I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Clearasil. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
For the past few months I feel as though as I am a teen again, well at least my face feels that way as I’ve been breaking out like crazy and I have no clue why. I still have the same routine I did 6 months ago, my diet hasn’t changed, if anything it has improved with less snacking, I haven’t changed any products, and my physical activities are still all the same. While I’ve never had completely clear skin, it did significantly improve as I got older, until recently. It has gotten so bad that I recently had to wait an extra two weeks to switch my license over to our new town as they needed to take a new photo and I didn’t want the constant reminder on my driver’s license.
Ultra Rapid Action Daily Gel Wash and Hydra- Blast Oil-Free Face Wash:
For the past week and a half I have been using two new Clearasil products to help improve my breakouts: Ultra Rapid Action Daily Gel Wash and Hydra- Blast Oil-Free Face Wash. While I alternated between the two in the beginning, to see which one I enjoyed more, I have been using the Hydra- Blast Oil-Free Face Wash more often, as I prefer the cream over the gel. The Hydra- Blast Oil-Free Face Wash leaves my face with a fresh tingling feeling which makes me feel rejuvenated and clean.
For the first couple of days I didn’t notice a difference, in fact I had a few more breakouts, but by the end of the first week I started to notice an improvement and less redness. I knew it wouldn’t clear my face overnight, as this particular face wash takes time, over a 4 week period it can help reduce breakouts by up to 85%. It is recommended for daily use, one to three times a day, but due to my already dry skin I am only able to use it once per day, I use it in the morning.
Before I started using Clearasil Hydra- Blast Oil-Free Face Wash, looking in the mirror every morning and seeing the breakouts just put my in a lazy, just want to stay at home all day mood, what’s the point of getting dressed up when my face is full of red spots. I know my husband and children would never judge me for how I look, but the breakouts do affect how I feel about myself. With the holidays right around the corner I know everyone’s going to have their cameras out, and while I’ve never been a fan of being in front of the camera to begin with, these breakouts have made me shy from the cameras even more and I have even put off the family photos. But now that my skin is finally getting clearer, I’m looking forward to the holidays and our family photos. Photos that I can cherish and look back upon, that I can display on the wall, instead of hiding them in a drawer being unhappy with how I look.
We’re now on week two and I’m excited for what week four has to bring and having clearer skin just in time for the holidays.
Have you ever had one of those moments where you wish the breakouts would just disappear?
