Proactiv® Oil Free Moisturizer, an Unlikely Cruise Companion

So I just got back from a cruise to the Bahamas (vacation baby!) and of course I packed all the necessary goods for a fun and fruitful vacation… sun dresses, floppy hat, adorable sandals; pretty much the treasure trove of cruise worthy fashion items were in my suitcase. Of course we packed sunscreen because both the man and I are fair skinned and would hate to have a vacation ruined by a bad sunburn being that close to the equator. That being said, one thing I have always really despised is the smell and feel of sunscreen on my face. It feels heavy and greasy but I know, I know… it’s for my own good.  Something I brought with me that I was surprised at how valuable a cruise companion it was, the Proactiv® Oil Free Moisturizer.

What I first found most valuable about the Proactiv® Oil Free Moisturizer was that it has an SPF 15 built in which, you guessed it. is pretty useful when you want to protect you skin from the sun. I would normally just use this as my daily moisturizer (because in my opinion everyone should use a moisturizer with an SPF factor) but on this particular trip, it worked on many levels. Not only did I get my SPF but I also had an oil free, grease free feeling when I applied and reapplied this to my face and neck all day. Since there is little to no odor (ie fragrance free), it also fit the bill as far as my “no smelly stuff on my face” rule goes.

Did  Proactiv® Oil Free Moisturizer pass the true test of keeping my skin burn free, moisturized and along with other Proactiv products, clear of acne? YOU BET! I am totally surprised, really, that this was an unexpected “must have” for my sun and fun filled vacation. Even on my trip to Iceland next year, I will most definitely be bringing this with me. If it protects me in the sun and warmth, I am sure it will protect me in the overcast and chill.
