Today lets talk about skin care. How random yet timely as I woke up with a pimple now while enjoying my 1st day of work related travel here at Bangkok. Next week I’ll be in Bangladesh and I hope this will stop sooner. Anyhow, I am aware that this pimple didn’t happen overnight. For everyone’s information, An acne blemish begins approximately 2-3 weeks before it appears on our skin’s surface. So while it may seem like we get a pimple overnight, what we’re actually seeing is the final stage of a much longer process.
Before I tried putting a lipstick (some people told me it worked before) on the dot or trying to wash my face everytime. I was wrong with all these experiments. So to actually know my pimple, I read again about taking care of facial skin and found out that this starts in our sebaceous hair follicles – the tiny holes you know as pores. Deep within each follicle, our sebaceous glands are working to produce sebum, the oil that keeps your skin moist and pliable. As our skin renews itself, the old cells die, mix with our skin’s natural oils, and are sloughed off. Under normal circumstances, these cells are shed gradually, making room for fresh new skin.
With testimonies of my friends resolving this facial problems, they all mention almost the same way. The Proactiv way of preventing acne. There is Proactiv Solution’s Combination Therapy that they always mention.
Proactiv Solution prevents acne at the root cause and destroys the acne cycle:
1. The Proactiv Renewing Cleanser (Step 1) and the Proactiv Revitalizing Toner (Step 2) works by removing dead skin cells, ensuring that the pores don’t get clogged.
2. The Proactiv Revitalizing Toner (Step 2) removes excess oils too, eliminating food for bacteria.
3. The Proactiv Renewing Cleanser (Step 1) and the Proactiv Repairing Treatment (Step 3) kills the bacteria and prevent proliferation
4. The Free Refining Mask helps reduce the inflammation and swelling.

Why Proactiv is Superior to Other Treatment Methods
Other treatments are reactive, spot-treating pimples when these are visible and inflamed – already at the tail end of the acne formation process. These treatments often leave scars or dark marks, and do nothing to prevent future breakouts.
Proactiv Solution Vs. Overnight Spot Treatments. Spot treatment is the most commonly used method of treating acne because these are cheap, easy to apply, and more often than not promising miracle cure overnight. These products mostly contain high concentration benzoyl peroxide at 5% or 10% which kill the acne bacteria, but results to redness or irritation. These products may also cause hyper pigmentation (dark acne marks).
Proactiv Solution contains only 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, a safe and effective concentration which makes it OK for daily use and may be applied to the whole face. With Proactiv’s Advanced Microcrystal technology, eradicating bacteria is faster and gentler than common spot treatments.
Proactiv Solution Vs. Topical Antibiotics. Doctors need to supervise people using antibiotics because the long term use of antibiotics in general may cause bacterial resistance – making the person “immune” to the benefits of the active ingredient.
Proactiv Solution will never have bacterial resistance because it does not contain an antibiotic, but rather an anti-microbial agent. It is safe for long term use for the treatment and prevention of acne.
Proactiv Solution vs. Oral Drugs. When acne is severe, dermatologists sometimes prescribe oral drugs like isotretinoin or hormonal pills. There are studies that support that these methods are extremely effective for severe cases, but because of the nature of these drugs there are side effects that make it questionable if the benefits truly outweigh the cost.
For example, there were reports in 2010 linking suicidal tendencies and psychotic behaviors among acne patients on isotretinoin.
Hormonal pills, which are mainly indicated as a contraceptive sometimes causes water retention, weight gain, mood swings, and in the long run, even breast cancer.
Proactiv Solution does not have these side effects!
Proactiv Solution Vs. Derm Clinic Injections. The Philippine Dermatological Society is campaigning for awareness among Filipinos to patronize only the services of highly qualified doctors, and not to be too trusting of attendants who may not have the proper training and experience to do this. This type of procedure is extremely painful, and when done by inexperienced hands, may cause scars for life. And because acne is a cyclical condition, recurring acne imposes recurring painful injections.
Proactiv Solution is gentle on you. With advanced micronized benzoyl peroxide and ingredients designed by Doctors Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields, your journey to clear skin is one that does not incite pain.
Proactiv Solution Vs. Custom Derm Packs. The promise of acne’s miracle cure comes in different shapes, sizes, and prices. But do not always think that designer packs that costs Php 10,000 in expensive clinics are great! Expensive acne systems often do not have the backing of massive consumer trial from all over the world, and you end up being a guinea pig.
Here’s a suggestive way of applying it.
Proactiv Solution is the world’s number 1 anti-acne. Millions of customers worldwide can testify on how effective Proactiv is, including Hollywood superstars. Proactiv even dares you to try it risk free – you get your money back if you’re not happy.
So guys, now you try it! You decide! Proactiv is good help!
