Frequently Asked Questions

 

General Usage

 

1. Will Proactiv® Solution work if I use the products individually rather than as a system?

Proactiv® Solution is based on the concept of Combination Therapy® - each product in the system complements the other. To keep your skin looking and feeling its best, use the products together as a system. You will also receive optimum results by using them as directed.

2. Can I use Proactiv® Solution products on my body as well as my face?

Yes, you can use Proactiv® Solution on any blemish-prone area. If you are particularly prone to body blemishes, you may want to look at our Proactiv® Solution catalogue - we have developed a special line of products for the body. Alternatively, you can download our latest catalogue from www.proactiv.ie

3. Do the Skincare Experts recommend a particular moisturiser for use with Proactiv® Solution?

Rodan & Fields recommend Proactiv® Solution Oil-Free Moisture with SPF 15. Developed specifically for blemish-prone skin, this light oil-free formula keeps skin healthy and hydrated without clogging pores.

4. How do I use the 3-Step System?

Follow these simple steps twice a day every day for a great complexion!

• Step 1: Renewing Cleanser - Apply a small amount to dampened skin and gently massage for 1-2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Pat dry.

• Step 2: Revitalising Toner - Apply to cleansed skin with a cotton ball or pad. Allow to dry.

• Step 3: Repairing Lotion - Apply a thin layer (pea-sized) to the entire affected area. Allow to dry. Do not rinse off. If going outside, use a sunscreen, such as our Oil Free Moisture with SPF 15 or Daily Protection Plus Sunscreen SPF 30.

5. Why and when should I use the Refining Mask?

Our Refining Mask is formulated with Sulphur, a proven blemish-fighting ingredient that reaches deep into pores where blemishes begin. Cool, soothing Kaolin, (also known as China Clay) helps absorb excess surface oils while our special formula soothes inflammation and refines skin tone and texture. For best results, use with your 3-Step System 2-3 times per week. Make sure to start with a clean face before applying the mask. Directions: Apply to dampened skin. Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse with water. May be followed with the 3-Step System.

Tip: For the emergency blemish - use overnight on pimple for fast improvement!

6. Why and when should I use the Daily Oil Control?

Our Daily Oil Control helps control excess oil throughout the day to keep skin from shining and makeup from streaking. Daily Oil Control gently balances the skin while keeping your skin hydrated and healthy looking.

Directions: Use after Repairing Lotion. Apply to entire face with fingertips.

7. Why and when should I use the Oil Free Moisture with SPF 15?

Our Oil Free Moisture with SPF 15 is designed to keep blemish-prone skin healthy and hydrated. Advanced moisturising agents soothe and soften without clogging pores, and our formula has oil-absorbing properties for all-day freshness.

Directions: Apply to clean face and neck at least once daily. May be used following the Repairing Day Lotion (allow to dry).

8. Are the kits available in larger supplies?

You can choose the kit that best suits your needs and budget, from 4 to 6 pieces. You can change them with every delivery to try them all or select to receive the same collection, every time.

We have developed the 4-piece System, which makes up a great basis of the Proactiv®Solution range.

The 5-piece Mask System including the full size Refining Mask (70g) helps to deep-cleanse the skin, leaving it fresh and rejuvenated, whilst the Refining Mask, absorbs excess oil to make your routine even more beneficial.

Our 6-Piece Proactiv® Solution kits are complete Skincare collections. Our Moisture System works to hydrate, moisturise and even the skin tone, while our Oil Control System helps combat excess oil produced by the skin, leaving your skin looking healthy.

9. Do I need to moisturise even if I suffer from breakouts?

It is important to keep all skin types hydrated for a healthy appearance. The right moisturiser will not aggravate breakouts or increase oiliness. In fact, it can actually improve the look and texture of your skin. Even oily skin can become dry and flaky on the surface. Look for one that is oil-free and non-comedogenic, which means it won't clog pores. Some moisturisers also contain blemish-fighting medications such as salicylic acid to help exfoliate dead skin and brighten your complexion. Try our Oil Free Moisture with SPF 15 or Green Tea Moisturiser to nourish and hydrate your skin.
