New Proactiv Solution has been formulated with micro-crystal benzoyl peroxide, designed to allow the key active acne fighting ingredient to absorb more quickly into pores. Typical benzoyl peroxide particles on the average are 25% larger than the pore and can vary in size. The new benzoyl peroxide in Proactiv is approximately 1/10 the size of the pore, and the particles are evenly sized and uniform throughout the formulation.

**** I have mixed feelings about this product. It does help, my pores are smaller, my skin feels smooth, and some of my acne has gone away. The new Proactiv doesn’t feel as harsh on skin as the old. When I tried the original Proactiv it burned my face, the new Proactiv does not. It has made my skin clearer, but if you miss a day your acne starts coming back. So if you want clear skin you have to use it non-stop. Which can get expensive.

Disclosure; I did not receive compensation for this post. I did receive a product from the company for my review.
After struggling to find acne products after 10 years of searching, I finally found proactiv 5 years ago, and still use it currently and religiously. When I heard that proactiv changed their formula, I almost had a heart attack, but after reading your review, I am not as nervous to try it. Its good to hear that it is not as drying but winters were a pain with proactiv.
