Do you still suffer from pimples?



  • ....always!
  • ....just before that time of month!
  • ....one or two, any time of the month!
  • ....never. I have perfect skin!

I've never tried the Neutrogena acne products, but I really like Neutrogena's other products, so I will keep that in mind, thanks!


It does seem that the pill works well for acne! I also found my skin was very good when I was on it; unfortunately the pill has other bad side effects for me so I had to go off it. Hormones definitely seem to be the culprit when it comes to blemishes!

I like Neutrogena stuff too, it's not too harsh and does the job :-)

My vote was "one or two, any time of the month". I have tracked down my "triggers" 1) if I forget to take my make up off at night-I'll get a few on my forehead 2) if I'm stressed out I'll have a couple on my chin.
I think it's so wierd that these always come up in the same spots. I am very thankful it's managable and I love my Mary Kay Acne Treatment Gel. After a day or two, they are gone (providing that I wash my face and don't stress) LOL

One thing I can't stress enough is WATER WATER WATER and the importance of it. I think that helps me immensely. I will never forget the woman at the hairdresser asked me what I drank and I said mostly water and she said she could tell because I had no lines in my face, at 33 I was glad to hear someone say that.

But also, if you have acne prone skin, when you are switching products its good to give the new product some time to work, changing products every other day, isn't going to really give you the necessary time to see if it's working and may just aggravate the situation, even if the situation gets worse before it gets better give a product a good few months before you totally give up on it.
