Sometimes I get questions that throw me for a loop. One gal wrote in to ask me for hydroquinone directions proactive; since I’ve started researching the proactive acne system for you, I figure this was something I’d better look into.

I already know what hydroquinone is. It’s a bleaching solution used in some acne products to even out skin tone. Basically age spots, blemishes and any darker pigmented areas that need to be removed to make you skin tone more even. According to the chat boards I checked out, this is a concern for women of color for obvious reasons. So my next job was to see if proactive acne treatment contains hydroquinone. This was interesting.

I read the ingredients list in the proactive renewing cleanser, revitalizing toner, and the repairing lotion. None of them contain the ingredient hydroquinone. Much less anything referring to hydroquinone directions proactive.

From my research I think that the focus of the Proactiv Solution 5-piece kit is more preventative than anything. But I can also tell you that after a couple of weeks it did even out my skin tone. I’m not sure yet if it’s because of the tiny exfoliating benzoyl peroxide granules that prevent future breakouts and slough away older skin, or if something about the calming botanicals in the toner adds to that. So I’m off to do a bit more research for you. Happy Skin Health!!
