If there's one beauty issue that's likely to cause strong emotions, it's acne. No one understands the true struggle of acne unless they're going through it. The lack of self confidence. The hatred of your own skin. The desperation to find something, anything, that will make you feel just a little bit better in your own skin. The frustration of receiving well meaning, but frankly, rubbish advice.
As a parent, your heart can break watching your once confident kid retreat into their shell because their skin is a mess. As a sister, you can offer skincare advice and tell your sibling she is beautiful, all the while hoping she naturally grows out of it like you did. As a mere acquaintance you can try not to stare at the latest eruption and empathise how hard it must be to try to (unsuccessfully) cover a painful, pus laden breakout and then go on to face the world. But unless you've been through it yourself, you're Jon Snow. You know nothing.
Treating, controlling and preventing acne isn't always simple, it doesn't often happen with the first product you try. What one person swears by might make your skin ten times worse. But lucky for us - science and technology is ever evolving, which means there will never be a time that you have to 'just give up and live with it'. The system that works for you could be the next one you try.
We have an amazing trial opportunity for 20 teenagers struggling with acne. We're putting the Dermalogica Clear Start system to the test.
Reflecting on their commitment to healthy skin at every age for more than 25 years, Dermalogica's Clear Start is a serious skin care line dedicated to clearing up breakout-prone teen skin. Clear Start utilises proven blemish-fighting ingredients and soothing botanicals to reduce bacteria, control oil, and clear breakouts leaving the skin healthy and smooth.
Each trialist will be putting 5 products to the test over 4 weeks. We're looking for male and female reviewers aged 12 - 24* to put the range to the test.
- Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash. This breakout fighting foaming wash clears away dead skin cells, dirt and excess oils that clog pores and cause breakouts.
- Breakout Clearing All Over Toner. This unique mist-all-over purifying toner controls excess oils and helps eliminate breakouts on the face and body. Refreshing extracts help cool and revive skin.
- Breakout Clearing Daytime Treatment. This daily, lightweight moisturiser and powerful pimple-preventing treatment in one helps wipe out breakouts before they emerge!
- Oil Clearing Matte Moisturizer SPF15. A moisturiser that minimizes oil and shine? It’s true! This ultra-light, non-greasy hydrating formula controls oily areas like the nose and forehead for an all-over matte finish. SPF helps shield against the UV rays that can make breakouts worse and cause dark spots.
- Breakout Clearing Overnight Treatment. Wake up to clearer skin! This invisible treatment absorbs quickly then works all night to fight breakouts. Rest easy as it purifies to ensure you awake with less congestion, fewer breakouts and reduced redness.

I bought dermalmd acne serum for my 17 year old son, who occasionally has trouble with acne. He said this product works very well, and I can see clearer skin on him after using it for one week. I figure if a 17 year old boy says a product works well, then it must!
