History

Proactive Solution was founded in 1995 by Katie Rodan, MD and Kathy Fields, MD, Dermatologists. While studying at Stanford University, Katie and Kathy discussed their desire to help improve skin tone, heal blemishes, blackheads and whiteheads. Dr Rodan and Dr Fields state that the Proactiv Solution system gets its name because of the pro-activeness of the the formula that heals existing blemishes and helps to prevent new ones from developing. Selling exclusively online at proactiv.com and through television infomercials, Proactiv Solution combines trace amounts of prescription grade medications along with natural botanicals to help treat and sooth the skin. The end result is soft, clear, young looking, pampered skin.

Products

The first product within the Proactive System is the oil free renewing cleanser. The cleanser works deep down to exfoliate dead skin cells and dirt deep within the skin's surface. This should be used daily along with the other products for maximum effectiveness. Next, the revitalizing toner is used to even skin tone and remove blackheads, refresh the cleansed area and soothe the skin with natural botanicals. Lastly, the repairing lotion seals the work that the first two products do---setting the foundation for a clean protected face and make-up if necessary. There is also a daily oil control product that is optional with every order. Proactiv also offers free products with every order including trial size versions of all three products, an oil free moisturizer, a face the facts guide and a the clear skin club membership ( discounts on additional beauty products and affiliate companies partnered with Proactiv)
