Ryan Sheckler signed to Proactiv TV ads

PALM DESERT, Calif. Direct-response TV advertiser Guthy-Renker is putting a new face on its acne treatment, Proactiv Solution, the company announced Wednesday.

A new series of TV commercials, airing in June, will feature television star and professional skateboarder Ryan Sheckler. The Web site for the treatment has testimonials from several celebrities, including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Vanessa Williams and Jessica Simpson.

Two Stanford University-trained dermatologists, Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields, developed Proactiv Solution, which entered the market in 1995. Guthy-Renker markets the treatment, selling it online and over the telephone.
