Oxy Clinical Review And Giveaway

Most teen aged girls complain, at one time or another, about acne.  In my house, it is my 14 year old son who has issues with his skin.  Ever since he hit puberty, his skin has had a mind of it's own.  We've tried different soaps, and watching what he eats, but nothing seemed to help.  When I was offered the opportunity to try out Oxy Clinical, I knew it would be his face we would tried it on.

It's been a couple of weeks, and though you can not tell it in the before and after shots, I can see a difference.  Is his face perfectly clear?  No, but I wasn't expecting it to be after only two weeks.   I can, however, see that he has less "big pimples" on his face.  (in the after picture, we just got in from a day of swimming, so his face is red from the sun, not acne) 

I was sent this Acne Solutions Pack, which contained a 2oz bottle of Advanced Face Wash, a 0.7oz Clearing Treatment, and a 0.7oz tube of Hydrating Therapy.  The Advanced Face Wash leaves 25 times more acne medicine on the skin after rinsing, and is gentle enough to use every day.  The Clearing Treatment is clinically proven to eliminate 99% of acne bacteria in just 8 hours.  The Hydrating Therapy is a 3 in 1 formula that exfoliates, hydrates, and controls oil.

Ryan used the Hydrating Therapy and Advanced Face Wash in the mornings, and then again before bed.  He also used the Clearing Treatment once a day.  I asked him if his skin felt any different, and he said his face felt less oily and softer.  His only complaint was that the stuff smelled like medication.

So here's the fun part.  I received two Acne Solution Packs, so I am giving one away to one of you, my loyal readers.  I also have 8 $1.00 off any Oxy Clinical product coupons to give away, too.  All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me who you want the Pack for, and how you think it will help them.  Easy enough, right?  From the comments, I will pick 9 names, the first name gets the Acne Solution Pack, and the next 8 get the coupons.  You have until Sunday, July 25th, 2010 to enter.  (I will ship in the USA only...sorry)  Good luck!

Clearing Up Ryan's Skin

My son, Ryan, is going to be 14 on Friday. He is entering these turbulent teen aged years full force, heading straight for puberty. He seems to be mostly unconcerned about the changes he is going through, except for his face. It seems he is going to be like me, and have some trouble with breakouts. I have been asking around, trying to find the best acne products to help take care of his problem. I want to find something that will treat all the common causes of acne, like excessive oiliness, abnormal skin shedding, bacterial proliferation and local inflammation.

It was recommended that I try the dr. dermal new acne range. This is a dermatologist endorsed over the counter treatment for acne that is supposed to work really well. It has no side effects like dryness and irritation, and it is not tested on animals. I know being side effect free is important to people. It also doesn't contain any ingredients that are banned or restricted in any place around the world.

I know Ryan is anxious to get this little problem under control, so I am willing to try anything at this point. I ended up having to go to a dermatologist as a teen to get medication for my acne, and I am hoping that isn't going to be the answer for Ryan. Plus, if this works for him, I can let Kasi use it too.

We all know what happens when girls get close to puberty, and she will be 13 in May. Man, is it going to be fun living in my house next year with two teenagers. You wish you were me, right?

Ryan's Face

As you can see in the picture, Ryan is having a horrible time with Acne. It started a couple of months ago, and it seems to be getting worse. He washes his face with soap and water, but I am thinking that he might need a little something more.

I am hoping we can buy some over the counter Acne Treatments and avoid a trip to the dermatologist. My brother had a hard time with acne when he was younger, and the only thing that helped him was a prescription. I am really hoping Ryan doesn't follow in his footsteps.

I went online and was amazed at the amount of information out there for getting ride of acne. They say there are certain food you should avoid eating, but I don't know how much I believe that. I had bed acne while I was pregnant, and after I had Brandi, and it didn't matter what I ate. I think it's hormone related. Ryan just turned thirteen, and we all know what a teen aged boys hormones are like.

I am looking into a Natural Acne Treatment that will be gentler on his skin. I don't want him to use something full of chemicals that can damage his skin more. If he needs to use something long term, I want it to be the most natural, organic treatment I can find.
