Walgreens Skin Essentials 3 Step Acne System — 

Wow, when they say compare to Proactiv, they are not kidding! I did just that- I bought this system when I still had some Proactiv left over, just so I could test it myself. The verdict? I literally could not tell the difference between the two brands! Also, I got the same good results from the Walgreens product. But the price is so much better! This product is usually $12.99, and is on sale right now for $8.99! I will definately stock up!

What the Walgreens website says about this product:

  • Compare to Proactiv Solution System - This product is not manufactured or distributed by Guthy-Renker, distributors of Proactiv Solution System.
  • Dermatologist recommended.
  • For all skin types.
  • Step 1: 4 fl oz / 118 ml.
  • Step 2: 4 fl oz / 118 ml.
  • Step 3: 2 fl oz / 59 ml.
  • How It Works:
  • Step 1 Facial Cleanser:
    • Exfoliates dead skin cells and removes clogging dirt and oil.
    • Delivers benzoyl peroxide directly into skin to attack and eliminate bacteria.
    • Leaves skin fresh and clean.
  • Step 2 Facial Toner:
    • Unclogs pores and helps control oil production.
    • Balanced skin, restoring it to a normal, healthy skin tone.
  • Step 3 Skin Repair Cream:
    • An intensive medication that works deep below the skin's surface.
    • Attacks bacteria directly at the source of where the problem starts.
    • A benzoyl peroxide cream that works 24 hours to clear existing acne and prevent new breakouts.
    • Keeps skin clear without overdrying.

I bought this too and was very willing to pay $12.99 for it. What a surprise when it rang up for $8! Good stuff.
