About three years ago, my son started experiencing problems with his skin. When my son turned 11 years old, he started having acne breakouts on his forehead. A trip to the doctor told me what I had figured - he was going through early puberty which was causing the breakouts. Since I had not experienced acne growing up, I really did not know how to handle the situation.
Since my son was so young when the acne stated, I did not want to use any chemicals on his skin if I didn't have to. So we stopped using oils on his skin and hair and that took care of most of the breakouts. But over the summer months, the breakouts got worst on his forehead and even spread to the rest of his face. I knew it was time to do something about it when I realized my son was no longer looking in the mirror because he did not like the image that was being reflected back at him.
Clearasil to the Rescue...
I went to the store to look at acne products and quickly became overwhelmed by the sheer number. After some online research of the subject of acne, I decided to try out Clearasil PerfectaWash with other natural methods to see if we could stop the breakouts.
Within a week of using the Clearasil PerfectaWash, my son's face was totally clear of acne with the exception of the middle of his forehead. I did some more online research which suggested incorporating a small amount of maximum strength benzoyl peroxide gel to just the problem area. So I went to Target and bought a 1oz tube of benzoyl peroxide gel. I applied just a tiny dab to my son's problem spot on his forehead twice a day after using the Clearasil PerfectaWash and within a few days, my son's skin was totally free of acne.
Different Product, Same Great Clearasil Results...
Over the years, it became harder for me to find the Clearasil PerfectaWash in retail stores, but I still wanted my son to stay with using Clearasil products because they had worked so well keeping my son's skin clear and clean. So while shopping at Target earlier this year, I came across another Clearasil product called Clearasil Daily Clear Hydra-Blast Oil Free Face Wash.
Just like Clearasil PerfectaWash, Clearasil Daily Clear Hydra-Blast Oil Free Face Wash works great at keeping breakouts to a minimum while also being gentle on my son's skin. His face is clean, clear, and non-oily which he loves.
And I love that Clearasil Daily Clear Hydara-Blast Oil Free Face Wash works great and I can buy it at my local Target for under $5 a tube.
Clearasil Daily Clear Hydra-Blast Oil Free Face Wash is gentle enough for everyday use. But every so often, my son will experience a breakout where he needs more help, especially on his forehead. In the past we would just try our best to work through the breakout with the help of a little generic benzoyl peroxide gel until the breakout was over. But now, thanks to Mom Central, my son got to try out a complimentary sample of another great product from Clearasil called Clearasil Ultra Rapid Action Gel Wash.
Clearasil Ultra Rapid Action Gel Wash is made especially for when my son experiences a breakout. This product is formulated with maximum strength acne medication to give visibly clearer skin in as little as 12 hours. This is really great because no teenage wants to be seen when a breakout occurs so the quicker it is over the better.
Clearsasil products have been a staple in my home now for 3 years and I could not be happier with the results that my son is getting.
My son has been using Clearasil Daily Clear HydraBlast Oil Free Face Wash now for 8 months and it it really helps to keep his skin oil free and clear and now I am glad that he is using Clearasil Ultra Rapid Action Gel Wash for when breakouts occur to get back to normal quickly.
