Poppin' and Lockin' with Clearasil

This morning I attended one of the most exciting events I've ever gone to. Michelle Tractenberg hosted Clearasil's Pimple Blocker Battle, in celebration of the launch of their Ultra Pimple Blocker Pen, $9.99. Five teenage dance crews competed at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square to become Clearasil's first ever dance crew. (Think America's Best Dance Crew teenage style). I've posted about this upcoming competition before, but didn't expect it to be so big.

I got to meet all of the celebrity judges which included Drew Lachey, Alyson Stoner (the white chick who's in all of the Missy Elliot videos, she rocks) and choreographer to the stars, GEO. Hundreds of people watched as the crews gave it their all for the $10,000 prize pack that was up for grabs.

Two were chosen off the bat to move onto the final round, but it took an intense freestyle battle between the remaining three crews to determine their fate. I've never seen anyone bring it harder than a crew from Boston called "Spot Stompers." The judges agreed and they joined the "Ultra Cru" and "CompleXion" in the finals.

Now it's up to you. Check out the videos of the crews performances from today's event online here between April 9th and May 9th to vote for the crew that you think deserves the title!

Clearasil Searches for First Dance Crew

When I was young, Clearasil used to be my go-to line for everything skincare. Every once in a while I still get a zit here and there and I recently came across their Ultra Pimple Blocker Pen, $9.99, which you put on right as you feel a pimple forming. I decided to test it out, and sure enough, it stopped my zit from ever fully developing.

In conjunction with this new product launch, Clearasil is holding their first ever Pimple Blocker Battle in search of their First Dance Crew. Teenagers from all over the East coast auditioned for five spots to compete in front of a panel of celebrity judges including celebrity choreographer GEO, Drew Lachey and Alyson Stoner at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, NYC on April 7th. Michelle Tractenberg is hosting.

Three crews will move on and America will vote online. The winning crew receives a $10,000 prize pack! Check out some of the auditions on You Tube and stay tuned for a battle update!
