Ok so while i am not TTC, I am on acne meds that keep my face until control. Now that I am TTC, I am off all meds and am not using any topicals. I wash with Benzoyl Perioxide soap (which is ok during pregnancy). Anyway, my face is a freakin MESS!!! Anyone know anything you can take or any home remedies that might help? I look like I'm 16 years old....worse actually.


HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know but would love to know what you've read that you can't use....I just finished clomid and my shoulders/back broke out some. I need to know what to cut out soon. I use a balanceing control facewash but need to check ingredients soon.

*raises hand and jumps up and down* OH OH ME TOO! I also have had the mother of all breakouts since coming off BCPs. I miss my BCP complexion. lol I never wore make up and my skin was flawless. Now I actually have to invest in serious skin care products and make up. Booo!!!! I did not realize Salicylic Acid was a no no, but Im glad I dropped in here. I think thats the ingredient in my treatment cream. 1% I think is the concentration? Hmm Ill have to go find some Benzoyl Peroxide. *sighs* I hope someone drops in and has "the secret" lol

Neotrogena has a new line out that is specific to your facial and skin issues....and of course for the life of me i cant remember the name of the website....but i have a friend who is dealing with bad acne right now during her pregnancy and this stuff has nipped it all in the bud for her. if i remember the website i will pass it along....i do know that you take a quiz specific to your issues and type of skin....dang TTC brain never functions quite the same..hahaha

I have never had clear skin. On the pill off the pill it has never mattered. This past spring my Derm. put me on amoxicillian(sp?). Although my skin is not completely clear it has helped a great deal. He specifically asked if we were TTC before he put me on anything, when I told him yes he said that he would normally recommend something more extreme but was not comfortable doing that for anyone who was off the pill much less ttc. Bottom line, he said I would be fine on the amox. while TTC but may have to go off it once I am pg. However, he advised against topicals while ttc/ pg.


What is the problem with salicylic acid?

The Nuetrogena line is called Skin ID. Ive done the whole questionnaire thing but never ordered anything. And I do remember one of the products recommended for me had Salicylic Acid in it...and a higher percentage too...like 2-3 percent. I considered ordering it cuz the introductory rate is super cheap...like 40 bucks I think. Hmm maybe Ill have to reconsider...Thanks for sharing about your friend, its nice to hear about someone real not the stories that I tend to believe are fabricated to make you believe it works. lol Thanks again!!
