MANILA, Philippines - Let’s demystify some myths about acne: junk food and chocolate don’t cause it.
Let’s get some facts clear: junk food and chocolate don’t cause acne breakouts. Environmental, physical or emotional factors, exposure to dirt, hormonal changes, physical irritation from clothing and accessories, use of medications, and most of all stress and anxiety, may contribute to or worsen acne.
Though there’s no known cure for acne, Proactiv Solution treats it safely and effectively by attacking the dead skin cells and bacteria that clogs the pores.
Mild enough to use every day, it gently cleans and unplugs the pores, then the combination of medicine penetrates deep into the skin to destroy bacteria and reduce inflammation without the drying, peeling, or chemical smell.
The Proactiv Combination Therapy acne management system 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.
Step 1: The Renewing Cleanser, is 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 (not available in store-bought brands) that penetrates pores, attacks and heals blemishes fast.
Use it morning and night. Apply just a small (dime-sized) amount to dampened skin and gently massage for one to two minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water then pat dry.
Follow with Step 2: Revitalizing Toner, an soap-free toner that removes plug to eliminate clogged pores, and helps remove excess oil for a refreshed, clear skin, while soothing botanicals gently balance skin tone. Every morning and night, apply to cleansed skin with a cotton ball or pad then allow to dry.
Then there’s Step 3: Repairing Treatment, a light, oil-free skin-clearing lotion, also with prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide lotion, that heals blemishes and helps prevent new ones from appearing. Use it morning and night.
After cleansing and toning, squeeze a pea-sized amount and spread a thin layer over the entire affected area. Allow to dry. Do not rinse off. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce the amount or frequency of application. If you are going outside, use sunscreen to protect your skin. If irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
Proactiv Solution is a perfect skin care tool that will create positive results in a matter of weeks. In only three easy steps, your skin will dramatically improve: renewed, revitalized and repaired.
This safe, dermatologist-developed acne system helps clear existing and stubborn acne and prevents them from coming back. It’s not just a spot treatment like other acne products. Gentle and effective, it is designed for use on the whole face (or acne-prone area) every day, and leaves skin feeling healthy and hydrated, not dry and flaky.
