BWB/BWLO-skin care question

My acne is getting worse and worse...  pre-going of bc, I was on an oral pill to control it.  Obviously I had to stop taking it.

I really need to find SOMETHING that will help (and preferably not something that costs $50/bottle).  Did anyone have particular luck with something if they had bad breakouts during pregnancy?  I'm getting desperate-my skin looks awful.

Re: BWB/BWLO-skin care question

  • I was never graced with "pregnancy glow" - my face was always broken out while I was pregnant. I never used anything for it at the time, just covered it with make-up and kept doing my same wash routine.

    All I can tell you, is like other pregnancy symptoms, it will go away as soon as that little love pops out of you.

  • I still get it at 35 and elle is 16 months old--ugh!  I use Patricia Wexlers Anti Acne wash from Bath and Body Works and it has worked pretty well.

  • Cass, if you go to your derm, they can give you an Rx for Clindamycin lotion, which is a topical antibiotic that helps control acne.  It's pregnancy category B.  It has worked really well for me and the lotion version keeps my skin hydrated as well.  It's worth looking into.

  • I was very fortunate and had very little problems with acne, I've been broken out since just after conception...
