Our verdict

A long-running acne cleanser with real repeat-purchase loyalty behind it, best treated as a daily step in a fuller acne routine rather than a standalone fix.

Overview

Proactiv's Renewing Cleanser, model 802470, is a benzoyl peroxide face wash meant as the first step of the brand's acne system, combining exfoliating beads with hyaluronic acid in a 6 fl oz bottle sold as a 90 day supply.

The benzoyl peroxide is micronized so it can work into pores while fine exfoliating beads lift away dead skin, a combination the brand pitches as cleansing and light exfoliation in one step. It is marketed for teens and adults across skin types, though the seller copy leans on brand history more than on new claims.

  • Micronized benzoyl peroxide targets acne in pores
  • Exfoliating beads remove dead skin cells
  • Hyaluronic acid added for hydration
  • 6 fl oz bottle sold as a 90 day supply

Who it's for

Suits people managing ongoing acne who want a daily medicated cleanser rather than a spot treatment, including long-term users who repurchase it for teenage or adult breakouts. Less suited to anyone whose skin reacts badly to benzoyl peroxide or who wants a purely gentle, non-medicated wash.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Micronized benzoyl peroxide plus exfoliating beads in one wash
  • Hyaluronic acid included to offset dryness
  • Long track record with repeat buyers over years
  • Works alongside other Proactiv steps in a routine

Performance notes

Micronized benzoyl peroxide is designed to penetrate into pores to work on acne while fine exfoliating beads remove dead skin cells during the same wash. Hyaluronic acid is included to help offset the drying effect benzoyl peroxide can have, and the brand recommends pairing it with a moisturizer for that reason.
