Acne After BCP


After i come off BCP, i developed acne (mild-moderate)
I'd never had acne before.
Obviously i'd get a few spots now and again.
But nothing major.

I never got acne on my face
It just come up on my chest & back.
I found this just as hard to deal with than having them on my face.
As i couldn't choose to wear most of my clothes.
I just wanted to cover up all the time
which in turn effected my mood.

I'm happy to say, It's basically completed gone.
& the things the doctors perscribed me, were, all in all. useless.
I firstly got a roll on type ointment.
& secondly i got retin-a.
then i went back to ask for a BCP that would benefit my skin.
I was put on Dianette.
By this time, I had already started using Neutrogena rapid clear gel.
And my acne was improving.

I finished Dianette after a month, and didn't start a new pack as I do want to TTC.

I have continued using Neutrogena rapid clear gel.
& Neutrogena daily blackhead exfoliating scrub.

Both of this products are keeping my skin clear.
I've had one new spot.
which is basically already gone, after two days of first appearing.

So if anyone has experienced acne after BCP i would highly recommend Neutrogena's visibly clear range.

I never had severe cystic acne.
So i would suggest this products for people with mild-moderate acne.

But I would also say
Don't stop just as soon as your skin is clear.
I am continuing using this products, and will do indefinitely.
