I use ponds moisturizer night and day clean and clear scrub.. that it. and the same foundation I've had for years.

Ponds cold cream in a white jar? Its highly comedogenic, I wouldn't recommend it for the face. Also, the clean and clear scrub contains some skin irritating ingredients. I suggest you try using a Cerave moisturiser, hydrating face wash and a gentle scrub like the body shop tea tree scrub.

If those products never broke you out before, it could be an internal issue like your hormones.

Could be hormonal have you been under a lot of stress lately or are you on your period?

Clean and clear is a big offender. Even long time users eventully begin breaking out. It thrrows off ph. Morning burst seems to be the worst. From my experience through my clients... that and proactive are to product lines I'd like to make disappear.

If it is stress/hormone related the best thing to do is destress - whether it be with some yoga or exercise - also try and keep your diet clean of food allergens and excess fat and sugar - otherwise just stick with your daily routine and try to add a spot treatment of either benzoyl peroxide or tea tree oil on your existing pimples - there isn't too much you can do but wait for it to pass really - I get stress pimples too esp around finals and that time of the month but these things usually help to speed up the process.
