How young is too young for a facial skin treatment?

I am a 16 year old male and I would like to have a facial treatment because I'm starting to develop a lot of acne. I remember asking my mother last year to get a facial, and she said I didn't have enough acne. Now I apparently have too much. She believes that facials will destroy and irritate my skin, although she regularly gets facials herself. Is she wrong?


A lot of spas have facials made for skin with acne, my spa has a great one that's about $60 for an hour. You could just go an pay for it yourself, since it's not like a bikini wax you shouldn't need parental permission.

16 year old girl here
I'm a 16 year old girl and have been using this product for a year now. I've had horrible acne since I was 12 and have never felt good about myself, and I've been bullied for my complexion often. I only use this product at night, not both morning and night as recommended on the package. When I first started using AcneFree, my acne actually got a bit worse for 2-3 months. I almost gave up but I decided that I might as well keep using it, as nothing else has ever worked. After 3 months my skin started getting significantly better, and I was noticing how much less acne I had every morning. After 4 months of using AcneFree, my skin is so much more clear. I feel much more confident about myself and people now compliment my much clearer complexion. After a year of use, my skin is still much better that it once was but I recently started using it both in the morning and at night because I can tell that the acne is attempting to act up again. If this change in routine can't tame it, I might switch to AcneFree Severe Acne Treatment System for more powerful treatment. I just think my skin has gotten used to the normal AcneFree. I highly recommend this product as it has really changed my life for the better.
AcneFree works buttt...
Yes, Acne Free does work wonders. It treats acne just as well as, if not better, than Proactive at half the cost. Unfortunately, there is a downfall: you have to use Acne Free RELIGOUSLY for it to work. I had been using the product for about a month and my skin was almost perfectly clear. I went 48 hours washing, toning, and lotioning my face only twice instead of four times and all hell broke loose! It took me a week to get my face clear again! Gahhh!

Overall, a great product; I just wish it wasn't so time consuming. I guess you have to go the prescription cream route if you're looking for something to just apply and go.
Acne gone
The product made a vast improvement for my skin for about a month. I'm waiting to see if it will continue to help for a second month. I like the results so far.
AcneFree Ruined My Face
I hate this product!!! I am 14 years old and this treatment just helped my acne spread around. The first week, nothing happened. Then, the second week my face started peeling! But, I wasn't even using that much of the product. The third week my whole face was full of acne and still peeling. I was horrified. So I took pictures and noticed it just got worse and worse by the time I use it.

Please help me, should I keep using it and wait for the results? Or should I stop?

Please! My face looks horrible! Help me.
Dries out your skin, but works.
I was going to give this 3 stars because the cleanser and maybe the repair lotion too dried out my skin. Maybe it was everything, but definitely the purifying cleanser stripped all moisture from my face. My face was flaky dry, tight, and painful at times. It hurt, but I had no acne. I tried moisturizers, but maybe if I had bought a moisturizer that was more powerful and used it twice a day it would have brought my face back to normal. I don't know. I'm tempted to try this out again since it worked before I just stopped cuz it made my skin dry.
I am using a prescription med. but it's not working anymore I believe, I'm breaking out and have been ever since summer so that would be 3 seasons I had almost clear skin. The perscription didn't get rid of all the acne, about 90-95 percent of it, which is good enough, right?

So that is why I'm tempted to use this again, it will def dry my skin out, which is not fun when you can't move your face easily without pain. Maybe it could work, but Benzoyl peroxide ruins my face, dries it out, makes me red, but does get rid of pimples. Well Benzoyl peroxide isn't for me, and AcneFree contains this in 2 or all 3 of the steps in the system! Which is not good, for me at least.

I heard about AcneFree sensitive kit for people with sensitive skin and can't handle the original formula so I'm extremely tempted to try that out since my skin perscription isn't working right now and school is gonna start and I don't wanna start High school with nasty skin!!! So i'm willing to run over to walmart and try out the sensitive kit.

Overall I give this 4 stars because if it did not dry out my skin, this would have easily been 5 stars. But I'm not giving it 3 because it did work, but there's one MAJOR trade off, dry skin, or acne? At least for me, that was the options with this kit. Still I loved it and you can love it too, if you skin can handle benzoyl peroxide then try this out. You'll probably love it.

(My skin is combination skin (oily T zone normal face overall) and my skin isn't really sensitive but when Benzoyl peroxide is in the picture, yes it is!! So thats my background, and I've had acne since 6th grade so about when I was 11 years old. I'm 14 & a half now. and I have acne scars that are bigger than the average freckle but aren't like puddle size. I have tried everything except for Stridex, Proactiv, Max Clarity, and a few others like The Wave but that is it.) If Sensitive kit in AcneFree don't work, I'll have to head over to Max Clarity or see my doc.

