"Hello. I'm Dr. Loretta Ciraldo. Board certified dermatologist, and author of "Six Weeks to Sensational Skin." This clip is about Pro Active acne treatment. As you may realize, Pro Active has been one of the most successful acne treatments ever to come to the market. And basically Pro Active really is a line which makes a very good point at realizing that Benzoyl Peroxide has for decades been a very well recognized acne therapy that will clear many, many cases of acne. But the problem with normal Benzoyl Peroxide is that it often can cause redness, and sometimes even an allergic rash. So the Pro Active line is based on two and a half percent Benzoyl Peroxide, which is typically relatively effective at clearing acne. And it is also very mild in terms of not causing much in the way of redness and dryness. If you know you're not allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide, you may in fact want to give this a try. This is Dr. Loretta Ciraldo in Miami."
