Acne Attack! :( (VENT)

in Trying to Get Pregnant

Ugh! I feel like I'm 14 all over again. Strange thing is...I barely ever broke out this bad when I was 14.(assuming its just my hormones trying to get regular but come on already - I've been off BC since 12/09) 

I'm going to be 31 for crying out loud. Angry I need a quick fix for my skin (if there is such a thing) ...anyone have any suggestions on what is best to buy from the local drug store for this crazy acne? Saw the Nutrogena Wave...anyone try that? Sorry to vent - its just driving me nuts.

    If it gets really bad I would use Proactiv. It's as good as they say it is.

    As crazy as it sounds, I've used hand sanitizer on pimples before...stings like crazy but dries em up quick.  Don't know how rough it'll be on your skin though.

    I have had bad breakouts since I went off the pill early January.  I have tried different stuff-it works awhile then quits working.  I might try proactive-although I might be a little old for it.

    It's probably not at the local drug store, but I love Dermalogica Concealing Spot Treatment Acne Treatment for treating pimples. I have the same problem you have (I rarely had breakouts even as a teenager.) This stuff takes away the redness right away and it has sulfur to treat the pimple.

    As far as long term skin care goes, I have tea tree face wash from Trader Joe's that has helped me to not break out as much. The brand is Desert Essence.
