Three Steps to Clear, Beautiful Skin with Jan Marini Benzoyl Peroxide

Unsightly acne can make even great-looking people want to hide away. That's where Jan Marini Benzoyl Peroxide comes in -- it helps clear up and prevent acne breakouts.

Dermatologists recommend benzoyl peroxide, the most effective antibacterial medication ever developed, because it prevents acne bacteria from getting the nourishment needed to thrive.

The lotion and the wash can be purchased separately, but Jan Marini also offers a kit specifically designed for maximum effectiveness for teenagers. These products contain special emollients that won't clog pores but will reduce irritation and dryness.

Step 1: Wash every morning and evening


Start with a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide wash. Work an amount about the size of a quarter gently into skin until it lathers.

Wet a clean washcloth and wring it out, then gently wipe off the wash. Finish up with 10 to 15 splashes of lukewarm water to remove the remaining product.

The cleanser is non-drying and will also remove makeup and oil.

Step 2: Treat every evening


Use Jan Marini Benzoyl Peroxide leave-on lotion for this step. Teenage girls should start with the 5%; boys with the 10%. (Teenage girls can use the 10% lotion if further treatment is needed.)

After washing, apply a small amount of the leave-on lotion to areas where breakouts appear or to the entire face. If the breakouts don't resolve, use the lotion in the morning and evening.

To prevent future breakouts, use the lotion consistently.

For some teens, the lotion may cause bothersome drying or peeling. If that's the case, reduce the frequency of application.

Step 3: Protect every day


Every morning, no matter what the weather, apply the kit's SPF 30 Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant generously to face, neck, and ears.

Always apply the sunscreen before going outside. If sensitivity or irritation develop, stop using the products and talk with a doctor or dermatologist.

With these three simple steps, teens can stop acne in its tracks and show a beautiful, glowing face to the world.
