Are you stuck with acne and also have sensitive skin? My son is a teenager and is highly allergic to benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. We have been doing quite a bit of research on skin care products since he was about 13 and his acne started up. We tried one of the top advertised brands and their three step process (their commercials are online everyday still) and my son broke out in bright red hives all over his face and neck. Since he has asthma, I was very concerned and we ended up rushing him over to the doctor to try and stop the reaction. Three weeks later his skin returned to its “normal” state (with some acne) and he was able to stop taking his medications.
Why subject your child to this? Most over the counter acne treatments have too many ingredients to count, much less pronounce or even understand exactly what you are putting on your child’s skin. I must admit, my son was completely turned off from any skin care regimen for a few months after his “over-the-top” reaction to the three step acne product. But as a mother who does not give up, I kept searching and searching for a more natural approach to treat his acne.
And eventually I found it. Arbonne carries a new product (just released in May 2013) called CALM. We are currently using the Calm Gentle Daily Cleanser (Item # 8700) and Calm Gentle Daily Moisturizer (Item # 8701). The product are all natural and free of any sulfate and benzoyl peroxide. We both are trilled with the progress so far (‘Before” and “After” pictures to follow) and it has only been a week.
If you are interested in ordering this product, please go to my site KateCase.myarbonne.com and type in the item numbers 8700 and 8701. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (845) 538-3623.
