The secret to what makes Proactiv so incredibly effective at clearing and preventing your blemishes is the Proactiv system, with our exclusive Benzoyl Peroxide microcrystal technology. It penetrates fast to deliver rapid zit-fighting action. NEW Proactiv's Benzoyl Peroxide is more finely milled, so it can penetrate deep into the pore where it belongs. This makes NEW Proactiv the faster, gentler*, smarter way to clear your skin! With Proactiv, it's micro, and it works. You'll love the results!
