Do you remember hitting puberty and suddenly having all your hormones erupt in little white mountains and fissures on your face? I do! What a horrible time that was. I was obsessive about cleaning my face, and even then, it never failed that if I had something big going on, there would be some huge red zit right in the middle of my forehead! I could easily sympathize when my daughter woke up one morning and her face was all broken out and she had a huge party to go to that weekend! We tried everything on the market, and most would work to some degree, but her acne was not just a few places, it was severe. I had decided that it was time to do the whole doctor routine, which I dreaded because I knew the first thing they were going to want to do was the allergy tests and all the harsh, expensive things that most doctors prescribe for severe acne. Then my shop-a-holic aunt saw an infomercial about Proactiv Solutions and ordered it for my daughter.
I’m always skeptical of things like this advertised on TV, and rarely ever order anything that way. But what did we have to lose? They offered a money back guarantee if we weren’t satisfied, so we tried it. Within the first week we could tell a difference! The redness was gone almost instantly, and within two weeks she didn’t have a blemish on her face (or her back!) at all! I recommend visiting their site to read exactly how their product works. I’m not one to plagerize what someone else has written, so I’m not going to try to explain it all as they have on their site. I’m only going to give you my account of how it has worked for us. I don’t have acne, but I use it as well as my daughter. I love the way it makes my skin feel.
There are four steps that my daughter uses, plus a gentle exfoliating mask once a week. The first step is the renewing cleanser. It is gentle, non-abrasive, and has a nice smell. She’s gotten it on her eye more than once by accident and it didn’t burn her eyes like some other cleansers have. Once you rinse it off and pat your face dry, you apply the second step, which is the revitalizing toner. The fresh scented light green liquid is applied with a cotton ball. It doesn’t burn like some toners that have alcohol in them, and leaves your face feeling fresh and tingly. The repairing lotion is a wonderful moisturizer that doesn’t go on with a greasy feeling, and makes your skin feel so soft. There is also a daily oil-fighter that you can use.
My daughter applies a tiny bit of this weightless gel every morning and it helps her keep from having those oily spots on her face during the day. The weekly refining mask helps unclog pores, removes dead skin and leaves your skin feeling toned and healthy, and glowing. My daughter’s skin cleared up so quickly that her best friend was begging her mom to order the stuff. As for the price, the first kit was $50.00 I think, for a 60 day supply. They conveniently send you a new supply every 60 days for about $40.00. For 60 days worth of product (using every morning and night), that’s not a bad price. It was a heck of a lot cheaper than the doctor visits would have been! I highly recommend this product.
