Proactiv Solution is a Three Stage Treatment System In brief, Proactiv Solution is a three stage acne and skin care treatment system that relies heavily on benzoyl peroxide as its core active ingredient.
It includes a cleanser, a toner and then a specially formulated lotion as the third stage.
It Treats Your Skin as it Treats the Acne Problem What's so different about this system, when compared to other acne treatment systems of the past that relied on this ingredient, is that this system treats your skin as it functions to eradicate acne.
It allows the skin to heal.
Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment of the Past You see, up until the advent of the Proactiv System, acne sufferers who relied on benzoyl peroxide for a remedy, had to deal with the harsh side effects that it so often left behind in its wake.
Dry, red flaky skin, etc.
You Still May Encounter Some Mild Side Effects This is not to say that people who use the Proactiv System don't have to deal with any side effects because inevitably there will always be some.
They just won't be as drastic as they may have experienced with other products in the past.
A Newly Reformulated Three Stage System Even so, there will always be a select group of acne sufferers who tend to be more susceptible to the side effects of benzoyl peroxide and some may even be allergic to it.
For them, Proactiv now has a newly reformulated three stage kit.
It Replaces Benzoyl Peroxide With Salicylic Acid This new kit replaces the benzoyl peroxide with salicylic acid.
Salicylic acid not only functions to kill acne casing bacteria but it also is a highly effective chemical exfoliant.
It reaches deep down inside of pores to dissolve away dead skin cells and congealed sebum.
