I hear you. My face had been horrid ever since I went off the pill. This is actually the first time in months that I don't have several active, exploding zits on my face (just started cycle 5).
Mine too. And today is my Mom's birthday and when I saw her she said "what's with your skin?". She doesn't know I'm off BCP so I just said "stress at work". Which is true, but my skin hasn't been this bad in a long time.
I did just get a Clarisonic Mia 2 weeks ago and I am hoping I will see a huge difference. We'll see!

Mine too *sigh*. I have always had problem skin but it is out of control since I went off BC. My nose is a giant oil slick most of the time and my cystic acne is back. I have a Clarisonic too and it seems to help with the blackheads at least. I have been using Proactive religiously and it is helping. Face is oily but not as broken out.

I know the pain..I went of BCP in 2004 and have acne ever since. My face, arms, back...its like I am 16 again! It gets better from time to time and then it will hit full force as well....
Me too. I think it has to do with the heat and humidity here too. My face is always worse in the summer. And, as DH so kindly pointed out during our "romantic" shower this morning, I have a huge zit on my shoulder of all places!
Re: I hate you hormones!!!
I was just complaining about this yesterday! ?My face is an oily mess with not-so lovely pimples to go along with it!?
Grrrr!?
