Win an Active Control Acne Kit from Clean & Clear!
The good people of Clean and Clear have decided to give away on Active Clear Acne Control Kit to one Kikay Exchange reader. Read on for the contest details.
To get the chance to win a kit for yourself, simply write about your worst pimple moment in the comments section below.
The best entry will win the kit. I really have no guidelines about how to consider an entry as "the best", but just to give you all a heads-up, I'm partial to well-written comments that do not utilize text speak:p
It may be a success story about how you overcame the battle over zits, or it may be a "woe is me" comment about how you're currently wrestling with zits. Whatever it is, make me want to give it to you.
In the event that there are several nice entries, I'll probably resort to an online raffle for the finalists. What can I say, I'm easy to please :)
Contest runs from November 9 to midnight of November 13 (Friday), and the big reveal will happen on November 15. Contest is only open to Philippine residents.

I was supposed to attend an awarding ceremony for an essay writing contest organized by NCCA on the influence of Ninoy Aquino in my generation because my entry was chosen. I was told that then ex-pres. Cory Aquino will grace the event. I told myself that I will come but later backed-out because I never had courage to show myself because of the pimples I have then (which started when I was doing thesis in my College years). I really regret not going there because the only memory I had was the certi. they sent me. I think its the worst thing that I failed to do because of pimples.
I consider pimples my inborn curse.
I am well over 30 years of age and I still get them on a regular basis. I can't eat what I want -- I have to avoid stuff like chocolates, mayonnaise, and the like because I feel they aggravate my problem. I can't sleep late because you guessed it, I'll get pimples. I have to visit a dermatologist on a regular basis. It's such a high maintenance life and it's wearing me out. I think I've tried just about everything and I'm at the end of my rope...
Every girl's dream is to walk down a long aisle, radiant in a beautiful white dress. I had the beautiful white dress but the radiant part almost didn't happen. The week prior to the big day, cystic acne plagued my face. I SOS'd my derma the day before the wedding and she graciously obliged to come to my rescue. I saw her in her home (we're neighbors) and she had to inject my acne with syringes I had to buy myself! The swelling eventually went down and the wedding pictures showed no traces of the minor emergency we had to solve days before.
Having sensitive skin is a big problem when you're on a quest for clearer skin like me. I have tried numerous products from the cheap ones to the high end ones. All have not delivered the true results that they have promised. I have notice that my skin only responds to salicylic acid. I have been previously treated by my dermatologist with topical tretinion but lately my skin has become used to it and fights back with a rash and ends up in irritation giving rise to pimples. My skin has calmed down for a while but the pimples keep coming back every now and then. I have become depressed lately and I don't go out that much because I have pimples though not many, still cause an unsightly rough texture to my skin. I have always had good skin but with this going on and off in a month. The fight against acne can be tiring sometimes. To the point that I sometimes have to set my date on days that I don't have a flushed red pimple on my face while talking to my date. Sometimes I become too conscious about it when I talk to someone. My job involves public relations and requires me to always look good. I have tried the Active Clear of Clean&Clear. It's a bit pricey for my pocket since I'm going on a volunteer duty as a nurse trainee. I bought the cleanser since it think it's the most essential off all three. Hope I get to a change to try the whole range.
P.S. I'm the guy who asked you for whatever is left of your 1st set of Active Clear. Thanks... I took your advise to buy the cleanser separately and it did worked wonders!
My worst acne experience is when pimples start to go appearing on my face a week before I have my period. And the embarrassing part is when you face a lot of people. As a Part-time teacher, I meet a lot of students at school, the thing that I hated most about having pimples is when they are at their worst, which seems to be just about every time my time of the month comes! It's not only distracting but it has also become my inferiority. When zit happens, it's like my brain is divided into two, one thinks "gosh, don't look at my pimple, listen to what I'm saying!" and the other half says "one more look and I'm going to gouge your eyes out!" of course, no student of mine was harmed, LOL. I've tried a lot of remedy and make-up only worsens it, and the disappointing part is I have a stack of half-used zit products in my drawer that's no longer seeing the light of day (what a waste), that's why I'm looking for a really good product that would go with my skin that I can marry and live with for the rest of my life, I hope Clean & Clear be the heaven sent! Have a blessed day you all!
My worst pimple moment was when we had our company Christmas party in 2006 and I was the host. I have a pigsawat in my cheeks that is about to explode. I was to embarrass that I ended up not finishing the gig and leaving my co-host. My co-workers where asking me why I became part of the audience and I couldn’t answer. I do not know if they just don’t care of they are just insensitive of the way I feel. Worst is that I have to hide pa during photo-ops.
