Proactiv salicylic acid hydrating face moisturizer — 3 oz, lightweight gel-cream for acne-prone skin, 90-day supply

Proactiv+ Complexion Perfecting Hydrator is a lightweight, salicylic-acid moisturizer that hydrates acne-prone skin while helping improve texture and tone.

Designed as the third step in the Proactiv+ regimen, this silky, gel-cream delivers steady moisture without heaviness and supports clearer-looking skin. It combines 2% salicylic acid’s exfoliating action with a moisturizing complex and botanical brighteners to address common concerns of acne-prone complexions, including dryness, excess oil, redness, and uneven tone. The formula is created to sink in quickly so you can follow with sunscreen or makeup.

How does this moisturizer fit into an acne-care routine?

Use the Complexion Perfecting Hydrator as the final step after cleansing and treating. It seals in moisture to prevent the flaking and irritation that can accompany acne treatments while allowing active ingredients to continue working throughout the day or night.

• Apply after step two treatments; do not rinse off.
• Absorbs quickly so SPF or makeup can be layered over it.
• Supports ongoing exfoliation with salicylic acid, helping keep pores clearer.

Will it dry out my skin or increase oiliness?

This hydrator is formulated to balance hydration and oil control—delivering moisture while helping to mattify the surface appearance. The texture reads like a gel but finishes like a cream, providing comfort for dry spots without leaving greasy residue.

• Lightweight gel-cream texture that glides on smoothly.
• Matifying ingredients help reduce shine without over-drying.
• Suitable for oily, combination, normal, dry, and sensitive skin types.

What active ingredients and benefits are included?

The formula centers on salicylic acid for gentle exfoliation and pore support, paired with a moisture complex and botanicals that aim to improve luminosity and evenness. Together, these ingredients focus on restoring skin comfort and improving surface texture rather than making medical claims.

• Salicylic acid to help exfoliate and support clearer-looking pores.
• Hydrating complex that helps reduce dryness and flakiness from acne treatments.
• Botanical brighteners to promote a more even, radiant-looking complexion.

How should I apply it and what results can I expect?

Generously apply to the entire face using fingertips after treatment step two; do not rinse. If you're heading outdoors, let the hydrator absorb fully and finish with sunscreen SPF 15 or higher. With consistent use, skin typically feels smoother and more comfortable, with reduced tightness and a more refined surface appearance.

• Use once or twice daily as part of your Proactiv+ routine.
• Allow absorption before sunscreen or makeup application.
• Visible comfort and improved texture with continued use; individual results vary.

Who is this for: The Proactiv+ Complexion Perfecting Hydrator is designed for anyone managing acne-prone skin who wants hydration without heaviness—people who need a moisturizer that calms dryness from acne treatments, helps control shine, and supports a more even-looking complexion. It’s suitable across skin types, including sensitive skin, and works well on its own or as the finishing step in the Proactiv+ 3-step system.
