30 Day New Proactiv Challenge and Giveaway

I'm sure you've all seen the commercials for Proactiv at some time in your life.  I know I've seen them so many times, and I've always wondered does it really work? In my teen years I had such a horrible time with breakouts (who didn't right?) Even now as I'm approaching my 40's, I still struggle with breakouts. I wonder if anything will ever keep my skin clear and still manage the dry skin I get during the winter.  I've seen the celebrities on the commercials talking about how Proactiv worked so great for them, yet I'm always skeptical of commercials. Unless I have a friend that has actually tired it and says they love whatever product, I never hold much stock into what I see on tv. So when I was offered the chance participate in the 30-day New Proactiv Challenge, as a blog tour from Mom Central; I jumped at it! And so I begin my 30 day challenge and I will be that friend who will tell you if Proactiv really lives up to all the claims. :)

The Proactiv products I will be using consists of a 3 Step System, that clears and helps prevent acne blemishes and is designed for twice daily use.

Step 1 Renewing Cleanser:

• New, exclusive micro-crystal pharmaceutical-grade benzoyl peroxide
• Smaller, finer particles quickly penetrate pores, attack and heal blemishes fast
• Tiny, round exfoliating beads gently remove dirt, excess oil and dead skin cells

Step 2 Revitalizing Toner:

• Refreshing alcohol-free toner refines and purifies pores
• Glycolic acid exfoliates dead skin cells to help keep pores unplugged
• Botanical-rich formula soothes and hydrates acne-prone skin

Step 3 Repairing Treatment:

• Feather-light, invisible medicated lotion kills acne-causing bacteria
• Features pharmaceutical-grade benzoyl peroxide as an antimicrobial
• Ultra-fine micro-crystal pharmaceutical-grade benzoyl peroxide penetrates pores fast while being gentle on the skin

There is also a team of Proactiv trained Skin Care Advisors, that provide round-the-clock guidance and education to ensure that you get the best possible treatment!