I think that my absolute, hands-down, worst pimple moment was on a date with my boyfriend early last year. We had just started dating and I was doing my best to primp myself up, and I was horrified to discover a huge zit on my chin on the day of one of our dates. I hurriedly covered it up with some rather heavy foundation and was pleased when it didn't show through. We went on our date and for dinner we went to a nice Japanese restaurant. Sometime during the dinner (probably during the hot miso soup), my zit popped from the heat... and the worst part was that I didn't even notice! My guy looked like he wanted to say something all night, but I didn't press and we finished dinner. I excused myself to use the bathroom and I was horrified to discover that there was dried blood on my zit. I cleaned myself up and pretended nothing happened, and he was nice enough not to mention it. It was incredibly embarrassing, but we've been together over a year and now we can at least laugh about it! :D
im 29 years old and my acne problem started when i was around 25 or 26. imagine the embarrassment! anyway, one of the hundreds of embarrassing moments with acne happened just last month. with my line of work, i sleep in the hospital at least twice a week on a sofa. i just borrow bed sheets and pillow cases from the nurses station. one night i woke with something warm on my ear! i kind of panicked because i was supposed to be alone. so i jumped up and i noticed blood on the sheets. again, i panicked because that department i was in (surgery) was said to have ghosts floating around. i couldn't move, hell, i couldn't even scream! so after what seems like forever, i remembered that warm thing on my ear that woke me up. it turned out that it was a pimple that exploded and bled all over the sheets. haayy... im just thankful i didnt start running and screaming my head off and waking up my seniors. they probably wont let me live it down :)
Oh my! talks about acne really gets me depressed, because i battled acne in 2 of the most important stages of my life
1st is when i was in high school, most specifically senior year. I remembered going to prom with my face made up with heavy heavy foundation just to cover the mess that i used to call my face. That was really depressing. After 15 months, i finally consulted a derma who prescribed me very good products and my pimples disappeared..
but, after 2 - 3 years, they went back and suddenly the effective prods aren't that effective anymore. That time, i am reviewing for my board examination and ofcourse, my already stressed body and mind cannot handle another stress. I consulted my derma who prescribed me a wholly different treatment, which is not as fast acting and as immediately gratifying as the former treatment, but works little by little. Until now, i still have some pesky zits, so hopefully, may be clean and clear can supplement my acne treatment program and finally rid me of this pimples.
It was the final hurdle for my dream job. I woke up the next day to find out that I have a zit on the day that the big boss will interview me. I've done all I could to conceal it. But it's as if it wants to make its presence felt. So of I went to the interview. In the last leg, the boss asked what I did to prepare for the interview. Told him that I read up on the company, burned the midnight oil to see if its ideals are the same as my own. He says, "Oh so that's how you got the zit? Good thing you pushed thru with this despite of that." I was dumbfounded for 3 seconds before I quickly recovered & said, "Well it takes a lot of opposition before I back down. " Guess what? I was hired! Now that's what I call zit zapped!
Hope I win!
It was my final interview for my dream job. The last hurdle so to speak, with the big boss. Woe is me when I woke up on the morning of the interview & found an ugly zit on my nose. I've done what I could to conceal it but it just won't hide. It's as if it wants to make its presence felt. A true test of my ability to make the most of any situation. I went to the interview with a zit sitting on my nose. Was finally done with the interview when the boss asked what I did to prepare for the interview. I told him that I read up on the company, burned the midnight oil just to familiarize myself & see if the company's ideals matches with my own. And the boss says, "Oh so that's how you got the zit? Good thing you came despite of that" :D I was dumbfounded for 2 seconds & quickly recovered by saying that "Well, it takes a lot of opposition for me to back down. " Guess what? I got the job! So the zit was zapped!
Hope i win!
My worst acne experience was during our collge graduation it is probably caused by stress at school. The grad pic isn't too good to look at with all those small pimples on my forehead. Now, I make sure to continue my regimen of CTM (cleanse, tone, moisturize) to prevent zits on bothering me again.
I have had a bout with acne since I was in the 6th grade. There were good skin days and bad ones. When I was in my 4th year of college and graduation was nearing, I was so busy with finishing my thesis, defending it and typing up my manuscript that I barely had the time to sleep.Lack of sleep is my number one enemy, along with my super oily skin and pollution. Weeks before graduation, my skin was in the worst condition I’ve seen and going to the dermatologist at the last minute didn’t really do the trick as my acne-ridden skin needs some time to heal. I was really hoping that I would look my absolute best during my graduation but with the breakout I had I felt so conscious and I really lost my confidence. I didn’t want to have my pictures taken and I felt really down.
Right now I’m experiencing terrible cystic acne on my chin and jawline. I absolutely hate it! I don’t feel like going out because of it, I am terribly conscious.
