Now I have always been a big fan of Proactiv. They were the first to come out with a multi-stage acne treatment system that finally addressed the side effects of benzoil peroxide.
A system that was and still is so popular that it seems that just about every other manufacturer of acne treatment products now has one or is soon to come out with one. So then, what about Proactiv Deep Cleansing Wash??
I'm sorry to say that I'm no where near as enthusiastic about this product as I was and still am about their multi-stage treatment kit and I'm not afraid to say way. In fact I have a few problems with it and they are as follows:
To start off with, grit in face scrubs is a gimmick. Not only does it not help but it can also damage delicate acne prone skin. You see the problem is “below the surface” and grit in any face scrub does nothing for that.
Secondly Proactiv Deep Cleansing Wash contains 2% salicylic acid. An exfoliant. To start out with 2% is way too much and you really shouldn't be exfoliating your face “every time” you wash it.
Remember that skin is a good thing. Now I know you may be angry with it right now but removing it's top layer every time you wash it is definitely not the solution. Why not consider buying an exfoliant and using it once or twice a week instead?
My final gripe is the price. Let's not forget that in the end, this is face soap were talking about here so how did we end up at close to $50 for a 16 oz pump container? In the end though, it's your opinion that really matters and in fact you don't have to look to far online to find plenty of reviews from satisfied users.

Just to clear things up, this is the REAL DEAL, it is not a fake product as per one of the other reviews. You can go on [...] right now and see this wash being sold there for more money than here (2 8 oz. bottles) - I used to buy it from them, but will happily buy it here from Amazon now that I know they sell it too. This is indeed made with salicylic acid, NOT benzoyl peroxide like their other facial cleansers by ProActive. They are TWO DIFFERENT products, this is NOT a fake product or a knock off like the other review said. I have been using this for years, and it is the ONLY product that keeps my face clean and blemish free. No other product does that for me, including the entire ProActive line that is different than this wash. I have been through 3 different Isotretinoin treatments for severe acne, numerous antibiotics, numerous facial cremes and washes given to me by my dermatologist, and nothing has worked except for the Isotretinoin and this wonderful wonderful wash by ProActive (by the way, salicylic acid in the 2% strength is COMMONLY used by dermatologists to help clear acne up - which this product thankfully has! You don't even have to go see a dermatologist like I originally did to get a product with that particular strength of salicylic acid). I'm 30 years old too, have had acne since I was 13. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this wonderful product to everyone who struggles with acne!
