Description
ProactivMD is a 3-step skincare system featuring Ultra-Gentle Cleanser, Adapalene Gel, and Ultra-Hydrating Moisturizer. This trio combines a prescription-strength retinoid with gentle, moisturizing formulas to treat and help prevent breakouts while soothing and hydrating skin.
Ultra-Gentle Cleanser, formulated especially for acne-prone skin, removes oil and dead skin cells and leaves skin feeling soft, refreshed, and hydrated. Adapalene Gel 0.1% is a renowned, prescription-strength retinoid that treats active acne and prevents new breakouts. Ultra-Hydrating Moisturizer restores skin’s moisture barrier, moisturizes for up to 8 hours, and reduces the appearance of redness and sensitivity that result from dry skin.
Adapalene is the star of this system – it’s the first FDA-approved, over-the-counter retinoid that treats acne — it works on a cellular level to encourage cell turnover and help prevent breakouts before they happen. Ultra-Gentle Cleanser features green tea extract, which is rich in antioxidants, soothes skin, and helps fight surface free radicals. Hyaluronic acid, a key player in our Ultra-Hydrating Moisturizer, is renowned for pulling moisture into the skin and helps alleviate dryness for softer, smoother-looking skin.
Use ProactivMD with Adapalene daily to help clear clogged pores and pimples and help prevent new acne. Simply cleanse and moisturize in the morning and then cleanse, treat, and moisturize at night.
How to Use:
Ultra-Gentle Cleanser:
Use as a daily face wash, morning and night. Dampen skin and apply a generous amount to the entire face (avoiding the eye area). Using your fingertips, gently massage into your skin for 1 to 2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Adapalene Gel:
Use once daily, in the evenings, after washing with our face cleanser. Be sure skin is dry, then cover the entire affected area with a thin layer.
Ultra-Hydrating Moisturizer:
Use daily (morning, night, and as needed) to alleviate dryness. Can be worn alone or under makeup. If going outside, layer this hydrator underneath a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

This system does an amazing job. It has worked wonders for my son who wears a helmet more often than not, whether skiing or playing baseball. That sweat line in a helmet was really effecting his acne. This product line has put an end to that!

I need more time to see the effect. My daughter''s acne hasn't totally cleared up but it's not getting worse so far. I can't fully attest that it's been working for her. It's been 3 months, maybe a little more time and hopefully we will see that is actually working.
