So I just got another Proactiv product.

So what I'm wanting to do, is use the Step 1 and 2 of the kit, then use the Clearzone Body Lotion. Here's the thing though, can I combine all those together and have it do its job by fighting and preventing acne? Because the Step 1 and 2 contains Benzoyl Peroxide while the Clearzone Body Lotion has Salycilic Acid.

My other question, is can I use the Clearzone Body Lotion on my face? When I looked on the back, it never said anything about the face, it just mentioned the body. Meanwhile on the Clearzone Deep Cleansing Wash, it says it can be used on both the body and face. So can't I just use the lotion on my face?

I use two products that contain the ingredients you mentioned above. I use a product with the S.A. In the shower. I then use the product that contains the B.P. when I get out of the shower. As long as you evenly applie it you should be fine. The area where you apply it might get red or peel a bit. If it does then cut back on how much u do or skip a day. Hope it helps!

I've combined different acne products before and never had a problem with it. If you have more sensitive skin it could possibly cause irritation, though. I think it should be fine.

As long as the SA concentration is 2% or less its cool. I'm sure it is since lotion meant to be left on but read the label just to make sure. Also if you have questions have you tried contacting proactiv's customer service?

You should be ok maybe your skin will be a bit drier, if you notice any negative changes to your body stop combining

Yes, medically skin is skin. So if you can put it on one part of the body safely, you can safely put it on the skin on your face. Always avoid contact with nose, eyes, and mouth. If it begins to peel or show inflammation I recommend cutting back on usage, and if problem persists or worses contact your medical professional.
