PROACTIV RENEWING CLEASER

Renewing Cleanser 

This oil free, soap free medicated formula contains advanced micro crystal benzoyl peroxide in combination with mild cleanser that lightly washes the skin. Tiny beads gently exfoliate dead cells and impurities so they can’t clog pores. The benzoyl peroxide penetrates the pores fast while being gentle to the skin. It attacks, kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce the number of acne pimples.

Key Ingredients 

Benzoyl Peroxide This is the key anti bacterial agent to fight acne. The 2.5% concentration is just effective as 10% solutions in controlling the majority of acne cases and much gentler to your skin. This low concentration gives it the acne-fighting benefit of even higher concentrations, but not the side-effects!

Other Ingredients Include 

• Sodium Hyaluronate This mucopolysaccharides act as humectant to draw moisture to skin. Mucopolysaccharides are gel like substances surrounding the collagen and elastin in the dermis layer of the skin. 
• Polyethylene These small round beads have no sharp edges that can tear and scratch the skin while they gently remove old, dead cells. 
• Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract A botanical extract known for its soothing properties. Directions to Use Use morning and night Apply a small (dime-sized) amount to damp skin and gently massage for 1 to 2 minutes Rinse thoroughly with warm water Path dry If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day If going outside use a sunscreen 

Why is Proactiv Renewing Cleanser superior than regular cleanser / soap? 

While it may seem counter intuitive, harsh scrubbing does not unclog your pores any better than gentle cleansing, and may actually worsen your acne. Cleansing and scrubbing only reduce surface oils and dean skin cells. Many people use harsh products, laden with alcohol and foamy surfactants (detergents) somehow wash the acne off their skin. However, these actions produce irritation and worsen acne. It is possible to gently unplug pores with fine polyethylene beads that gently relieve impacted pores without irritation.

Proactiv Renewing Cleanser does not contains any surfactants that can harsh the skin.

Proactiv Renewing Cleanser is formulated without the harsh detergents known as surfactants found in many other cleansers. Surfactants, which are responsible for a sudsy foam and lather, strip skin of its essential oils. As a result, the skin barrier becomes damaged and vulnerable to irritation and impaction.

What is the role of Renewing Cleanser in Proactiv Combination Therapy? 

The Renewing Cleanser help removes dead skin cells and impurities which can clog the pore. The advanced microcrystal benzoyl peroxide in the Proactiv® 3-Step System kill acne-causing bacteria while the glycolic acid and other exfoliants reduce excess oils and dead skin cells. The Proactiv Renewing Cleanser is included in the Proactiv Solution 30-day and 60-day kits.

Latagaw Diaries: Basey Banig

A 30-minute ride away from Tacloban, just across the San Juanico Bridge is a small seaside town known as Basey. Basey means beautiful and truly this place will charm you.

First stop is its century old church that sits on top of a hill. I wonder how many eggs were used to glue this church altogether...

This is Jose Rizal's park. I think Jose Rizal is overdressed with his coat etc for the Philippines warm climate. He would have looked better in barong tagalog or kamiso chino like Bonifacio. His European get up makes him cold and distant.

 Just a stone's throw away from the park is a small shop that makes and sells banigs and other items made of banigs. At the back of their shop are women busy embroidering mats and men gluing and sewing bags.

The women buy the mats or banig made from tikog from the people living in the Golden River. However, since it is planting season right now, the mat delivery has been few and slow. 

These are the dyed buri that the embroiderers use when executing designs on the banig or mat.

These banigs are fashioned into bags, clutches, wallets, purses and a lot more.

We went to an old house that leans at an angle, climbed up to the second floor. It was beautiful up there.

Here are sample products:

3-in-1 boxes. You can sit on them and store some things inside.

More storage boxes with soft cushions.

Bags.

Bags again.

Table runners on the ground. More mats at the back and bags hanging on the ceiling.

Colorful family sized mat for the beach, for picnic or for your home.

Coin purse.