Customer Reviews

This really works!
I don't know how much money I have spent on face wash that claims to stop acne, but I'm sure at this point, I really don't want to know. My brother suggested Dermalogica to me, so I tried out a small bottle of the clearing skin wash acne treatment. For the first three or four days, my skin reacted to it and started adjusting. My skin felt scaly and rough, but I kept using it. By the start of the second week, my skin was softer and smoother than it's ever been, and breakouts were reduced to almost nothing. I've been using Dermologica now for approximately four months and could not be happier. If I say something about my bad acne, people ask me what I'm talking about. I would definitely recommend this product.
Dermalogica
I love this product. The only drawback is the bottling. The bottles tend to leak when it gets down to the end which is annoying.
Gentle and Effective Cleanser
In my teen years I was plagued by really bad acne. Now that I'm 24, I no longer have actual clinical "acne", which is a relief. However, my skin is still very prone to periodic breakouts, which is why I'm constantly looking for a good skincare line. Yet most of the anti-breakout products I find in CVS are way too harsh for my skin--the levels of salicylic acid are much too high for my skin. If you're a teenager or a woman older than 35, CVS is the perfect place to find good skincare products at great prices. But if you're in your 20s and early 30s, there is no product that is really well-balanced for your mature-but-not-too-mature skin.

I started looking at Dermalogica at first because they are Leaping Bunny certified [...]. This means that they absolutely do not test on animals and are cruelty-free, which is something Clinique and other high-end skincare lines can't say. After a bit of research, I decided to take the plunge and plunk down the money for the Clearing Skin Wash, Gentle Cream Exfoliant, and Oil Control Lotion. And I'm so thankful I did! My skin is noticeably healthier and shine-free, and I haven't had a breakout since I started using these products. I still get the occasional pimple around my period, but nothing like the breakouts I was getting before.

Before you buy any Dermalogica product, I highly recommend visiting their website [...]. They have an interactive tool that helps you determine which products are best for your skin, which is how I decided on the three products I purchased. You can also check to see if your salon/spa sells Dermalogica, but be prepared to pay a lot more than what you'll find here on Amazon.
Perfect cleanser
This is just about the perfect cleanser. I like all the products from this company but his cleanser is one of my favorites. It works very well on skin that is oily also. I recommend any product from this company and if you are looking for a great over all cleanser that helps exfoliate the skin.
Best face wash!
When I first used this wash I was amazed how my skin felt...like velvet! It makes my skin feel so soft, and dries out my acne. You have to buy this stuff, and only a small dab will wash your entire face, so it should last you a good year. Def recommend it!

Customer Reviews

This Book is so good...
This book is so good, ... that someone stole it from me within the first week of me receiving it. As the other reviewers mentioned, this is an excellent derm book. The pictures are clear, concise, all the information you would need to make a diagnosis; including usual pattern of distribution, description, up-to-date treatment guidelines. Very concise! Well, need-less-to-say, I hope that who ever stole my book ends up using it to treat the 100's of skin diseases that I wish upon them and theirs! I hate thieves! So, I guess I'll just have to fork over the bucks to get another one, it's that good!!!
NPstudent
This is the best derm book. Excellent pictures with easy to follow dx, tx, and diff dx. Highly recommend.
one of the best derm book
This is possibly one of the best derm book for student/resident. It's clear, concise, & well organize. Enjoy this book much better than Fitzpatrick. I especially love the appendix that include differential diagnoses per body region.
Dermatology paperback by Habif
Excellent book, good pictures. I like the grouping by body part and specific classifications of dermatologic disorders.
Great derm book!
Fantastic book, I absolutely love it. Lots of nice pictures,the book was much better than I had expected - a great buy!

Extremely useful text
This text was helpful to me from the first day it arrived. When I changed my Pediatric practice location from New England to California, I needed to increase my knowledge base of skin conditions in various ethnic skin types. As I read through the book, I recognized lesions that I had seen but not understood in the past. I am offering my patients a higher level of expertise and better treatments for their skin disorders, epsecially those with pigmentary changes. I would recommend this book for any primary care physician with a multicultural population.

It includes sections on African-American, Asian, and Hispanic skin. The book reviews the structure, function, biology, and epidemiology of skin of color. It also reviews all aspects of various skin disorders that occur in skin of color with supporting photographs to aid in diagnosis. It has chapters on various skin conditions that have a higher prevalence in darkly pigmented skin such as keloids, vitiligo, pseudofolliculitis barbae, melasma, and pre- and post-inflammatory hyper/hypopigmentation disorders. It also reviews the diagnosis, pathology and treatment of disorders associated with skin appendages, hair, nails, sweat and sebaceous glands, skin cancer, cosmetic dermatology, pediatric dermatology, and a section on international dermatology. Dr. Kelly, Dr. Taylor and all of the contributing authors are to be congratulated on providing an outstanding contribution to the field of dermatology.

smells sooo good
i've had acne since the onset of puberty. it has always been pretty crazy and many dermatologists recommended that i take pills. my doctor forced me to try Obaji and i've been using it for the past two years. the toner is the most important part of the system, in fact, at this point, it's the only part i use. as a chemist and a future dermatologist, i've now found out that the salicyclic acid is key and any products with a high concentration of it would produce the same results. you won't find these products in drugstores but you can definitely order them on amazon. this product overall smells absolutely amazing and makes my pores SOOOO tiny after a hot shower or after having my pores cleaned professionally. minimal redness and drys very quickly. you only need a little bit so don't overdo it.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!
