Proactiv Benzoyl Peroxide Gel Acne Spot Treatment — 3 oz, 90-Day Supply, Lightweight Pore-Targeting

Proactiv+ Benzoyl Peroxide Gel is a lightweight, pore-targeting spot treatment that delivers micronized benzoyl peroxide deep into pores to clear blemishes while limiting surface dryness.

This gel uses Proactiv’s Smart Target delivery system to guide active benzoyl peroxide where breakouts begin, offering focused blemish control without heavy, greasy residue. The formula is designed to absorb quickly and to be compatible with dry, oily, and combination skin types, helping both teens and adults manage occasional or persistent acne spots with a single, easy-to-apply product.

How does this gel reach the source of pimples?

Instead of simply sitting on the skin, the Smart Target system combines micronized benzoyl peroxide with a delivery matrix that encourages the medicine to penetrate into pores. That supports more direct contact with acne-causing factors while reducing excess dryness on the skin surface. The result is a focused approach to spot treatment rather than broad, overly drying coverage.

• Micronized benzoyl peroxide for targeted penetration
• Delivery system engineered to guide actives into pores
• Minimizes unnecessary surface irritation

Will this product make my skin feel greasy or heavy?

No: the gel is formulated to be lightweight and non-greasy, absorbing quickly after application. Users typically find it leaves a matte, comfortable finish that layers easily under makeup or sunscreen. Because it’s designed to avoid excess oiliness, you can use it during the day without a heavy feel.

• Lightweight gel texture for fast absorption
• Non-greasy finish suitable under cosmetics
• Formulated to avoid excess surface oil

Is this suitable for sensitive or different skin types?

The formula is made to be compatible with dry, oily, and combination skin and is gentle enough for many people who experience sensitivity. Smart Target aims to limit the typical dryness and irritation associated with benzoyl peroxide by focusing treatment into pores rather than across the entire surface. Still, patch testing is recommended if you have very reactive skin or are using other active treatments.

• Designed for teens and adults with varied skin types
• Reduced surface irritation compared to traditional benzoyl peroxide creams
• Patch test recommended for highly reactive skin

How should I use this for best results?

Apply a small amount directly to clean, dry blemishes once or twice daily, depending on tolerance and product instructions. Allow the gel to absorb fully before layering serums, moisturizers, or makeup. Consistent spot treatment as blemishes appear helps control breakouts while keeping surrounding skin comfortable.

• Use on cleansed, dry skin for direct application
• One to two applications per day as tolerated
• Let absorb before applying other products or makeup

Who is this for? Proactiv+ Benzoyl Peroxide Gel is intended for people seeking a targeted, non-greasy spot treatment that addresses pimples at their source. It is suitable for teens and adults with occasional or recurring acne who want a focused approach that aims to reduce visible blemishes while limiting the surface dryness commonly associated with benzoyl peroxide. If you use other active skincare products or have very sensitive skin, introduce this gel gradually and consider consulting a skincare professional.
