NEW YORK — AcneFree has kicked off a 30-day sweepstakes aimed at helping users “take back control” of their skin.

The L’Oréal acne treatment brand said Monday that in the #AcneFreeLife Sweepstakes, three winners will receive a grand prize of $1,000 and a one-year supply of the AcneFree 24 Hour Clearing System.

An additional 10 winners will be chosen each week to receive the Acne Clearing System as vie for the grand prize. There will  be a total of 50 weekly winners, the company said.

Through the contest, AcneFree is encouraging consumers to try the products for 30 days and “see the difference.” The company noted that acne affects 40 million to 50 million Americans, and the chronic, difficult-to-treat skin condition can cause stress and lower confidence.

To enter, consumers can visit acnefree.wishpond.com/sweepstakes and complete an entry form. After submitting the form, they can earn additional entries for completing each of the following actions: using the entry form to ‘follow’ AcneFree on Instagram @AcneFree, and using the entry form to ‘like’ the AcneFree page on Facebook @AcneFree.

L’Oréal acquired the AcneFree brand — along with the CeraVe and Ambi skin care brands — from Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. earlier this year for $1.3 billion.
