Unless you have been raised by technologically ignorant wolves, you know what Proactiv is – the hugely popular acne product. Now, I am lucky enough to not have acne. I don’t get pimples often – though when I do, they are terrible, sometimes taking a month to clear fully. It got me wondering – can Proactiv eradicate these occasional pimples?

I tested out the Three-Step Program, which contains a Renewing Cleanser, Revitalizing Toner, and Repairing Lotion.

Renewing Cleanser is a creamy face cleanser with micro-exfoliant beads. I love it when I can combine two steps in one – anything to speed up my morning routine. I find that it did a good job cleaning, and it didn’t dry out my skin.

Revitalizing Toner is good for a mid-day pick-me-up, but I suspect it could be drying if used too frequently.

Repairing Lotion is a moisturizer. I wasn’t particularly fond of this moisturizer. It wasn’t very moisturizing, and used in conjunction with the cleanser, I found it to be downright drying. I am also surprised that the moisturizer does not include SPF, especially because the enclosed literature warns to always use a sunblock and avoid too much sun exposure.

Thoughts – a decent cleansing system, but quite frankly, I think this is better left to acne-prone skin. It cleansed well enough, though it is not my favorite cleanser, and I wasn’t a fan of the moisturizer. It did nothing for my skin tone or texture.
