It’s estimated that one in four adults between the ages of 25 and 44 experiences facial breakouts. Nearly half of all adult women experience mild to moderate acne blemishes.

Combination therapy

While skin experts believe that there are really no shortcuts to clear skin, it is essential to find the best long-term solution to prevent and treat acne.

Proactiv Solution has a Combination Therapy acne management system—which combines finely milled, prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide with sulfur and soothing botanicals like allantoin, panthenol, aloe and chamomile to gently exfoliate skin, unplug pores, attack acne-causing bacteria and soothe inflammation.

Most acne breakouts are treated with topical medications, while some severe cases of inflammatory acne may require prescriptions and oral medication, but may cause unwanted side effects.

Three-step system

Proactiv Solution’s three-step system:

Step 1 is using the Renewing Cleanser, a unique, oil-free formulated acne cleanser with smooth, tiny beads that exfoliate dead skin cells and other impurities, with deep-cleaning, prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide, a grade not available in store-bought brands. It penetrates pores, and attacks and heals blemishes fast.

Step 2 is the Revitalizing Toner, a refreshing, alcohol-free toner that eliminates clogged pores. It also helps remove excess oil to create refreshed, clear skin, while soothing botanicals gently balance your skin tone.

Step 3 is the Repairing Lotion, a light, oil-free skin-clearing lotion, also with prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide lotion that heals blemishes and helps prevent new ones.

Proactiv Solution is available at Watson’s and SM Department Stores. They also have kiosks at the following malls: The New Glorietta, G/F; TriNoma, 2/F; Robinsons Galleria, 3/F; and Marquee Mall, G/F. Visit https://my.proactiv.com.ph
