Proactiv Acne Treatment - Should I Try It?

By: Mike Singh Home | Health-and-Fitness | Acne


Proactiv is one of the most recognized treatments for acne. Developed by two dermatologists, Dr. Kathy Fields and Dr. Katie Rodan, Proactiv works on more than just the spot treatment" of blemishes and acne. Proactiv acne treatment cleanses, tones and provides a repairing lotion.

Celebrities endorsement

Many celebrities and high profile individuals endorse proactiv acne treatment. Jessica Simpson, Vanessa Williams, and Elle Macpherson are just some of the celebrities that use and promote Proativ. Proactiv has used celebrity true-life experiences to market their products to a target audience. They are live proof that Proactiv does work. Proactiv is marketed to both a teenage target group as well as to a more adult audience. It is important to note that acne is a problem for people of all ages, and many acne suffers are in their thirties and forties.

Treatment Packs

Proactiv works in three ways:

- Renewing cleanser gently exfoliates skin and provides anti-bacterial benzoyl peroxide
- Revitalizing toner removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores and removes excess oil
- Repairing lotion uses benzoyl peroxide to heal existing blemishes and prevent further breakouts.

In addition to these basic products some treatment packs also include oil free moisture to hydrate skin and provide SPF 15 protection. Daily oil control is also available as an additional treatment to prevent oil build up and keep your face shine free during the day.

What do users say about Proactiv acne treatment?

Proactiv has developed a gallery on their website that allows individuals to send in before and after pictures. The change is amazing. Millions of people have used Proactiv and have reported success for the first time in treating and controlling acne and breakouts. People have sent in comments about how easy using the Proactiv acne treatment system is, and how they wish they had tried it sooner.

Not only is a person's complexion changed using Proactiv, so is their outlook on life and on themselves. They no longer cover their skin with make-up or wear hats pulled low over their faces. People report feeling good about going out, proud of themselves, and happy to be free from acne.

Our recommendation for those considering acne treatments to do some more research and consult a dermatologist before considering proactiv or some other treatment.
