Oh no - pimples! :(

I've noticed 5 tiny pimples pop up on my face over the past 2 weeks. I have a great cleanser and a good moisturizer. I need to clear these up! I hate pimples! I know it's hormones and from sweating in the sun, but yuck!

Do you have any good remedies?

    I wish I had a good remedy... And I wish I only had five pimples. 

    I used to consider a single zit a breakout...  

    This is definitely my least favorite pregnancy symptom to date (mind you, I haven't started throwing up, yet).  At least the bloat I can hide.

    Good luck!

    My skin becomes absolutely gross when I am pregnant. Even the texture changes. I wash with Cetaphil and use benzoyl peroxide on the pimples.

    From the American Pregnancy Association's website:

    When choosing over-the-counter medicated acne cleansers and treatments, it is advised that you consult with your health care provider first. There are products that contain benzoyl peroxide, which have been recommended safe for pregnant women to use. However, there are over-the-counter medications that you may want to avoid such as products containing salicylic acids. Always consult your health care provider before taking ANY medications during pregnancy, whether prescription or over-the-counter.

    I know!  Jules, I won't even tell you about the disaster that is my face.  Even as a teenager I never had it this bad.

    One of the first symptoms I had was a breakout... I still couldn't tell if I was PMSing or pregnant at the time but my chin has seen better days.  I'm not even sure what is safe to use.
