Recently I tried a few new products. I have the type of skin that rarely breaks out. I never have had acne in my life and all of a sudden yesterday my forehead became full of pimples. I'm not sure if it's the products I tried but I'm not used to this and going crazy! I haven't touched it yet just removed my makeup with a makeup wipe. I'm wondering what I should do!

I recommend getting a prescription cream called Epiduo! It works like magic and I have gotten results from using it the day after!

Maybe your breaking out because if hormones? If so, there is really nothing you can do about it.

You should probably stop using whatever products you are using as they could very well be the cause of this. It's a good idea not to wear makeup to let your skin breathe, you can also get an acne treatment or wash if you feel like you need it.

I'm just don't know if it's acne or a reaction to products. Because I know if I use acne cleanser or any acne products it dries you out which sometimes makes you breakout more.

Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid should work. I had the same type of breakout and in just under a week of using both products, I was almost spot free!

You only break out more from using acne products if you don't use a moisturiser along with them. Because the products are drying your skin, you will produce more oily to combat the dryness and, in doing so clog your pores, creating more spots.

Also drink a lot of water and eat fruit---- helps have a great complexion. Stop with any products that are new. Let your skin breathe and don't wear make up for a couple of days. Good luck
