Acne!?

in 1st Trimester
So I am a little over 10 weeks pregnant and I am experiencing the worst acne that I have ever had in my life. I wash my face with sensitive soaps morning and night and when I come home from work it is like more just pops out. Just seeing what other people are doing and what seems to work.  Please help and tell me this is just a phase and it will go away! :-)

    I have bad acne too, right now it's not getting worse though, I'm able to maintain it at least.  I wash my face with a cetaphil bar of soap, using a little exfoliating pad (you can buy those in packs).  I also got little oil-removing face wipes,

    Yes! I'm 5 weeks (just found out last Friday) but I'm so broken out. Weird thing is, I've broken out on my back too, and it's worse than my face! Nothing's helping, so I'm just going to deal with it. Maybe it'll get better closer to T2?

    Just a word of advice to all of you scrubbing away, make sure you take time to moisturize afterwards, with something designed for your face. If all you do is strip away all the natural oils you will send your face into over drive because of the dryness. I

    I just bought a few things from Belli Skincare for this. I had terrible acne with DS and I was never really able to find anything that helped at all that wasn't "bad" for pregnancy. I am hoping the Belli stuff works. I like the way the exfoliator smell
