Re: acne...help!

my 2 cents: drink a ton of water, use cetaphyl, don't take hot showers (only luke warm or cool water on your face) and be sure to change your pillow case frequently. Best of luck!

I got acne bad starting at week 6-12. I went to the derm and they couldn't really do much, there are limited things you can use. He gave me Finacea and I use Proactiv which has mixed reviews from people. Not sure if it was the Proactiv and Finacea or just the leveling of my hormones, but it did clear up around weeks 12-13.
