pharmacists prepare for influx
of teens seeking pimple cream.
Councillors in Cardiff have come

a pink glow and exaggerates them.
“It would be very much for

“I know when I was that age I
would have been put off if
blemishes on my face were
shown up - I am pleased that the
police are being proactive,” the
councillor added.
