How to Shrink Pores With Proactiv

There are many products on the market which claim to eliminate acne quickly. One of the leading and most effective acne systems available is the Proactiv 3-Step System, which is available for purchase online through the Proactiv website. Using Proactiv will not only clear up existing acne, but will shrink down pore size, helping to prevent further acne breakouts. It is important to know how to apply the Proactiv 3-Step System so that the skin will clear and the pores will become smaller as soon as possible.

Things You'll Need

• Proactiv Renewing Cleanser
• Proactiv Revitalizing Toner
• Proactiv Repairing Lotion
• Water
• Soft towel

Instructions

1. Cleanse the skin using Proactiv Renewing Cleanser. The Proactiv Renewing Cleanser contains small microbeads which help buff away and exfoliate the skin without scraping or damaging it. The Proactiv Renewing Cleanser also contains a small amount of benzoyl peroxide, which clears and shrinks down the pores, dries up acne and prevents new acne from forming. By using the Proactiv Renewing Cleanser twice daily, the skin's surface will remain unclogged. Squeeze a dime-sized amount onto the hands, and gently massage it onto wet skin for one to two minutes. Rinse the skin clean with water, and pat it dry with a soft, clean towel.

2. Tone the skin with the Proactiv Revitalizing Toner. The Proactiv Revitalizing Toner contains aloe and salicylic acid, which helps to tighten the pores as well as clear the skin. Soak a cotton ball or cotton pad in the Proactiv Revitalizing Toner and wipe it gently over the face. Avoid the eye area. Allow the skin to dry naturally, and repeat twice per day after using the Proactiv Renewing Cleanser. Make sure that the skin is dry before applying the Proactiv Repairing Lotion.

3. Medicate and moisturize the skin by applying Proactiv Repairing Lotion. The Proactiv Repairing Lotion contains both benzoyl peroxide, which shrinks the pores, and clears up acne breakouts, and an oil-free moisturizer, which softens the skin and prevents irritation. Only a small amount is needed in order to effectively treat the skin, around the size of a large pea. Spread the lotion around the face gently, avoiding the eye area, until it has been completely absorbed into the skin. Repeat twice per day after the skin has been toned.

Tips & Warnings

• Always avoid the eye area when using Proactiv products. If contact with the eyes occurs, rinse the eyes thoroughly with water and contact a doctor.

• Keep benzoyl peroxide products out of the reach of children.

• Keep benzoyl peroxide products away from clothing, as they can bleach fabric.
