Hey guys! So after I had my baby girl a year ago, my skin went bananas!! I started breaking out like crazy!! And not just little pimples here and there, I got the annoying painful ones that lasted for weeks or even months.. It's been hard to deal with and my skin has scared so badly :( I've changed my routine morning and night, I eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water, I take vitamins, I work out when I can, I clean my makeup brushes, BUT the acne doesn't go away... Ive tried proactive, retin A micro, all over the counter medicines and cleansers, tea tree oil, and natural remedies liked olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey and sea salt. I am even on birth control to try and control it. I am getting married in August and I need to clear this face up!! Please any help will be appreciated. Thanks guys and sorry for the rant. Xo

Same thing happened to me, and I went to my dermatologist and they said it was cystic acne. It is extremely painful. I took zinc pills for mine, and it kind of cleared it up.. it looks better than it did anyways. Then I went and got an acne peel from a local spa, and it worked extremely well. It removed excess layers of dirt that was left on my face(sounds gross, I know) and helped clear up my skin. Now, I be sure and get EVERY last bit of makeup off my face at night and I use a retin a cream morning and night. If your retin a cream is not making your face extremely dry, then it is my strong enough. I know mine is working because my face peels all the time. That is what you need. You need your face to peel so new layers of skin can develop. Hope that helped.

It sucks soooo bad!! I hate it and the breakouts are never ending! I've tried retin a micro but my skin breaks out more and the dryness really hurts my skin. I really wish I could at least have clear skin for my wedding... :(
