adult acne
Hi all. I have recently been breaking out, most likely due to the stress of planning a wedding and looking for a job. Its not too bad but it's starting to get on my nerves. I have topical stuff from dermo. Does anyone have an herbal supplement advice? My mom is taking fish oil which has gotten rid of her exzema so I thought maybe something would help acne. Any suggestions?

Re: adult acne
I have tried so many things for my acne, and I just recently started taking flax seed oil. It has been working so much better than any other topical treatment I have used. It's very gross to swallow, but I truly have seen great improvements, not to mention that it is good for you for so many other reasons.

Re: adult acne
Is it cystic acne or just pimples? My face used to be a mess and then I started getting facials. I get them every 6-8 weeks and it has really helped me so much!

Re: adult acne
Not wearing make up when possible. With this pregnancy I broke out but I noticed I havent worn make up and my skin is looking refreshed.

I use ProActiv
Same here and it was a life saver for me. The topicals from the doctor just made me dry and red and worse...

Re: adult acne
Ive broken out alot recently as well - due to grad school and work
I just bought some sulfur ointment ( like Mario Badescu) and its drying up the pimples very fast. I just wish I didnt get them in the first place

Re: adult acne
did you get your hormones checked out? Many times an imbalance can cause acne (which is why they prescribe certain BCs)

Re: adult acne
Omega 3 works great!!!!! I use this along with St. Ives apricot scrub for blemishes and clearasol pads/toner. I have noticed a sig change. I had very pimply skin, and in my wedding pics I do not have any foundation on ony eyes/cheeks/lips. Good luck...oh and it's a pretty inexpensive too
