Proactive Solution Review

Rated: 51 out of 100
by Product-Critic.com

Proactive is designed to not only stop acne but also reverse the damaging effects that acne can have on a persons skin. Proactive Solution consists of a cleanser, toner and lotion. There are other products available but these make up the core Proactive product line and are the line of product which have made this amazing acne formula so famous.

Proactive solutions skin care contains the following products:

Proactive Renewing Cleanser

A water-based renewing cleanser which is oil-free and applied in the morning and the evening. The main active ingredient used in this formula is benzoyl peroxide (2.5%), a powerful anti acne ingredient used in many topical anti-acne preparations.

Proactive Revitalizing Toner

Proactive revitalizing toner is a water-based, alcohol-free liquid that is applied in the morning and at night. Proactive toner utilizes some health skin ingredients such as witch hazel and aloe, two botanicals widely used as astringent skin cleansers.

Proactive Repairing Lotion

The Proactive repairing lotion is a water-based, oil-free light topical cream which is applied in the morning and at night. Proactive solutions active ingredient is benzoyl peroxide (2.5%) - exactly the same ingredient and concentration as Proactive cleanser. This high quality formulation goes above and beyond just plain old benzoyl peroxide. The Proactiv lotion differs from the cleanser because it is intended to be applied to the skin and left there, rather than washed off.

The Proactive system's active ingredient, benzoyl peroxide, is a commonly-used topical treatment for mild acne. Benzoyl peroxide is available in prescription strengths of up to 10%; however, higher concentration formulas can severely dry out the skin. Benzoyl peroxide has the following effects:

  • Antiseptic - it reduces the number of bacteria on the surface of the skin.
  • Oxidizing agent - it reduces the number of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) through oxidation
  • Anti-inflammatory - it reduces swelling, redness and inflammation
