My parents called them teenager spots.
I had spots, so I gave Clearasil a go.
Frustratingly, my outbreak began when I was thirteen years old, a time when impressing the girls and looking attractive was top priority.
Back in the 80s, if you were unlucky enough to have spots, the go to product was Clearasil.
I’m sure many of us spent a decent portion of pocket money on Clearasil products in hope of achieving spot free skin.
At a time when spots prevented us from wanting to look our best, Clearasil was at hand to reassure us that a spot free face was just a matter of time.

I remember Clearasil very well, thank you! My mom also took me to the dermatologist regularly. I remember one doctor asking me if I wanted to look like Betty Boop. I said yes, having no clue what he was talking about. At least ‘spots’ sounds better than ‘pimples’, David!
