It’s about that time, Back to School, and just in time for AcneFree Clean Skin Treatments. They have recently introduced 3 new skincare products to their cleansing and treatment line. The “NEW” AcneFree Energizing Treatments include 3-in-1 Acne Wipes, Acne Wash & Scrub and Acne Cleanser. My children tell me that the 3-in-1 Acne Wipes are fabulous. They packed the wipes on a recent vacation and at the end of the day, when they felt that they needed a little extra cleansing, the wipes helped with the dirt and sweat that was built up from being outdoors all day. They like that the 3-in-1 Acne Wipes contain 0.5% Salicylic Acid. They also found that the AcneFree 3-in-1 Acne Wipes worked quite well alone and as a compliment to AcneFree Energizing Cleanser and Energizing Wash & Scrub.
My children enjoy using AcneFree Energizing Treatment products because they contain Benzoyl Peroxide and this formula works very well on their skin. AcneFree Energizing Acne Wash & Scrub contains 2.5% Advanced Micro-Benzoyl Peroxide as does the AcneFree Energizing Cleanser. Keep in mind that not everyone can use Benzoyl Peroxide, so please be sure to read the product ingredients before using AcneFree. These 2 products are also formulated with 3 essential ceramides which help repair your skin’s barrier. According to NYC Dermatologist, Joshua Zeichner, MD, “Dermatologists think about the skin barrier function when treating acne. Contrary to what some people might think, the skin of many acne patients is actually sensitive, because it is lacking ceramics.”
AcneFree Wash & Scrub has a thick consistency as AcneFree Cleanser is a light foam and is dispensed through a pump. What they like about these two products is that they both contain Exfoliating Microbeads which offer a light exfoliation therefore, unclogging their pores while cleaning their skin. You will enjoy the fresh invigorating scent of energizing Iced Orange & Mint and you will notice your skin tone improve with each use. AcneFree Clean Skin Treatments work hard to eliminate impurities on your skin and helps reduce acne break-outs so you can be AcneFree. acnefree.com You can also find AcneFree at drugstores nationwide.

Remember to always follow the directions for maximum results.
