Time-of-the-month acne?!


Question: I'd been on the Pill for many years and my acne was reasonably under control. Recently I went off the pill and I've been getting awful "period acne" every month. It barely clears before it starts up again. Basically I'm wondering if there's any kind of treatment that's especially helpful for these hormonally-related breakouts. I can't afford prescription stuff like ProActiv, but over-the-counter should be okay. I'm also open to herbal/holistic remedies. Thanks!

The generic Pro Active is in the makeup and cleanser dept. It is in a kit and the same thing for about 16.00, you will like it and keep it on hand.==

well i know that the pill keeps pimples under control
im not sure if all that clearisal and stuff works but it doesnt hurt to try

i use 2 different prescription medicines and they work wonderfually though
they are awefully expensive like sixty dollars a tube
but they're called differin and duac topical gel

maybe u can go to ur dermatoligist and find out whats best for u

ask your friends what they use.Ask your doc to recomend something.he may even be able to give you a sample of some med.Be careful to check of your your reactions to the meds.becare what you use--esp on your face.

BIRTHCONTROL! good luck! :)
