Eighty-five percent of adolescents experience acne. While acne is caused by hormonal imbalances that lead to an increase in oil production there are two ingredients that are clinically proven to heal, treat and help prevent acne: benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.
When dealing with acne, dermatologist Dr. Erin Welch says, “I’ve learned over the years that most teens don’t care why they have acne. They just want it to go away. And it comes down to two very basic principles – ingredients and regimen.”
Dr. Welch suggests a daily regime of cleansing, treating and hydrating. While there are many over the counter products that contain benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid the difference occurs in the delivery of active ingredients.
OXY® Clinical is a new line of acne fighting products that not only has the right ingredients to effectively treat acne but incorporates new, continuous-release technology allowing the products to work longer. OXY® Clinical offers breakthrough complexion care, providing pharmaceutical-grade medications without a prescription.
The OXY® Clinical Advanced Face Wash is a continuous-action formula that fights breakouts even after rinsing by using its patented AcneShield Salicylic Acid. While ordinary medication rinses off after one minute – up to 80% of AcneShield remains – fighting acne longer.
For prescription strength acne bacteria reduction, OXY® Clinical Clearing Treatment eliminates 99% of acne bacteria in just eight hours. Its patented OXYSphere micro-encapsulated benzoyl peroxide remains on the skin longer to reach acne bacteria deep inside pores.
OXY® Clinical Hydrating Therapy’s 3-in-1 formula goes beyond moisturizing. Salicylic acid exfoliates skin, uncloging pores and fighting blemishes. The patented Poly-Pore™ technology hydrates and nourishes the complexion to absorb and prevent overproduction of oil. It’s formulated with hyaluronic acid to revitalize skin and help retain moisture.
“The thing I tell my patients and moms, is that it doesn’t matter what products I give them for their acne if they don’t use it,” says Dr. Welch. “One of my recommendations is for them to put their treatment by their toothbrush and I always want them to know the truth is celebrities don’t clear up acne – ingredients clear up acne.”
