How to Use Proactiv Repairing Lotion

Proactiv Repairing Lotion is part of the Proactiv product line designed to treat acne. Proactiv claims that the lotion destroys acne-causing bacteria. The active ingredient in Proactiv Repairing Lotion is benzoyl peroxide, which cures mild or moderate cases of acne. PubMed Health, a website of the National Institutes of Health, warns users of products containing benzoyl peroxide to avoid skin irritants, such as alcohol-containing products, medicated cosmetics, sunlamps, sunlight and abrasive soaps or cleansers.

Step 1

Wash the area of the skin you plan to apply the lotion to thoroughly. It is important to have clean skin before using the product.

Step 2

Spread a thin layer of the lotion completely over the area of the skin affected by acne. Use Proactiv repairing lotion twice daily: once in the morning and once in the evening.

Step 3

Let the lotion completely dry on the skin. Do not rinse.

Tips and Warnings

  • Proactiv advises users to use a moisturizer if skin dryness occurs after using this product.
