Hello My Beautiful Friends! Today I'm going to talk about my all time favorite skincare brand, "PROACTIV", and why I love it. Okay, let me be honest here. When I was in my teens, my face was covered in acne. My skin condition was really bad. In those years, I lost confidence in myself! I refused to socialize with anyone because I ever experienced talking to someone, and then that person looked at my face and cracked up. That made me feel hurt but I just walked away feeling sad and frustrated. I cried every night in silence.
Well, I guess my mom knew I was sad because she surprised me one day with a special gift. I can still remember vividly my amazement when unwrapped the gift and found a set of PROACTIV Solution. Since then I've not looked back, I have been using PROACTIV for more than 10 years. Okay babes, I admit that I've many favorite brands but PROACTIV is my No.1 favorite!
So yeah, recently I was introduced to another new set of PROACTIV+ 3-Step Acne System and I decided to try this new system out. Without further ado, let's go ahead and jump into the review!
