So, Clearasil...

I dunno, I have a couple of spots, nothing too serious, and I've started using it a bit. It doesn't seem to do any harm, though I have yet to see the benefits.

Sudocream is the way to go IMO. I think it's about 1-2% benzoyl peroxide, and if you apply a load to the affected areas at night I find it works wonders.

Works well!

I have moderate acne just on the face and the best thing for it is to get your doctor to perscribe Zineryt!! Give it around 3 days, and most of it is gone!!:) it doesnt dry your skin or anything like that. Unfortuneately if you stop using it even for only two days the damm things pop up again:mad:

When I was about 16-17, I used to have to use things like Clearasil (never used that one in particular, usually the Clean & Clear face washes) because I had really oily skin.

I discovered the hard way at 23 that skin changes over time... after using a Boots face wash for oily skin my skin was red for 3 days because it dried my skin out so much.

well, in an all-male catholic school, Im just saying, I dont particularly have a need to smell like a rainforest. And yeah, I mentioned this once to my stepmom and she got me a roll on, and im like WTF is this? Its hurts! Those things are not designed to accomodate arm hair. No, you need the Stick.

Not to mention my step brother's friend was absolutely tweaked after he got hospitalized for solvent abuse. the moron.

Your poor skin

You should try Silcocks Base or Elave cream. Same idea only better.

I hate the smell of lynx, mainly because my brother practically baths in it, so every time I have to use the bathroom after him, I practically have to go in with an oxygen mask on

Om Nom Lynx Africa is the most delicious smell on a guy ever, A&F Fierce comes a close second though!

Its the only Lynx scent that doesnt give me a blinding headache (That said pretty much anything does) thus it is my scent of choice.

Incidently aftershave gives me a headache

so I cross that off too

Anything liquid from A&F is probably made from squashed puppies though.

LEMON GILETTE FOAM! it actually tastes nice

I used it twice last week and it took half my face off! :eek: There were STRIPS of skin peeling off my face. Almost a week later and I'm still trying to undo the damage with that E45 cream 3-5 times a day

I never used the stuff too much to be honest. the pads were fun and all, but not nearly as much fun as popping one out of the park. Bonus points if the puss splashes off the mirror. Penalties if you left a big red zit-stain behind on your face. Those were the days my friends.

The one that always bothered me growing up in Ireland was ye feckers were all so into your spray deodorants. I missed the good awl stick. And I dont mean those roll-on deodorants either - they were the worst I mean. See, I didnt need to walk into class smelling like Africa, or a ****ing rainforest, or Pulse (what the hell is a pulse SUPPOSED to smell like anyway?) the whole idea was not to smell at all. christ.

Oh Jesus, yes that's true.

Somebody start a thread about Lynx so that I, a non-teenager, can advise you against it. Nothing brings me back to secondary school PE quite like the face-melting scent of My First Deodorant (For Boys!).

or at teenage discos years ago
lynx is well a major cause for the hole in the ozone layer:p

It doesn't really smell like chocolate, although the shower gel does.
And no, shockingly women are not coming up wanting to lick me. The ads lied to me, damnit! :mad:

I think the lynx ads are a bit more knowing though, a bit more tongue in cheek. I mean, they know that obviously, swarms of ladies aren't going to start trying to eat your arm if you use it, but the Clearasil ads are just bare faced -sorry - exploitative crap.

"HEY UGLY! Use this! This will make you sexy and cool and popular and not emotionally stunted! Yes, this!"

Even razor blade ads aren't quite as stupid any more.

lunx ads are effective though
many a time ive walked past a group of lads only to be engulfed in a cloud of lynx fumes

Apart from the horrendous acting, Clearasil ads are awful because they're so exploitative. They play up on teenagers insecurities - it's very cold but clever marketing. And Clearasil aren't the only company that does it - one of the golden rules of advertising is make people feel bad about themselves, so that they think buying your product will make themselves feel better.

Hey folks,

Just wondering what do ye make of the Clearasil ads?

I used to have acne, and remember seeing one of their ads a few years ago and felt compelled to contact them to complain about it!

I think the one I complained about was something like a guy goes up to a girl and she rejects him because he has a spot on his nose. He goes off and uses clearasil for 10 minutes, and next scene she's blowing him. Okay not 100% accurate! But that's basically the idea they were trying to put across -- girls don't like you if you have spots, so buy our product!

Personally it didn't upset me too much, but I can see how it would upset others who were struggling with their self-esteem as a result of the acne.

Yeah Ro-Accutane is suppose to work wonders on really heavy acne,but it has some bad side effects like really dry lips and cause dandruff badly,not to mention suicidal thoughts :eek: hence prescribed to severe cases.

For moderate acne, I suggest using Panoxyl 5 (Benzoyl Peroxide 5%),at night,then using e45 in the morning and afternoon if skin still feels dry.Works pretty well,that my regime at the moment,just my two cents
