Why You Should Use Proactiv Solution
By: Megan
   
          Imagine that you are going to a huge party. The whole school will be there and you've picked out the perfect outfit, got your hair just right, and everything is going perfect. You are so ready to go. But then as you take one last glance in the mirror you notice you have an ugly, giant pimple right on the tip of your nose, just like Rudolph the red nose reindeer. Looks like tonight won't be as great as you thought it would. Statistics show that of 8 out of 10 preteens an d teens suffer from acne. That's 17 million just in America. I'm sorry to tell you that there is actually no "cure" for acne but I do know what can help: Proactiv. Proactive Solution, the best selling acne treatment in America, heals and prevents acne. You might be thinking that's what every acne product claims but I assure you this product is excellent.
         Proactiv Solution was invented by Dr. Katie Rogan and Dr. Kathy Fields. Both dermatologists have their medical degree. Dr. Rogan attended the University of Southern California School of Medicine and is currently a Clinical Associate Professor of Dermatology at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Fields attended University of Miami School of Medicine and now is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at the University of California San Francisco. These two dermatologists co-founded their company called Rogan+Fields. Obviously if they didn’t know what they were doing then they couldn’t have formed their business.
    So you might be wondering about this product, how does it work, does it work, what’s in it, are there any active ingredients in this solution. Okay, so Proactiv’s basic kit is called the 3-step system and comes with a renewing cleanser, revitalizing toner, and repairing lotion. Step 1 is the renewing cleanser, which has one active ingredient called Benzoyl Peroxide. Benzoyl Peroxide zaps zits and cleans out the dirt. To use the renewing cleanser you simply squeeze a dime-sized amount on your fingers and massage for 1-2 minutes. Then rinse your face thoroughly until no cleanser is left and pat dry. The second step is the revitalizing toner. This toner has no active ingredients and is alcohol free so it will not dry your face out like other products, it is actually made to hydrate your skin. Use a cotton ball or some similar material to pour the toner onto. Then apply the toner to your skin. The third step is the repairing lotion. This product also has 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide. You simply use this lotion to moisturize your face. Proactiv also provides products with Sylacid Acid, so if you are allergic to Benzoyl Proxide you can still use Proactiv. Sylacid Acid is almost the same thing except better for those with sensitive skin. The only thing you have to worry about now is wearing sunscreen when you go outside because of the Benzoyl Peroxide, which brings us to our next topic.
    You might have heard that Benzoyl Peroxide is very dangerous and you should not use it. But you see this is not the case, Benzoyl Peroxide is only dangerous when you use it and go out in the sun with no sunscreen. Which by the way you should not go outside without applying sunscreen anyway. I have talked to a Proactiv Specialist reassuring me that Benzoyl Proxide is not dangerous and is perfectly safe. Also many other acne treatments such as Clinique, Clean&Clear, Neutrogena, and Clearasil use Benzoyl Peroxide.  If this ingredient wasn’t safe then why would so many products include it?
    Research studies have shown acne can cause low self esteem and stress. When you talk to people you want to know they are looking at you and not your zits. Acne has a physical and emotional impact. We do not need people feeling down about themselves because of silly bumps on their face. Proactiv can and will help. There is no need to have these excess problems in your life. so why not use Proactiv to eliminate one? 
    Not only is Proactiv used by every day regular people, it is also used by celebrities. Ryan Sheckler, Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore, Kelly Clarkson, Lindsay Lohan, Melissa Claire Egan, and Alicia Keys have all used this product. Imagine having access to basically any dermatologists and acne treatments in the world and you pick Proactiv. That is really saying that it works and is reliable. Ryan Sheckler even admits he was a little self conscious about his acne before he used Proactiv. Melissa Claire Egan states that she wasn’t proud of her pictures because of her pimples, but then she started to use Proactiv and has been for 7 years! Even Jennifer Berry, Miss Teen USA uses it! If your occupation is looking good wouldn’t you want to use their same skin product?
    If you do not believe Proactiv works read some reviews and you will see the truth. Many people who say Proactiv does not work have probably only used it for a week or so. But to get an actual result you should at least use Proactiv for 6 weeks. You should apply the 3-step solution every morning and night unless instructed otherwise by a doctor.

So let's review, we've talked about acne problems, who created Proactiv, how to use Proactiv and how it works, Benzoyl Peroxide in Proactiv, how Proactiv can help raise your self esteem, celebrities who use Proactiv, and how long you should use it. You should be able to enjoy that party with a clean, clear face!
