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 am sorry, i am no help as i do not break out ( mediterranean skin i guess)

but someone asked - i do know that you need to NOT use retinyl, retin-A, any lotion that has anything like that in it. very important.

and concerning proactiv - my Dh has alwasy had acne issues, and he looked into the proactiv. he saw that it was nothing very different from typical sutff, it is just that it is a package deal, and when people use the routine rigidly, it helps. So his advice is to get anything good and stick with it!! It was kind of a mental thing, people went through the trouble to order it, so they ctually USED it faithfully, kwim?

i agree with the ivory soap - that stuff is good, natural soap. then use some olive oil as moisturizer. but then again, i am a nature freak, and greek so i am biased ;-)

GL ladies!!!!
