Advice on how to control breakouts?

Mrs.Ram

So I guess my being on the pill helped in more ways than I thought! Ever since going off the pill, and being disallowed to use the creams I was using before, my skin has been out of control. I'm breaking out a lot, and not just on my face (sorry if that's TMI). I'm on a cream now that my dermatologist says is pregnancy-safe, but I don't think it's really doing anything. She claims there's nothing else I can do, but there has to be something, right?

Anyone know a good way to control the breakouts?

Are you drinking plenty of water?  I'd up the water intake and make sure to wash your face every night.

Burt's Bee's Blemish Stick - I love it. https://www.burtsbees.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=-35&categoryId=10004&subCategoryId=-64&catalogId=10051&storeId=10001&langId=-1

Tea tree oil also works too but I can't handle the smell of it right now.

Wash with a mild cleanser 2X a day... and the ONLY thing that works for me is 5% Benzoyl Peroxide on the breakouts or thin layer on trouble T-zone areas... I use this:
