Proactiv Acne Moisturizer — Hydrating Face Moisturizer 90-Day Supply (3 oz) with Salicylic Acid, Mattifying Gel-Cream

Proactiv+ Complexion Perfecting Hydrator is a lightweight, salicylic-acid moisturiser designed to hydrate acne-prone skin while helping improve texture and even tone.

Built as the third step of the Proactiv+ 3-step routine, this silky cream-gel blends moisturising ingredients with salicylic acid and botanical brighteners to address dryness, uneven tone and surface texture without heavy residue. It’s formulated to absorb excess oil, leave a soft matte finish and support clearer-looking skin when used after cleansing and treatment steps. Suitable for oily, dry, combination, normal and sensitive skin, it’s sized for a 90-day supply in a 3 oz jar.

How does this moisturizer work for acne-prone skin?

The formula combines a low concentration of salicylic acid with a hydrating moisture complex so you get gentle exfoliation plus replenishment. Salicylic acid helps clear pores while the hydrators reduce dryness that can aggravate breakouts and irritation.

• Salicylic acid helps exfoliate inside pores to reduce clogging.
• Moisture complex provides long-lasting hydration without heavy greasiness.
• Botanical brighteners support a more even-looking skin tone.
• Light gel-cream texture absorbs quickly and mattifies the surface.

Will this leave my skin feeling greasy or shiny?

No — the hydrator is designed to sink in fast and manage surface oil for a smoother, less shiny look. It balances moisturizing lipids with oil-absorbing components so skin feels comfortable, not slick.

• Gel-cream formula glides on like a gel but feels like a cream.
• Mattifying elements reduce excess shine on oily areas.
• Suitable to use under makeup as it creates a smooth base.

How should I incorporate it into my daily routine?

Apply this hydrator as the final step after cleansing and applying any topical acne treatments. Use fingertips to smooth over the entire face until absorbed and follow with sunscreen when exposed to sunlight.

• Step 1: Cleanse with your chosen Proactiv cleanser.
• Step 2: Apply targeted treatment (if used) and allow to absorb.
• Step 3: Apply generous layer of the Hydrator; do not rinse.
• Finish with SPF 15+ when going outdoors after the hydrator absorbs.

Is this suitable for sensitive or dry skin types?

Yes — the product is formulated for all skin types, including sensitive and dry skin, by combining gentle pore-clearing with conditioning botanicals. If you have very reactive skin, patch testing is wise before full-face application.

• Low-irritation salicylic acid level for gentle exfoliation.
• Skin-brightening botanicals to help reduce blotchiness.
• Non-stripping hydration aims to soothe and improve texture.

Who this is for: This hydrator is for people who want a single, lightweight moisturizer that supports acne care without sacrificing moisture. It suits anyone following a targeted breakout regimen who needs a calming, oil-managing finish — from teens to adults with oily, combination, dry, normal or sensitive skin — and for those who want a non-greasy base under makeup or sunscreen.
