Proactiv

Infomercial skincare system

Proactiv is a brand of acne treatment products that became widely known through infomercials in the 1990s and 2000s, typically featuring celebrity endorsements.

The three-step skincare system uses benzoyl peroxide as its active ingredient.

The brand name plays on "proactive," suggesting users take preventive action against breakouts rather than treating them after they appear.
