A Product Review of Proactiv

Today, Proactiv Solution is the best selling acne prevention product in America. Many claim that it is not a “skin care product” but “a miracle worker” - and the real life stories of the people who have used this product are there to back this claim up. 

It has a simple approach: to kill the source of acne, and then provide the conditions to stimulate and renew healthy skin. Their approach has a history of providing thousands with clearer skin while other products have failed. For a start, many other products use the same active ingredients, which are Benzoyl Peroxide, Glycolic Acid and Allantoin. There are differences between the products, shown by their differing amounts of success. For example Exposed, which uses all the products Proactiv uses, has less effective results. This is largely due to the proportions of the ingredients used and improper application. 

Proactiv Solution is technically a ‘system’. It uses three steps. The first, the renewing cleanser, exfoliates the skin and attacks the cause of the acne. The second, called the revitalizing toner, unplugs the pores and the final step is the repairing lotion, which heals blemishes and prevents future blackheads. 

If you are considering purchasing the system that it is in your best interests to know how it works. Briefly, acne is caused by hair follicles plugged with oil on dead cells, a common occurrence on our face since we have a lot of hair on our skin there. Bacteria thrives in your face's oily condition and when your white blood cells attack the bacteria, the area becomes inflamed and is seen on the surface as a spot. The technical name for this blemish is a comedo.
