Is anyone else broken out like a 14 year old?

I am having the worst acne breakout that I have had in over a decade. Is anyone else having this problem?  If so, what are you going to help it?  My normal acne wash is just not cutting it.

    Yes! I'm broken out on my face, back, and shoulders. I'm not doing anything different yet to get rid of it--just hoping it will go away on its own (wishful thinking, right?).

    I did change my pillow cases and I probably won't wear make-up this weekend to give my skin a break. Let me know if you find anything that works!

    Yes! And, I typically use a topical acne cream which I had to stop because it's not safe to use while pg (it has Retin-A in it). So, my skin isn't great to begin with, now take away the cream and add the hormones...yikes! 

    I'm going to make an appt to see my dermatologist because she said she can prescribe a cream that is safe to use when I get pg (and here I am!)

    Haha! I have bigger things to worry about than paragraphs--like my back pimples!

    Yes! I usually use proactiv so I switched to olay and I'm completely broken out :( Thankfully they are not really red and I'm able to cover them up with make-up. Hopefully it doesn't get any worse :(

    This is what I have been using:  https://www.lush.com/shop/products/face/fresh-face-masks/catastrophe-cosmetic  

    They only carry this in store because it is fresh products that they and you keep in the fridge.   Hope this helps.   I have been forever changed by it.  lol

    I recently started using Lush's CoalFace soap and it's working really well for me.
