Review of the Proactiv Acne Treatment Solution

October 8th, 2009

Proactiv Acne Treatment System is just one of the most popluar acne treatments out on the market today, which promises relief from acne, blackheads, and blemishes. What Proactiv boasts is an all-in-one system that aims not to cure pimples one at a time, but to also prevent acne and blemishes from coming back.

The Proactiv System is composed of three different products that are used in conjunction with one another.

Renewing Cleanser

An oil-free cleanser containing tiny beads that exfoliate the skin. The renewing cleanser also consists of Benzoyl Peroxide, a popular acne-fighting ingredient. The cleanser is used twice a day (morning and night).
Revitalizing Toner

The revitalizing toner works to unclog pores. In addition, it also helps eliminate excess oil production and help balance the tone of your skin. This is also applied twice a day (morning and night), following the use of the Renewing Cleanser. It is recommended to use a sunscreen if going outdoors after using this product.

Repairing Lotion

Another lotion that also contains a potent ingredient called Benzoyl Peroxide. The benzoyl peroxide content in this product is much lesser in quantity as compared to the Renewing Cleanser. It aims to heal blemishes, and prevent new ones from developing. Used twice a day (morning and night), following the use of the Revitalizing Toner. It is recommended to use a sunscreen if going outdoors after using this product as well.

The premise behind the Proactiv guarantee is to provide users with an acne solution that’s potent enough to clear acne, but gentle enough for everyday usage. It works by removing bacteria and dirt that are clogged up in the pores. It also reduces swelling and redness with the help of botanical contents such as allantoin, panthenol, aloe, and chamomile.

Proactiv was developed by a team of two dermatologists. Dr. Katie P. Rodan, M.D. has been named as one of the Best Doctors in America and is a member of numerous professional societies, including the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery and the California Medical Association.

Dr. Kathy A. Fields, M.D.’s practice of medical and surgical dermatology encompasses the treatment of disorders of the skin, hair, and nails, including the excision of benign and malignant skin growths. As an authority on skin disease and aging, a significant portion of Dr. Fields’ practice is devoted to cosmetic dermatology and helping patients who wish to minimize the appearance of the adverse effects of sun exposure. She performs collagen and botox treatments, skin peels, and sclerotherapy of leg veins, as well as laser surgery and liposuction.
