Proactiv is one of the brands I love to try but find a little intimidating. I remember seeing testimonials by Jessica Simpson, Alicia Keys, Katy Perry, and Adam Levine on TV. I thought it must be really good for the company to get these celebrities to share their Proactiv story and be the brand ambassador. Still, I was hesitant to spend a good amount of money for something that may not even work for my Filipina skin. Finally yesterday, I got to meet someone, a proud Filipina, who changed my perception and made me think that Proactiv could be the help my face badly needs.Proactiv, the skin care product choice among Hollywood's elite finally found the perfect Filipina who embodies the brand. Young, charming and most importantly, a loyal user of Proactiv, actress and comedienne Alex Gonzaga is the first Proactiv Filipino endorser. "The Proactiv 3-Step System has been an important part of my daily skin care routine for years! It is effective and easy to use. I am so thrilled to be the first Filipina face of Proactiv and tell everyone all about my experience using it," the 27-year old TV host shares. It's mild formulation gently exfoliates my skin, removes excess oil and delivers powerful acne fighting medicine."
Being an in demand celebrity causes stress and fatigue which may take a toll on the skin. The long hours of tapings and shoots, the never-ending mall shows and pounds of make-up cause damages on the skin such as zits and breakouts. She knows, however, that with Proactiv's dermatologically tested ingradients, her skin stays clear, radiant and acne free.
Even with her frenetic schedule, Alex Finds time to adhere to Proactiv's simple and easy 3-Step System. "As my beauty regimen before going to sleep, I apply Proactiv's Step 1 which is the Renewing Cleanser. You can feel it gently removing impurities in your skin with its exfoliating beads," Alex explains. The Renewing Cleanser is an oil-free, soap free medicated exfoliating cleanser that kills acne-causing bacteria with U. S. prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide. The ultramarine micro-crystal benzoyl peroxide penetrates pores fast while being gentle on the skin.
"I follow it up with Step 2 which is the Revitalizing Toner," Alex continues. Proactiv's Revitalizing Toner is refreshing alcohol-free toner that refines and purifies pores. It's Glycolic acid exfoliates dead skin cells to help keep pores unplugged while its botanical-rich formula soothes and hydrates acne-prone skin.
"Step 3 is the Repairing Treatment. I just squeeze a pea-sized amount on my palm and spread it on my face," she adds.
The Repairing Treatment is a feather-light, invisible medicated treatment that kills acne-causing bacteria preventing zits and acne.
Each Proactiv kit comes with a free Refining Mask. The Refining Mask makes a great leaves on spot treatment at night for better complexion in the morning. "We are proud to have Alex Gonzaga as the first Filipina face of Proactiv. She is beautiful, spontaneous and hip, making her a perfect fit for the brand," says Proactiv Philippines General Manager, Mari del Rosario. "With Alex heading our local campaign, we hope to reach out to more Filipinos and Filipinas and encourage them to take a step and fight acne today."
