Acne/busted in the face!

readyornot12345 · July 2013

I'm seriously looking sooo busted with acne all over my face. It's so gross! I have over 100 pimples! My skin has always been clear prior to pregnancy. Any suggestions on what natural things to use to try to improve it? I know sacyclic acid and benzoyl peroxide are no nos. Right now I'm using belli products but they are doing nothing. And weleda face lotion but its definitely not helping.

I've been using St. Ive's and it's been working nicely. Not as great as the stuff with the sacyclic acid, but it's decent enough. Other than that, I just try not to wear makeup as much anymore.

Second the St. Ives. Also try not to wear makeup.

I've been using clindamycin prescribed by my dermatologist. It's been working pretty well. I also use the belli face wash though too.

I think you actually CAN use benzoyl peroxide and sacylic acid. I asked my doc and she said it's fine. I use Proactiv twice a day and it works.

My doctor told me not to worry about sacylic acid so I still use it. It helps a lot. She said its only harmful when ingested or if I rubbed it all over my body and let it soak in.

Mario Badescu products...I have the buffering lotion and it works for cystic acne, probably regular acne too. You can order online and Nordstrom carries it.

I haven't found anything that's worked for me yet unfortunately, but just wanted to say I can relate. My skin has been terrible, with cystic acne even popping up now and then. Ugh!
