Pimple scar treatment

If you suffer from acne, then no doubt you’ve spent some time checking the various acne solutions that are available on the market. When you’re faced with a huge range of products, many of them with advertising claims that border on miracle cures, it’s hard to know which product to choose.

So let’s take a look at one of the most popular acne solutions in America today – the Proactiv Solution – so that you’re not completely in the dark about at least one product when you’re making your choice!

Proactiv Solution was developed by 2 Stamford trained dermatologists. One of the reasons it’s so popular is because it does 2 things:

- Heals existing blemishes

- Stops new blemishes forming

It does this by combining an acne management treatment system using prescription grade ingredients with a system that works to heal and prevent acne at the same time. This unique fighting system combines finely milled benzoyl peroxide, sulfur and its own special formulation. These ingredients gently exfoliate the skin, unplug the pores and attack the acne causing bacteria as well as soothing the inflammation caused by the acne.

There are plenty of acne medications you can buy in stores that are spot treatments, specifically designed to get rid of the existing acne you have one spot at a time. These are usually made from harsh creams which can cause redness or irritation to your skin. Acne causes enough skin problems, without the products you use adding to them.

Proactiv Solution can be used on the whole face (or just acne prone areas) each day. It will not only get rid of existing acne but it actively helps to prevent any future breakouts before they even appear on your skin. As it is formulated from soothing botanicals like allantoin, panthenol, aloe and chamomile it will leave your skin feeling healthy and hydrated.

One of the big problems with Proactiv Solution is that it can be confusing for some people to use. This is because it contains three stages, which are as follows:-

1. Renewing Cleanser – This oil free formula contains smooth tiny grains which gently exfoliate dead skin cells and other impurities. It contains prescription grade benzoyl peroxide to penetrate the pores and attack the bacteria causing the acne. This helps the blemishes to heal faster.

2. Revitalizing Toner. A refreshing alcohol free toner which removes dead skin cells, unclogs the pores and helps to remove any excess oil from your skin so it looks and feels refreshed. The soothing botanical agents in this toner help to balance a person’s skin tone.

3. Repairing Lotion. A light oil free lotion which contains finely milled prescription grade benzoyl peroxide that heals blackheads and blemishes and also helps to prevent future acne breakouts. This lotion is soothing and safe to use on your entire face.

There are lots of good acne solutions on the market, and Proactiv Solution certainly isn’t the simplest and easiest to use. But having said that, it’s a very popular choice for many people, because they find it works. I hope this article has helped you get an understanding of what Proactiv Solution does, and also given you some ideas about questions you can ask when you’re considering other products.
