Proactiv 3-Step System

Proactiv is probably the first acne treatment that comes to mind when we think about acne treatment systems. Proactiv is a simple 3-step system designed to stop acne before it starts, and keep it from coming back.

When you order Proactiv you’ll get a one-month supply of the system which includes: the Renewing Cleanser, Revitalizing Toner, and Repairing Treatment. You’ll also receive a free gift and be automatically enrolled in Distinct Skin Club. The total cost of the initial Proactiv system is $19.95 plus s/h. Then every 90 days you’ll be shipped a 90 day supply of the system, however, if for any reason you aren’t satisfied you can cancel at any time.

The Proactiv system is formulated with prescription-grade Benzoyl Peroxide, which kills the bacteria that causes pimples. Proactiv is designed to stop pimples before they launch, and accumulate rid of any existing pimples. The system is quite effective for some people and some types of acne. Benzoyl peroxide is a very common ingredient in acne treatments. The thing that sets Proactiv apart from other Benzoyl Peroxide treatments is that it’s also formulated with botanicals to soothe skin, and decrease irritation. Proactiv is also meant to be used on the entire face, as opposed to treating pimples as they appear. It’s also a lot more gentle than other Benzoyl Acne treatments, which can cause dryness and flaking.

The Renewing Cleanser contains 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, which is a higher level than most over-the-counter treatments. It also contains tiny beads to exfoliate your skin while cleansing. The Revitalizing Cleanser is alcohol-free, and contains glycolic acid to help exfoliate your skin, and witch hazel to soothe it. The Repairing Treatment is oil-free and also contains 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide to combat breakouts.

Proactiv is great option for mild to moderate acne. It won’t aid with cystic acne, as this should be treated by a dermatologist. If you’re interested or would like more information visit the Proactiv website.
