Week 2

Your pores are beginning to unclog
You may still experience some dryness as your skin continues to adjust to your new treatment routine

Week 3

Your Proactiv routine is beginning to feel second nature. Stick with it!
Blemishes are starting to heal
As your skin continues to balance out, you may notice a more even tone

Pro Tip: Need a moisture boost? Try using an SPF moisturizer during the day and a light moisturizer at night.

Breakouts should be diminishing
Occasional flare-ups should heal faster, making it easier to enjoy more clear skin days

Proactiv Solution has a complete line of products beyond the 3-Step System, including moisturizers, sunscreens, spot treatments and body washes, formulated specifically for acne prone skin

Each step builds on the step before, attacking the acne cycle to clear current blemishes and help prevent new ones from forming

How to Use

JUST 3 STEPS 2X A DAY = CLEAR, RADIANT SKIN: Proactiv Solution is designed to be used consistently for best results
Renewing Cleanser: Apply twice daily, morning and night. Treat your whole face. Apply a small (dime-sized) amount to dampened skin and gently massage with fingertips for 1 to 2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Pat dry and follow with Step 2 (Revitalizing Toner). If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day. If going outside, use a sunscreen.
Revitalizing Toner: Apply twice daily, morning and night, after Step 1 (Renewing Cleanser). Treat whole face. Apply a small amount (dime size) with cotton ball or pad. Leave on; allow to dry. Do not rinse off. Follow with Step 3 (Repairing Treatment).
Repairing Treatment: Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer 1 to 3 times daily. Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with 1 application daily, then gradually increase to 2 or 3 times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day. If going outside, use a sunscreen.
