Proactiv Skincare Products
Benzoyl peroxide, the active ingredient in the popular Proactiv line of skincare products, has been used as a bleaching agent for more than half a century. It is considered a safe and effective acne treatment for people over the age of 12, although some people can have a negative reaction to it. However, many products such as Proactiv, which are considered safe for most people, may not be suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Instructions
1. Talk to your doctor about using Proactiv or any other medication if you are pregnant, may become pregnant or are breastfeeding. Tell your doctor about all other medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, that you are taking. If your physician feels using Proactiv is appropriate proceed to Step 2. If you physician recommends against using this product, do not use Proactiv and ask him or her to suggest alternatives.
2. Dampen your face with warm water. Pour a dime-sized amount of Proactiv Renewing Cleanser into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together and apply the cleanser to the damp skin on your face. Massage the area thoroughly for a couple of minutes.
3. Rinse your hands and face with warm running water until the cleanser is completely removed. Pat your face and hands dry with a cotton towel.
4. Pour a small amount of Proactiv Revitalizing Toner onto a cotton ball or pad. Lightly rub the pad over the entire cleansed area. Allow the toner to completely air dry.
