ProActiv
There is no doubt some percentage of people will benefit from using the ProActiv routine (it contains the basics that are necessary for over-the-counter treatment of acne), but it's definitely not for everyone, and every dermatologist knows this (just check out the American Academy of Dermatology Web site at www.aad.org, for example, on their recommendations for battling blemishes). It also goes without saying that other lines offer many less expensive versions of all the ProActiv products.
Some of the ProActiv products are very good, while other product formulations are problematic for some skin types. Plus, many of the products contain fragrance, which is a particularly egregious oversight from a so-called dermatologic line.
Revitalizing Toner ($16.00 for 4 ounces) is a good 6% AHA liquid. However, when it comes to most kinds of breakouts, research indicates that BHA (salicylic acid) rather than AHA is the best way to exfoliate for breakout prevention. Salicylic acid can exfoliate on the surface of skin as well as within the pore because it is lipid soluble (meaning it can penetrate oil). AHAs exfoliate primarily on the surface of skin because they are water soluble and can't work beneath the surface. - вот это средство Пола считает очень хорошим продуктом;
Repairing Lotion ($21.75 for 2 ounces) contains 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. This is a fine benzoyl peroxide product, but it doesn't repair anything in the skin; it only disinfects. Keep in mind there's nothing special or unique about this benzoyl peroxide lotion; you can find several products just like it in the acne section at your local drugstore. - это просто хорошим и рекомендованным к употреблению, от себя добавлю, что концентрация бензоил пероксида 2,5% хороша для заживления прыщей и очень мало раздражает кожу, в отличии от 5% и уж тем более 10%.
Advanced Blemish Treatment ($17.00 for 0.33 ounce) is a 6% benzoyl peroxide solution. However, the fourth ingredient is alcohol, which makes this unnecessarily drying and irritating. There are far more gentle 5% and 10% benzoyl peroxide products at the drugstore for a fraction of this price. - а это не советует покупать ни в коем случае.
