Sometimes I feel too ugly to go out in public with those red spots all over my face! I have turned 36 and had been struggling with acne for 20 years. Staring eyes, weird smiles and hurting comments…were part of my life. I have spent many nights staying home because I felt too bad to be social. I even missed school many times and avoided mirrors. I had no friends, no boyfriend and thus started losing my confidence. Even, my efforts to hide my acne under thick layered makeup began to fail. I tried various types of prescriptions and antibiotics with limited success. The pimples appeared and disappeared.

She advised me to use the Clear60 Ultra Gel when I told her about my acne problem. She was so confident that finally out of desperation, I ordered the Clear 60 Ultra Gel. I began using the Gel last October and within two weeks my acne was much better, and after a month I was able to leave the house without makeup. I haven’t had a single deep pimple that would typically take weeks and weeks to go away since I began the Clear60 gel. All my stress and hesitation ended and I started gaining my lost confidence back. Not only the...
