Dealing with acne, preventing future breakouts

MANILA, Philippines - Like some of the best things in life, healthy glowing skin is not achieved overnight. Good genes may be a factor, but different elements of adolescence and adulthood can make anyone vulnerable to acne breakouts.

In this digital age, many are so used to immediate feedback and instant results. Unfortunately, there are no quick fixes for acne, for simple redness or a scar to disappear overnight. So for a teenager with acne breakouts due to raging hormones or an adult whose stress levels exacerbate pimple flare-ups, don’t make things worse by resorting to misleading, counterproductive home remedies.

Instead of trial and error, get the sure one —  Proactiv Solution.

Compared to other acne skin care brands, Proactiv Solution is a revolutionary, dermatologist-developed, three-step acne system that helps clear existing acne and prevents future breakouts. In less than five minutes a day, it’s easy to make Proactiv an essential part of a daily skin care regimen.

Proactiv is safe and effective for many, and can help prevent facial blemishes from becoming a larger skin problem. Its mild formulations gently exfoliate skin, remove excess oil, and deliver powerful acne-fighting medicine that can work alone or in combination with a dermatologist’s prescriptions.

Even though there’s no cure for acne, Proactiv Solution treats it safely and effectively by attacking the source, where a build-up of dead skin cells and bacteria clogs the pores. Mild enough to use daily, Proactiv gently cleans and unplugs pores, then penetrates deep into the skin to destroy bacteria and reduce inflammation to keep skin clear without the drying, peeling, or chemical smell.

The Proactiv Combination Therapy acne management system combines finely milled, prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide with sulfur and soothing botanicals like allantoin, panthenol, aloe and chamomile.

Together these ingredients gently exfoliate the skin, unplug pores, attack acne-causing bacteria, and soothe inflammation. The Proactiv System products for acne-prone skin can be used anywhere on the body and can be used in conjunction with cosmetics and other doctor-prescribed medicines.

Proactiv Solution is a perfect skincare tool that will create positive results in a matter of weeks. In only three easy steps, the skin will dramatically improve: renewed, revitalized and repaired. This safe, dermatologist-developed acne system helps clear existing and stubborn acne and prevents them from coming back.

And it’s not just a spot treatment like most other acne products. Gentle and effective, Proactiv Solution is designed to be used on the whole face (or acne-prone area) every day and leaves the skin feeling healthy and hydrated, not dry and flaky.

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. It is also available through door-to-door delivery hotlines (729-2222, 1-800-8-729-8888, 1-800-10-889-4444 or 0917-801-8888). Visit http://my.proactiv.com.ph for more information about Proactiv.
