Proactiv, also known as Proactiv Solution, is a brand of skin-care products developed by two American dermatologists, Katie Rodan and Kathy A. Fields, and launched in 1995 by Guthy-Renker, a California-based direct marketing company.

It may seem like time screeches to a halt when you get a pimple. But the truth of the matter is that the breakout that shows up on your face is the end result of a cycle that started weeks earlier when your pore became clogged with dead skin cells. Oil then collected in the pore creating a playground for p. acnes bacteria to feed and breed, which led to the throbbing, red, tender bump that is making your day miserable.

Take care of your skin and stop chasing pimples: You brush all of your teeth every day, not just the ones that have cavities, so why not treat your entire face instead of the pimples that you can actually see.
