My Proactiv Solution Experience: LOVE IT! Review & Giveaway!

by Tanya on June 16, 2009

I think we have all seen the Proactiv Solution commercials on TV. Are you curious if it really works and if it really helps your skin, or is it just another face product that you could live without? I have been using Proactiv now for about 2 weeks straight and I can totally see a difference in my face. I don’t really have a lot of acne, but I do have some from time to time and I have some scaring from my teenage years from breakouts. Today, about 2 weeks later, my skin is clear, my skin has no signs of the past breakouts at all, my skin looks great and it FEELS great!

Proactiv Solution is different than other acne skin care. It’s a revolutionary, dermatologist-developed, 3-step acne system that both helps clear existing acne and prevent future breakouts. Requiring less than 5 minutes a day, it’s easy to make Proactiv part of your daily skin care regimen.

PA609_BASIC_W_REFNG_MSK

product-renewing

A unique, oil-free formulated acne cleanse
Smooth tiny beads exfoliate dead skin cells and other impurities
Deep cleaning, prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide – a grade not available in store-bought brands –penetrates pores, attacks and heals blemishes fast

product-revitalizing

* Refreshing, alcohol-free toner
* Removes plug to eliminate clogged pores
* Helps remove excess oil for refreshed, clear skin, while soothing botanicals gently balance your skin tone

* A light, oil-free skin-clearing lotion
* Prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide lotion heals blemishes, and helps prevent new one

Even though there’s no acne cure, Proactiv’s acne treatment treats skin safely and effectively by attacking acne at the source, where a build-up of dead skin cells and bacteria clogs your pores. It is strong enough to clear and prevent acne but gentle enough to use everyday.

I never really have been a ‘facial cleaner’, but I clean my face with Proactiv daily. Daily! I guess you can say that ‘I just never found the right product…. Until now. I love how my face isn’t oily after using the cleanser, toner and lotion. I have no shine on my face, like I have had from previous routines. How do I like Proactive? Love it! Am I glad I tried it? Absolutely! Do I recommend it? Of course! Hubby says that my skin is softer and looks like ‘I am glowing’. After starting this routine, I am hooked. My confidence comes out in my skin and through my smile.

152 Cindy B. in Montana...now in Oklahoma June 15, 2009 at 1:32 am: Thanks for your thoughts on this! I am just about sold on giving this a try. Good heavens, you’d think by the time you’re a grandma you shouldn’t have to deal with acne…but here I still am with the breakouts here and there!

BTW, we love the VADO!!!! Thanks!
