You may have heard me mention in the past how having children changed my body. Not just the odd shaped figure or weight gain. I have started having all sorts of problems I never had before getting pregnant, some more serious than others, but all fairly annoying.
One of those new problems is adult acne. I was lucky enough to never have skin problems growing up. I may have had a blemish now and then, but for the most part I had really clear skin without any effort at all.
Fast forward to my skin now after 3 children. My skin is now a combination of dry areas and oily areas that are prone to breakouts of acne. The dry areas are so dry that they’re sensitive and peeling. I have a hard time using facial cleansers and products because the skin is so drastically different in those areas that I can’t use one product on my entire face. I’ve gotten used to searching for great products for the dry areas and different products for my cheeks, chin and neck.
When I was given the chance to try ProActiv, I was intrigued. I always assumed that ProActiv was for teenagers and never looked further into it. I don’t have the horrible acne I think of some teenagers having, so I thought I would just get by with treatments from the local store. But that never really worked. Eventually the breakouts would clear up, but I don’t think it had anything to do with the products I was using. Those products certainly didn’t prevent new breakouts from happening, either.
I received the ProActiv 365 Kit a few weeks ago and started using it right away. The kit comes with 3 easy steps:
- Cleanse: Massage a dime size amount of Proactiv Renewing Cleanser for 1-2 minutes on damp skin.
- Tone: Place a dime size amount of ProActiv Revitalizing Toner on a cotton ball or pad, then apply a thin layer over the entire area.
- Treat: Place a pea size amount of the ProActiv Repairing Treatment on fingertips, then apply a thin layer over the entire area.
That’s it! I thought it might be a long process, but it was so quick and easy. ProActiv even has skin care advisors (real people!) available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer questions. They can even give you personalized advice on getting the best results for your skin.
Not only was ProActiv easy to use, it didn’t bother my sensitive skin at all. I used the ProActiv on my entire face and neck as instructed. And after only three weeks, I can already see a huge difference in my skin. I’m not getting breakouts around my chin, jaw line or neck any more. Small bumps that used to turn into huge problems now disappear within a day or two.
I’m really impressed with ProActiv. It isn’t just for teenagers at all. I wish I’d realized this after my first daughter was born and I started having problems with my skin. I could have saved a lot of money on products that did nothing but waste my time and I could have avoided the stress and embarrassment that comes with acne.
I took photos to show before and after, but the blemishes really didn’t show up well in the before photo. I really want you to see what a huge difference Proactiv makes, so I’ll show some pictures from one of their own testimonials:
Impressive, isn’t it? I don’t plan to ever buy another drug store or grocery store acne treatment again. If you or one if your children is affected by acne, I recommend giving Proactiv a try immediately. You have nothing to lose. They even have a money-back guarantee if you’re not satisfied. I definitely was!
I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Proactiv and received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
