The Story of Clearasil
How Clearasil Started
Clearasil was created in the United States in 1950. A person named Ivan Combe invented it with the help of a chemist named Kedzie Teller. At that time, Clearasil was special. It was the first skin care brand made just for younger skin to help with pimples. The first products used ingredients like sulfur and resorcinol.
Growing Popularity and New Owners
To help more people learn about Clearasil, Ivan Combe used a popular TV show called American Bandstand. This helped the product become well-known.
Over the years, Clearasil has been owned by different companies:
- In 1960, a company called Richardson-Vicks bought the brand.
- Later, in 1985, Procter & Gamble bought Richardson-Vicks, which included Clearasil.
- In 2000, Clearasil became part of the Boots Group.
- Finally, in 2006, a large British-Dutch company called Reckitt Benckiser bought Boots Healthcare International, and Clearasil became part of their family of brands.
