Face Reality Skincare Partners with Olympic Swimming Medalist Abbey Weitzeil

Face Reality Skincare creates a personalized acne treatment plan which includes a combination of professional services and at-home regimen.

Face Reality Skincare is partnering with Abbey Weitzeil, a former Golden Bear from Cal Berkeley and Olympic swimmer, for June Acne Awareness month.

A 2016 Olympic Gold and Silver Medalist and American Record Holder, Weitzeil holds the title as the first woman in history to swim the 50 yard freestyle in under 21 seconds. Weitzeil is a Sullivan Award finalist and received the 2020 Honda Sport Award for Swimming.

At this month's U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Omaha, Weitzeil qualified for the 2020 U.S. Olympic Swim Team in both the 50m and 100m freestyle, with the only sub 54 (53.52) performance.

"Abbey is arguably one of the most dominant female sprinters in collegiate swimming history, she embodies strength and is a symbol for women's empowerment," says Jeremy Soine, CEO of Face Reality Skincare, in a news release. "However, despite her athletic success and achievements in the pool, Abbey has struggled to find balance with her skin. She recently sought the help of our team of Acne Experts to help her develop a strategic skincare program, so she can confidently step up to the blocks in Tokyo."

Weitzeil was first introduced to Face Reality Skincare through a friend. Soon after, she began her treatment program in April.

"I have been using Face Reality Skincare for a couple of months and I have already seen an incredible difference in my skin," says Weitzeil. "Since I was young, I've always suffered from backne and in more recent years, breakouts on my face as well.  Hours and years in the chlorine pool was negatively affecting my skin and I started to get so self-conscious every time I got out of the pool. Not just physically, but mentally, I was not feeling confident in my own skin. I've always thought that the secret to clearing acne was to dry it out, but I've only recently learned that is a myth. Finding a regimen that both treats and hydrates skin has been such a game changer for me, and for the first time I feel like I'm getting my acne under control."
