REVIEW: EQUATE vs PROACTIV Which is better?



Again again again... :) I am going to make a reviews with the products I have been using in my daily face routine. I have a mild acne problem on my face and I am kind of frustrated about it. If you have a problem like mine, you aren't alone.

I tried using Proactiv for more than a month. (NOT THE PROACTIV PLUS)

1. Renewing Cleanser
2. Revitalizing Toner 
3. Repairing Treatment


PERSONAL VERDICT
(FOR PROACTIV) 

1.  I still had pimples maybe 5-7? Not sure if it's just because I used new products.
2. EXPENSIVE. Got them from amazon around 40 bucks. errr... Proactiv website is not selling these products anymore.




RIGHT NOW: I am currently using EQUATE PRODUCTS.
PERSONAL VERDICT

(FOR EQUATE): 

PROS:

1. I love it. 
2. Affordable 
     Amazon: $ 23.20
     Walmart: $11.97 ( you know where to buy now hehe. But they say it's always sold out in some Walmart store. I got mine from Walmart online.
3. Product is good for 2 months or more it depends on how much you use them. Its super worth it. 
4. Less pimples. Im still having some before and after period but thats it.
5. Not stingy
6. It doesnt have a strong scent. I think i like it.



CONS:

1. It doesn't remove acne marks. ( i have a lot right now)
