The Users Reviews For Proactiv Solution
The three-step acne treatment is formulated to work as a combination therapy for acne treatment. The system is available in both a special 30 day trial sized kit and a full sized 60 day supply. The three steps are as follows :1. Renewing Cleanser
The Renewing Cleanser has benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient. It gently exfoliates dead skin cells, allowing benzoyl peroxide to penetrate in to pores.2. Revitalizing Toner
The Revitalizing Toner is used to hydrate the cleansed skin. It contains witch hazel, dog rose fruit extract, aloe vera leaf juice, allantoin, and anthemis nobilis flower extract. Revitalizing Toner soothes and softens skin while removing pore-clogging impurities.3. Repairing Lotion
The Repairing Lotion also contains benzoyl peroxide; a comparatively smaller dose of it is applied, and then not rinsed off but rather allowed to dry, in order to suppress bacteria buildup. Repairing Lotion hydrates skin while penetrating deep in to pores to stop acne-causing bacteria at the source itself.

What do celebrities Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston, Alyssa Milano, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Katy Perry, Avril Lavigne, Mandy Moore, Julianne Hough, Melissa Claire Egan, Ryan Sheckler, Michala Banas, Alicia Keys, Jenna Fischer, Delta Goodrem, Chrishell Stause, Jennifer Berry, Judith Light and P. Diddy (Sean) Combs have in common besides being in the entertainment business? They all use Proactiv Solution for acne.
While some of these celebrities reportedly had used Accutane® (isotretinoin) and other products prior to using Proactive, they all credit the acne medication from doctors Rodan and Fields for clearing their complexions and keeping them acne free. So, what is Proactiv?
What is Proactiv?
According to the website, Proactiv is designed to attack acne below the skin's surface proactively—"delivering the right combination of medicines and skin-care agents, in the right order and concentrations, to help control the acne cycle before breakouts occur." Proactiv Solution uses a mild solution of the prescription-grade acne medicine benzoyl peroxide, an antibacterial agent, as one of the main active ingredients along with other skin care ingredients to unclog pores, kill acne-causing bacteria, soothe inflammation and condition skin.
Proactiv Solution Designed to Treat Total Acne-Prone Area
Unlike treatments which are applied to pimples, the Proactiv Solution regime is designed to treat the entire acne-prone area--face, neck, chest, shoulders and back--to treat breakouts under the skin before the blemishes appear.
Proactiv Stops Working after Time for Some People
Shelley in Nashville said she successfully used Proactive when she was a teenager, but had recently stopped in her 20s because Proactive no longer worked for her. On the internet, I read comments from others who said Proactive caused some dryness and irritation after they used it for several years. Now there is a new formula for older skin from the same doctors who make Proactive.
Unblemish Treatment for Older Skin
Rodan + Fields now makes the Unblemish regime for older victims of acne, those with dryer skin, and those with cystic acne. Skin changes as it ages, and what worked last year may not work this year. Unblemish is a new regimen specially formulated for different skin types than Proactiv. Unblemish uses benzoyl peroxide to unclog pores, clear breakouts and help prevent pimples, blackheads and post-acne marks in combination with ingredients like allantoin for moisturizing and smoothing. If Proactive no longer works or is making your skin dry or irritated, Unblemish might be a good alternative.
