It does not drip or have a bad odor. It is very easy to apply.
Over several days, I was able to exfoliate more without issues.
The white color was nice because I didn’t have to worry about staining anything.
It didn’t leave any waxy residue or bad smell.
I continued using it once per day opposed to three times per day, as I was personally more interested in the exfoliating benefit rather than the acne treatment.
Any Drying and/or Redness?
The product didn’t cause any redness or dryness, despite it containing ingredients that help dry up acne.
Short Term Results
Right after use, I noticed my skin felt soft and fresh.
I applied my regular moisturizer after use to make sure the acne treatment did not dry my skin out too much.
Long Term Results
After several uses, I noticed improvement of my skin, particularly on my chin and cheeks.
When applying makeup the next morning, I started to notice my skin was a little brighter/healthier.
Overall, this product gave me great results with one use per day.
Ingredients
This exfoliator has the active ingredient Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% in it, which is a widely used acne treatment. Just be careful, as this ingredient can bleach clothing and pillow cases.
It also contains Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, which is a fatty acid from coconut oil that is also very common in skin care products.
Glycolic acid is also in this product, which is typically used for brightening and anti-aging effects.
Price
The retail price of $40 is a little higher than many exfoliating products. However, this is also an acne treatment.
