It’s the first Combination Therapy® system that started a skincare revolution!
Designed specifically for acne-prone skin, Proactiv delivers finely-milled benzoyl peroxide deep into your pores to help stop acne-causing bacteria in its tracks and prevent new breakouts from forming.
Thanks to micro-crystal benzoyl peroxide, Proactiv targets the root causes of acne – bacteria, oil production, and dead skin cell build-up – to heal and soothe acne prone skin. Proactiv clears existing blemishes, soothes inflammation and redness, and helps to prevent new breakouts from occurring. 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.
This Proactiv 3-Step System revolutionized the treatment of acne
Each step builds on the step before, attacking the acne cycle to clear current blemishes and help prevent new ones from forming
The Proactiv 3-Step System features advanced micro-crystal benzoyl peroxide—designed to work faster and gentler than ever before
JUST 3 STEPS 2X A DAY = CLEAR, RADIANT SKIN

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 to cleansed skin with a cotton ball or pad, morning and night as needed. Allow toner to dry and follow with Step 3. If going outside, use a sunscreen. If irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
REPAIRING TREATMENT
Use morning and night. On clean skin, apply a thin layer to the entire affected area. Allow to dry. Do not rinse off. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application use. If going outside, use a sunscreen.
