Your First Six Weeks Using Proactivmd - A Week-By-Week Guide

Even though Adapalene is new to acne sufferers who count on over-the-counter products to keep skin clear, it’s by no means a new acne treatment. It has been a celebrated acne-fighting ingredient for decades and has proven itself in clinical trials.

Adapalene can be used on the face and the first effects of Adapalene may be visible in just two weeks, but it may take up to 3 months of daily use for you to see consistent results.

When first used, Adapalene can cause dryness, redness and irritation for some individuals. This irritation usually lessens after the first 4 weeks of continued use, however. In some instances acne may appear worse for a short time. If this occurs, you can try a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer, preferably one with sunscreen protection, to counteract the dryness. If irritation becomes severe (overly bothersome), stop use and ask a doctor before using the product again.

Finally, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a doctor before using Adapalene as an acne treatment.

Some users may notice a reaction. Just be patient with your skin right now as it’s undergoing a lot of changes. Also be sure to stay moisturized and use sunscreen.

You may notice your skin is starting to feel softer and smoother. If your skin is feeling a bit dry, it’s completely normal. Keep using Adapalene, your skin will thank you for it. If you’re one of the people who feel dry, be sure to use a moisturizer that doesn’t contain an active acne ingredient.

Your skin should start feeling acclimated to Adapalene, but some individuals may continue to feel dryness or irritation. Adapalene is working hard behind the scenes to unclog pores. Protect your skin everyday with sunscreen.

If you’re still having breakouts they are most likely less frequent and less painful. Reminder: Moisturize and put on sunscreen.

Breakouts are continuing to diminish. We can’t stress it enough: hydrate. Use an SPF moisturizer by day and a light moisturizer without an acne active at night.

Now you’re in 'maintenance mode' so keep up with your ProactivMD regimen daily. Remember, acne has no cure but you can keep your skin looking healthy if you stick to the routine. Most people will see a significant difference around the 12-week mark, so keep it up.
