Hi everyone,
I'm in need of skincare advice. Ever since adolescence, I've been cursed with blotchy, oily, acne-prone skin. I've used various prescription medications with mixed results. These days, I take birth control pills (which help regulate my skin as well as my cycle) and use a salicylic acid solution on my blemishes. It keeps things under control, but I'm looking for something a little stronger, since every time I turn around, it seems like I'm breaking out again.
I've tried most of the major drugstore lines (Neutrogena, Clearasil, etc) but haven't been impressed with the results. I also tried Proactive, and again, I was disappointed. So, I'm thinking of trying something along the lines of Murad, Dr. Brandt, etc. (The kind of skincare you can get at Sephora, basically.)
If you're zit-prone like me, can you tell me what kind of a skincare regiment you use to keep it in check? Also, if you use a prescription cream, what is it? I'm thinking I may need to go to a dermatologist.
Thanks everyone!
