Deep breath Darcy! LOL

Christopher was about 11 when he started washing with the OxyClean pads. His pediatrician also started him on a cream for his face - tretinoin (Retin A) starting at a low percentage and then cranking it up as he got older.

The cream worked and Cheyanne has been using it since she was about 9 (she has always had "baby acne" with the little bumps all over her T-zone that is now turning into real acne). They have to be consistent with the cream and use it twice a day (it will look like the acne is getting worse for about a week before it starts to get a LOT better). Her pediatrician was very proactive about starting her early knowing ahead of time how bad her brother and her father both had acne as a teen.
