My acne has been super bad lately and the pill i’m on is supposed to help im also using proactive and it seems like it’s worse every day especially on my chest... i felt like when I started the pill it was getting better. But the past couple of weeks it’s been bad... do people who also use the pill for acne use any other method of acne treatments?

Man, proactively did nothing but make my skin 100% worse. It seemed to work for a month and then bam acne everywhere

I have a reaction to proactive too Clinique acne products work great and they last a long time!! For their wash I get the bar vs foam because I can cut it in half and keep One in the shower and one by the sink. Lasts about 4 months Toner lasts about 3 months and does the gel moisturizer

Proactive is the biggest load of rubbish ever! It made my skin worse! Get off it , just wash your face with a simple bar soap it has nothing harsh in and get some cream for your spots mines called Acnecide , make sure it contains benzoyl peroxide! That will definitely help your skin! I have very bad serve acne all my teens and this helped! What pill are you on? How long have you been on it for?

I’d suggest finding a new skin routine, proactive sucks!

@ssej nikki for 3 months.

I was getting cystic acne for a whole month and it was so stressful! I think what happened to me were my hormones were completely freaking out because I wasn’t taking my bc pills correctly. Anyways I stood to a daily routine and was using tea tree oil for my acne after washing. Also, my face is super oily so I found that washing my face 3 times a day and having blotting paper with you can help prevent new acne. I’m sorry to hear it’s happening to you 😕 Hope it gets better soon.

Also I take vitamin E and lysine everyday now

@Salli yeah recently i did goof up a couple days with the pill but it was kinda bad before as well.

@perrbear also if it’s hot where you are the heat you also might be dehydrated so make sure you drink lots and lots of water whenever you can that also helps. Also I use body wash that is the Cera Ve that contains salysic acid for acne prone skin and it helps me a lot with body break outs. Also maybe in your body use vitamin E oil or not so heavy creams or lotions. You can also use your face wash on you chest while you are in the shower and let sit there for a couple mins and rinse.

UPDATE: My chest acne has went down dramatically and my face is getting a little better each day thanks for the advice everyone i think the cause of it getting really bad was stress. But it is improving.
