Can I Put Lotion on My Face After Using Proactiv?
I remember the days of struggling with acne. It was a frustrating and embarrassing time. I tried everything I could to get rid of it, but nothing seemed to work.
Finally, I was recommended Proactiv. It was the only thing that finally cleared up my acne. However, I was still left with dry, irritated skin. I wasn’t sure what to do, so I started putting lotion on my face after using Proactiv.
Is It Safe?
The answer is yes. You can put lotion on your face after using Proactiv. In fact, it’s a good idea to do so.
Proactiv is a powerful acne treatment. It contains benzoyl peroxide, which is a strong antibacterial agent. Benzoyl peroxide can be drying and irritating to the skin. Lotion can help to soothe and moisturize the skin, reducing the risk of irritation.
