Guide to Proactiv’s Proactive Products

Moisturizing Proactiv Products for Acne Prone Skin

One of the most popular moisturizing Proactiv products is the Sheer Tint Moisture with SPF 15. This product contains a combination of ingredients that moisturize the skin while helping protect it from harmful UV rays. This helps you keep your skin healthy for years instead of sacrificing your future looks for a clear face today. The moisturizing sunscreen comes in a variety of shades. Pick one that matches your skin tone and you can protect yourself from the sun and acne while looking completely natural.

Nourishing Eye Cream is another popular Proactiv product that can keep your skin healthy while battling acne. This moisturizer is designed for intense overnight use. Apply it to your face before bedtime and let it moisturize your skin throughout the night. This Proactiv product contains plenty of antioxidant vitamins that will help free radicals and help your skin resist wrinkles.

Proactiv Products are designed for acne-prone skin. Many moisturizers that have not been specifically designed for acne prone skin, however, contain ingredients that can cause breakouts.

Proactiv Products with Low Amounts of Benzoyl Peroxide

Using an acne moisturizer will help you prevent side effects while using benzoyl peroxide, but there are also other strategies that you can use to prevent dry skin, flaking, and itchiness. Start by using an acne treatment with a low concentration of benzoyl peroxide. The New Proactiv 3-Step Repairing System, for instance, only comes with products that have a 2.5 percent concentration. This is an appropriate level for most people with mild to moderate acne. Using these Proactiv products will help reduce the number of pimples that you get and help prevent future outbreaks.

Proactiv products with low concentrations of benzoyl peroxide don’t work for everyone. Those with severe cases of acne might need to use a stronger option. If you have not gotten positive results from products such as the Proactiv 3-Step Repairing System, then you might consider the Extra-Strength Formula. The cleanser and lotion in this Proactiv product contain a 7 percent concentration of benzoyl peroxide. The toner even includes salicylic acid. This combination of acne-fighting ingredients can help eliminate blemishes quickly, but it should not be your first option. Always start with lower concentrations before using extra strength Proactiv products. This will help ensure that you avoid side effects.

Again, many people find that they can control side effects caused by the Extra-Strength Formula by using the Green Tea Moisturizer or other acne lotions. Even with the help of oil-free moisturizers, though, you might still experience dry skin occasionally.
