Based on Proactiv's cult following, and the fact that my kids' faces are looking pretty good these days, I would say the system clearly works. But those same retinoids in Proactiv that help keep your teen's acne at bay require some extra care. Not only do retinoids make skin very sensitive to UV rays and more prone to sunburn, the sunlight also can affect how the treatment works.
Now, the good news. Proactiv's new ProactivMD 3-Piece System is the company's most advanced system to date, but better still, it includes moisturizing ingredients and 30 SPF sun protection.
So while you will still will want to double up on the sunscreen this spring and summer as your kids launch into baseball, softball, soccer, tennis, track (you name it!), you can at least feel confident that if they are using the system properly they are getting some UV protection.
