SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- To kick off Acne Awareness Month, Proactiv® announced the launch of Proactiv®365 Care and Support, Every Minute, Every Day', a multi-channel, multi-dimensional support system that provides customers with unparalleled access to skin care expertise and community support.
The program offers Proactiv® customers professional skin care advice and support from dermatologist-trained skin care experts, creating one of the most robust, physician-reviewed Q&A and online acne content available with new resources, tools and community engagement opportunities.
America's number one acne system redefined acne treatment more than 15 years ago by offering consumers the opportunity for a lifetime of clear skin with its revolutionary, preventative solution for acne in a market dominated by spot treatments. The introduction of this 24-hour care and support program is the newest tenet in Proactiv's ongoing mission to provide an effective acne treatment without a prescription.
"Acne is a chronic skin condition that often lasts for years in teens and sometimes decades in adult women. As practicing dermatologists, we know the toll acne can take on self confidence. When someone has concerns or questions, they are anxious to get information fast," said Dr. Katie Rodan, co-developer of Proactiv® Solution.
"The program allows us to provide a level of skin care support to our customers, at no additional cost, that goes beyond what any other over-the-counter acne or skin care product offers," said Rodan.
Proactiv® customers can now reach expert, doctor-trained Skincare Advisors who are on-call 24/7 to help them manage their unique skincare needs, create a custom skincare regimen designed specifically for their skin and, through new online community tools, ask questions of their peers and experts, post or read comments, share and receive encouragement from other Proactiv users and view and share their own "before" and "after" photos and Proactiv® success stories.
The program also offers a free, interactive online consultation tool for an opportunity to virtually consult with Drs. Rodan and Fields, board-certified dermatologists and co-developers of Proactiv® Solution, and receive valuable advice on personal skin care concerns, customized regimens and more.
