I'm 31 and have had the same problem a few months ago. I started using Bosica Willow Bark breakout treatment and a little coconut oil to moisturize. Hope that helped

where can u get that at?

I got mine at Sephora. It was only 15 bucks I think. A little goes a long way so it'll last a while. You could get coconut oil at a heathfood store or Walmart

Really? If you don't mind me asking, what did they tell you/what treatment did they give you?

well, at the time they told me to use Cetaphil. i didn't notice any difference. i also have a hard time finding a good moisturizer. a lot either leave my face feeling dry or very oily (i have combination skin). I'm originally from the east coast n now live in the Midwest. maybe that has a lot to do with it (climate change).

cool! thanks :)

All they did was tell you to use cetaphil? I'm not surprised it didn't do anything. Clearly your acne is hormonal and there may be an underlying cause of it. I would have thought given your age they would have tried to solve what the root of the problem is! Regarding moisturiser I can recommend Simple. It's very light and great for people with skin problems because its very gentle. The red rice range at L'Occitane is great for oil control. I have also heard that a lot of people have had good results with the acne.org regimen. I hope you can find something that works for you because I understand how depressing it can be!

I've seen commercials for the Simple products n wondered about it. Yes, something's gotta work eventually! :)

I reduced my dairy intake and that really helped clear up the hormonal breakouts around my chin. If you do a google search for "acne dairy connection", you will pull up some good articles about the correlations of dairy consumption and acne. Of course correlation does not equal causation, but I an attest that the only time I have break outs around my chin and mouth if I've had milk and cheese.
