I’m 16, and I’ve had a problem with acne on and off since I turned 13. For the past three years I mostly tried to make do by washing my face with soap a couple times a day. That usually left my face looking red and kind of puffy. And it didn’t really do much to get rid of the acne. A few times I went to a drugstore and picked up an acne product that made big claims. Nothing seemed to really help, so I’d just avoid going out with friends during an outbreak because I felt embarrassed about having pimples.
But when my sister was going to get married and asked me to be one of her bridesmaids, I started worrying about what would happen if my acne broke out just before the wedding. Can you imagine? Maybe it’s because I was worrying so much, but suddenly I saw a patch on my cheek starting to break out.
I decided then that I had to find a decent cure for my acne. I searched the internet for treatments, and I have to say, there were quite a few out there. But one of them really caught my eye: Clear Therapy. Their treatment system made sense, and it seemed to work for other teenagers who were going through the same thing as me.
Clear Therapy turned out to not only work beautifully, but it was so simple to use. It’s kind of a two-step method – but the steps are fast and you only need to do it once in the morning and once at night. I guess you can do it more if you need to. Anyway, first I used the cleanser. I added just a little water, like the instructions said, then massaged it into the area where my acne had broken out. I was surprised how soothing it felt. This is supposed to remove dead skin but not upset the good skin, which is what I was doing by washing with soap and a washcloth. It’s gross to think about, but our skin is constantly being replaced by new skin, and sometimes the old stuff clogs the pores on our faces. And even though acne is caused by bacteria, the dead skin can add to the problem.
After I rinsed the cleanser off, I applied the acne treatment lotion and moisturizer. I was impressed by the ingredients, so many natural things, like aloe and chamomile. It also contained a moisturizer I’d never heard of, hyaluronic acid, but I discovered that it’s among the best moisturizers available for acne treatment. The heart of the treatment, though, is benzoyl peroxide. That’s what actually kills most of the bacteria.
I’m happy to say that Clear Therapy stopped the acne outbreak in its tracks, just as it has when I’ve used it since then.
I was thrilled that I didn’t have any acne during my sister’s wedding, and the only thing anyone noticed on my face was the big smile I had for her.
