There are numerous acne-fighting systems on the market that advertise acne-free skin. The Proactiv Solution was developed by dermatologists to provide a complete skin care routine. It promises to fight acne by renewing, revitalizing and repairing your skin.
Step 1
Dampen your face with cool water and squeeze a small amount (approximately the size of a dime) of Renewing Cleanser, which is in the bottle marked with the number 1, onto your fingertips. Massage the cleanser into your skin using your fingertips with gentle circular motions for approximately 2 minutes. Wash your face thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat your face dry with a clean towel; don't rub, as this may irritate your skin.
Step 2
Apply the refining mask. Squeeze a small amount of the refining mask onto your palm and apply in a thin layer to your entire face. Let the mask dry completely; it should take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse off with a lukewarm water. Pat your face gently with a towel. You will need to use the mask only two to three times per week.
Step 3
Apply the Revitalizing Toner (bottle number 2). Pour a small amount on either a cotton ball or cotton pad and gently apply to your entire face. Allow the toner to dry naturally.
Step 4
Apply the Repairing Lotion (bottle number 3). Place a small amount--approximately the size of a pea--on your fingertips. Apply a thin layer on all the affected areas of your face. Let the Repairing Lotion dry naturally. Don't rinse or wipe it off.
Step 5
Use the Green Tea Moisturizer to provide hydration. Apply a small amount to your skin and gently massage. You can wear it alone or put make-up on over it.
Step 6
Perform steps 1, 3, 4 and 5 twice a day--once in the morning and once at night.
