How to Get Started with the Proactive Skincare System

If you’re battling acne or experiencing frequent breakouts, the Proactiv skincare system may be a good fit for you. This celebrity-endorsed product line is a three-step system that includes a cleanser, toner and repairing treatment made with acne-fighting ingredients. It’s designed for all skin types, and you can purchase it online through an auto ship program so that you never run out of the product.

Here’s what you need to know about getting started with the Proactiv skincare system:

Your Daily Skincare Regimen with Proactiv

When you begin using the Proactiv skincare line, you’ll need to replace your current cleanser, toner and other products completely. It can take some time for your skin to adjust to this change, so don’t be surprised if you experience more breakouts than usual, or if your skin becomes a little dry and sensitive. Your skin will adjust within a few days of using the Proactiv products, so you just need to be consistent with it.

Your daily skincare regimen will consist of applying the Proactiv Renewing Cleanser, the Proactiv Revitalizing Toner, and the Proactiv Repairing Treatment.

For best results, you will need to do the following:

• Use the Renewing Cleanser twice per day, once in the morning and once at night
• Use the Revitalizing Toner after the cleanser, twice per day
• Apply the Repairing Treatment immediately after the Revitalizing Toner treatment, twice per day
• Use a sunscreen-infused moisturizer to protect the skin daily
• Deep-cleanse the skin at least once per week with an acne treatment mask (Proactiv does make its own Refining Mask)

The three-step system is easy to follow, and will replace your current skin cleansing and toning routine entirely.

Products to Enhance Results with Proactiv

In addition to purchasing the three-step acne kit, you can purchase the “deluxe” version which contains a skin refining mask, daily oil control solution and an oil-free moisturizer. These products can help to enhance the results you are getting with the Proactiv three-step solution, and can be used at least once per week.

The refining mask is a deep-cleansing mask made with 6% sulfur. This mask is designed to reduce inflammation and even out your skin tone. It can also help heal blemishes, so if you’re dealing with acne scars or marks from breakouts, use this mask to restore your skin. You can use it up to three times per week, or more as needed.

The Daily Oil Control formula is designed to balance out your skin, and is especially beneficial for oily skin types. This formula acts as a shield under makeup and will prevent your pores from clogging up. You can use it every day after you have applied the Proactiv Repairing Treatment.

The deluxe system also contains a travel-size version of the Green Tea Moisturizer. This moisturizer is actually a green tea serum that penetrates deep into the skin’s surface upon application. It contains minerals and botanicals to freshen up the skin, and it is a very lightweight formula that won’t clog pores.
