He is known around the world as the swashbuckling, drop-dead gorgeous lead singer of the Grammy Award winning band, Maroon 5. Throughout his entire career, his signature voice swept throngs of women off their feet, and their albums produced hit after hit and blasted onto the top of the charts. He is also a well-loved judge on the Emmy Award-winning singing contest The Voice and recently took a crack at the movies by starring in the indie film Begin Again, where one of the songs that he produced under his 222 Records label, “Lost Stars,” was nominated for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards.
Despite his hot looks and glowing achievements in his remarkable career, Adam Levine, the “Sexiest Man Alive” for 2013 was, once upon a time, someone who struggled with acne breakouts during his teenage years. This man, the envy of many men because of his undeniable charisma and confidence, also suffered because of acne just like any normal teenager, and grappled with lack of confidence. For someone who looked so natural in front of the camera, Adam was once forced to stay away from the crowd.
“I was just ashamed of my acne,” Adam shared. “I had horrible breakouts. I would hide from cameras, hide in my room. Acne just shows up and causes trouble and it messes with my confidence.” And even today, when his schedule gets busy, the stress can take a toll on his skin. “I am a very active person and it kind of lead to zits, which is unfortunately a reality for me,” he chuckled.
“My life for now is unbelievably busy and I feel fortunate and blessed every day,” Adam said. He also shared that while celebrities do look so good on screen, they also suffered from the same skin problems at one time in their lives that made them lose their self-confidence and shun from the many good things in life. “I always want to make sure that people understand that even though we are celebrities or successful, we are no different than anybody else.”
Fortunately, America’s no. 1 acne treatment system, Proactiv Solution, gave him the answer to his acne problems. Proactiv’s 3-Step System is dermatologist-developed and is designed to help clear existing acne and prevent future outbreaks, while gently taking care of the skin. “It is so great that there is something out there now that is legitimate,” Adam added.
It takes no more than five minutes to complete this system, which is great for busy people like Adam Levine. Each Proactiv kit comes with a free Refining Mask that helps keep skin clear and acne-free. Formulated with sulfur, a proven acne-fighting ingredient, reaches deep into the pores where blemishes begin. The Refining Mask unclogs pores, pampers inflamed skin, and softens the skin’s texture.
Now with clear skin, Adam Levine no longer feels the need to hide. “It is a game changer; it treats acne and treats your skin right,” Adam said. “As a guy, I don’t like a lot of male acne products. But with this, it’s just three easy steps and you’re doing all you need to do.”
Proactiv Solution comes in 30-Day kit (P2495.00) and 60-Day kit (P3995.00) and is available at all Watsons and SM stores nationwide.
