Hi

Has anybody tried this?

I'm currently using proactiv which has helped control my acne but i only use the cleanser which is not sold separately in the uk. as a result, i have numerous bottles of proactive toner, repair lotion and sulfur mask gathering dust at home. it's getting expensive and annoying so i'm thinking of changing to neoutrogena face wash, which was recommended by a friend. I read the ingredients and found that this contains salicyclic acid and no benzoyl peroxide. Will salicylic acid make my acne worse? so far i've had no bad reactions to benzoyl peroxide, but everytime i use something like clearasil (which also contains salicylic acid) i seem to break out all over again. I'm afraid that neurogena will do the same. Also can anyone recommend any other cleansers containing benzoyl peroxide that are available in the uk?


thanks

see if you can get this Neutrogena cleanser in the UK, it has benzoil peroxide and is very similiar to the Proactiv cleanser
