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.

Crystal Light is making a sweet breakthrough in fitness beverages-Crystal light pure fitness. The first naturally sweetened, low-calorie fitness drink mix, Crystal Light Pure Fitness contains electrolytes to help aid hydration during light physical activity.

It contains no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or preservatives, has just 15 calories per serving. It also comes in three flavors grape, strawberry kiwi, and lemon lime.

***This is very good, It tastes just like the original Crystal Light but sweeter. It’s better for you too! It’s hard for me to drink anything with artificial sweetners, because they hurt my stomach. This does not have any artificial flavors, but it still tastes very good.  I was able to try out strawberry kiwi and lemon lime. It actually tastes like there were real strawberries and lemons in the drink.

Release:Crystal Light pure Fitness will be available in March 2010
