Proactive acne solution - does this treatment really work?

Proactive Acne Solution is now one of the top selling acne treatments in America. Celebrities such as Vanessa Williams, Jessica Simpson, Stephanie Seymour and Elle MacPherson have all given it the superstar tick but unlike other celebrity endorsed products it does have the medical brains behind the beauty.

Proactive acne treatment was developed in 1995 by two Stanford University trained dermatologists (Dr Katie Rodan and Dr Kathy Fields), who felt strongly about finding a better treatment for acne. They called the treatment proactive solution because they claim the formula can heal existing blemishes while proactively helping to prevent new ones from forming.

Proactive acne treatment works on the concept of treating the whole face rather than working on individual blemishes. It is a combination therapy that uses several different medicines in one system to heal and prevent blemishes. Proactive solution uses a three step approach involving a cleanser, renewing cleanser, revitalizing toner and repairing lotion.

The cleanser contains a gentle exfoliant which helps to unblock the pores and benzoyl peroxide which is an ingredient that helps to dry out and sterilize blemishes. The revitalizing toner also helps to unclog pores as well as remove any dead skin cells that can potentially cause blemishes. The repairing lotion is the final step in the treatment which transports benzoyl peroxide deep into the pores to kill acne causing bacteria at the source of the problem.

As well as the three step treatment there is a four step treatment that includes a daily oil control product, or an oil free moisturizer with SPF 15 or there is a five piece treatment that includes both. There is also a proactive mask which is a bit like an added extra to boost the three step treatment.
