Walgreens Skin Essentials 3 Step Acne System Review

I first tried ProActiv Solution over 10 years ago hoping it would clear up my acne.  I was skeptical but forged ahead anyway and was astounded by the results.  Within two days my skin began to clear and within a week it was completely clear.  I fell in love with the stuff and used it pretty religiously for years.  What I didn't love though was the price. 

So when other companies started to manufacture products similar to ProActive I began trying them out to see if they were comparable and would allow me to save some money.  The latest product I have tried is Walgreen's Skin Essentials 3-Step Acne System and I'm completely sold on its value and the results of using it.

Skin Essentials contains the same three steps that ProActiv does - facial cleanser with 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, facial toner, and Skin Repar Cream which also contains 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide.  Same as ProActiv but only $12.99 for the same amount of product.

And it works just as well too.  The cleanser is ever so slightly exfoliating.  The toner is slightly more stringent than ProActiv but is still nice and is even the same light green color.  The repairing lotion is exactly the same as ProActiv.  All three products are unscented. And I get the same results for less than half the price.  In fact, the first kit I purchased was marked at a very reasonable $12.99 but was unexpectedly on sale for only $8.  What a bargain!

5 stars - Skin Essentials keeps my skin clear just as well as ProActiv but at a fraction of the price.  I'll definitely be buying more of these kits.
