Proactiv Review - Proactiv Solution for Acne

Proactiv Solution is an acknowledged celebrity certified acne treatment system aimed at giving you that peach and cream complexion you've always craved for. It professes to be the answer for acne that works for everybody regardless of age, skin type or acuteness of your acne. Proactiv asserts to be different because it prevents future breakouts before they even appear on your skin - while other products only target getting rid of the existing acne. This 3-step system promises to clear up acne and improve the appearance of the skin. Proactiv Solution was the brain child of Dr. Kathy Fields and Dr. Katie Rodan. It is formulated to function with all types of skin. Proactive hit the market for the first time in 1995. Today, it is available through Guthy-Renker and can also be obtained by phone or by placing an online order. Fresh Proactive customers commence their course of therapy with the Renewing Cleanser which consists of small exfoliating beads that are intended to eliminate impurities and dead cells from the skin surface. The cleanser also works deep down into the pores. The Proactive Renewing Cleanser treatment is to be used in the morning and evening. In some cases there is could be a possibility of burning, itching, redness, skin peeling and swelling. Proactive users also utilize the alcohol free Revitalizing Toner which aims at cleaning the pores and removing oiliness. It is made of natural ingredients like aloe and witch hazel herbs and is also to be applied twice daily. The third stage of the Proactive treatment regimen is the Repairing Lotion. This is again an oil free product aimed at healing any existing blemishes and helps stop the growth of new acne. Just like the first two products, this one is also supposed to be used in the morning and at night. Just in case this product does not agree with the consumer's skin, Proactive's green tea moisturizer could be used as an alternative. Consumers interested in purchasing Proactive can choose between bundle kits or individual product packs. Three piece kits, that give the consumer a 30 day trial of the treatment, cost around $20. The Repairing Lotion is available in a two ounce size bottle for approximately $22 while the cleanser and toner can be bought for about $15 each. All acne treatments produce varied results and hence receive mixed reviews. Proactive is also not out of the ordinary. The three stage system has won its share of positive reviews as well as pessimistic ones. Even though the product's website quotes a success rate of 85%, it is in sharp contrast to only 42% visitors recommending it in a famous acne forum. It is actually impossible to predict the result of not only Proactiv but of any acne treatment product because it involves so many aspects and the outcome is so subjective. So having a shot at Proactiv will involve finding a satisfactory outcome by experimenting with the product and eliminating failures. Hence if you are willing to invest in a trial bundle, it could be well worth your money spent.
