Proactiv is a very popular acne fighting system. This is largely due to its vast television advertising, which features celebrities such as Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, among others.

The Proactiv system consists of three steps - cleansing, revitalizing and repairing. The Proactiv products contain botanicals and other effective acne fighting ingredients.

The first step in the regimen is cleansing. The exfoliating cleanser contains tiny granules, which remove dead skin and allows the pores to be open and clean. Preventing clogged pores is a vital step in any acne treatment.

The second step of the Proactiv system consists of using the Revitalizing Toner. The toner is applied with a cotton ball or makeup pad after the cleansing step. Botanicals are contained in the toner, which help the overall condition of the skin.

The last step is repairing. This product is applied directly to existing blemishes. The active ingredient in this lotion is benzoyl peroxide, a powerful acne tool. Some people have stated that their pimples have vastly improved or even disappeared overnight!

Proactiv can be very drying for certain skin types. Due to its money-back guarantee, however, you really have nothing to lose by trying the system, except, maybe your acne.
