An ideal solution to acne

MANILA, Philippines - Pimples, one of the most visible and unpleasant problems by both teens and adults, are a common cause of loss of confidence and embarrassment. Many tried a myriad of solutions available — natural or cosmetic — all to no avail.

While some would settle with minimizing breakouts, many would still aspire for clear and smooth skin. What they really need is a proactive solution to reduce those breakouts to nil and achieve supple, beautiful skin.

One can achieve smooth and spotless skin in just three easy steps: Renew, revitalize and repair with Proactiv Solution, a total anti-acne solution that creates positive results and will noticeably improve the skin in just a matter of weeks. Not only does Proactiv Solution reduce breakouts, it wipes them out.

First is the Proactiv Solution’s Renewing Cleanser, an oil-free formulated acne cleanser that contains smooth tiny beads that help exfoliate dead skin cells and remove other facial impurities.

It has deep-cleaning, prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide (a grade not available in other store-bought brands) that effectively penetrates the pores, removes and cures blemishes fast.

Next step in getting that acne-free skin is applying the alcohol-free Revitalizing Toner that helps refresh the skin. It unclogs pores and helps remove excess oil for a more rejuvenated and clearer skin using soothing botanicals for a more balanced skin tone.

Simply apply morning and night to your cleansed skin via a cotton ball or pad then allow to dry. For protection when going out, use sunscreen to protect the skin. Just remember that in case there are sensitivity problems, consult a doctor.

Finally, the Proactiv Solution 3-Step Kit has the Repairing Lotion to help provide for a light, oil-free skin. Just like the Renewing Cleanser, the Repairing Lotion also has prescribed-grade benzoyl peroxide lotion that heals blemishes quickly and prevents future breakouts, thus keeping your skin smooth, clean and pimple-free.

Right after the cleansing and toning regimen, just squeeze a small, pea-sized amount onto the palm of your hand and apply a thin layer over the affected area. Allow to dry and do not rinse off. But if irritating dryness or peeling occurs, simply reduce the amount or frequency of application.

Proactiv Solution is available at any Watson’s outlet or SM Department Stores. It also has kiosks at the following malls: the New Glorietta, ground floor; Trinoma, second floor; and Marquee Mall, ground floor.
