Went off my BC as I am trying to conceive and my face has broken out so badly 😫 and when it’s almost all healed it just erupts all over again. Anyone else experience this? Any remedies?

Same thing happened to me! I started using Obagi CLENZIderm and it’s worked miracles! My doctor said it’s fine to use for now. Good luck with your skin and making a baby! I’m in the same boat!

I had hormonal acne for a long time. I love Tabula Rasa and TreeActiv cystic acne spot treatment. They’re both spot treatments, not a whole-face thing. You might also try a product with Retinol like Suki radical youth serum. I haven’t had issues for awhile but I think that’s more just being 42. 🙃 Sorry you’re dealing with this. Just know you notice and judge it more than anyone else does or will. It will pass. ❤️

Girl, I feel you. I have an issue that is exacerbated (we think) by the pill, so dr wants me to go off it. Sure enough, going off the pill causes several other damn issues. When I did try going off it, my skin totally broke out. So frustrating. You just can’t win. Still in the process of trying to find a solution...

Same, same. Going off BC for the first time in years and my body is v confused.

Acne starts in the gut . Pick up a few books on healing the microbiome and going grain free

Dr uzi Reiss is a master of hormone balancing

Same thing happened to me. Thayer’s rose water toner helped dry out my acne and drink warm water with lemon juice every morning.

Try to stop eating eggs. I heard it’s bad for acne. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I can do that! I don’t eat eggs too much anyway

Please don’t use any products on your face if you are trying to conceive without consulting a dermatologist. Most acne meds are very harmful to a fetus. I had the same issue but when I got pregnant those hormones did the same trick as BC and cleared up my skin!

Not taking accutane or retinols, looking for OTC solutions

Once you level out it’ll get better! ^Same, my skin has been so great during my pregnancy. Good luck, OP!!
