Heal and prevention are the best solution to get the top skin care for acne since there’s no acne cures. Acne is a skin problem that affects mainly young people, causing great anxiety and even decrease in self-esteem, depression and isolation. Acne vulgaris (commonly acne) affects not only the face but any body area that contains a great concentration of sebaceous follicles, as the upper part of the chest and the back too.

So we want to be acne free on specific areas although not so specific that the treatment only has effect on one pimple at time. Most acne skin care products are just conceived to act on some spots, on pimples, and even cause some irritation on your skin (and redness). This becomes the main difference between Proactiv products and the common acne skin care treatment products. Proactiv Skin Solution was developed to both works as a cleanser, acting on the existing acne, and also as a preventive treatment. It’s never enough to reinforce the proactive acne care concept which is the most effective acne solution. We want to prevent and not only heal the existing problem.

This penetration will also act on the direct source: bacteria. It’s mild enough to be used every day, contrary to some of the available products that contain a higher concentration of acid, thus not permitting a daily use. It maintains the effectiveness over time since there is no bacteria resistance to benzoyl.

This one will eliminate the clogged pores and removes: plug; dead skin cells (from the exfoliation of the renewing cleanser); and excess oil, preparing your skin for the next one (Repairing lotion). At this stage, some botanicals will bring stability to your skin tone with the use of this toner (alcohol free).
