How to Use Proactiv Solutions
This is a video directly from the makers of Proactiv. The two founders, who are dermatologists, explain how to use the Proactiv solutions. The doctors suggest using a white towel when using Proactive because the ingredient benzoyl peroxide may bleach fabric.
Step 1: How to Use the Renewing Cleanser
Proactiv's Renewing Cleanser is a face wash that contains benzoyl peroxide. The solution contains tiny beads that help exfoliate the skin.http://www.proactiv.com/aboutacne/howproactivworks.php http://www.proactiv.com/howtouse.php

- Use a dime-sized amount of the cleanser.
- Apply the cleanser to damp skin and massage for between one and two minutes.
- Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Step 2: How to Use Proactiv's Revitalizing Toner
Proactiv's Revitalizing Toner is the second step. This is an astringent and should be used directly after washing with the Renewing Cleanser.http://www.proactiv.com/howtouse.php
