Ok, here's the story: as the regulars on this board know, I have had clear skin for awhile up until about a month and a half ago when I broke out pretty bad with a whole bunch of big cystic pimples and acne on my forehead. (while I was using Proactiv- which i suspect messed up my skin bad). After panicking and using Salicylic Acid, Benzoyl Peroxide, and Tea Tree oil, the cystic acne kinda went down and it's improved in the past 3 days. However, my skin dried a lot and and I put some Eucurin on it (moisturizer) Ive managed to the dryness under control too. NOW: i have a bunch of new bumps that appeared this morning onmy forehead, this time, not as red and a lot smaller, but there's a lot more of them. Is this a new type of acne/pimples or is this the same outbreak again? Is this pimples at all cause they sure look and feel different- and finally, all these little bumps turn into big pimples? These questions are kinda repetitive, but I just want to get a thorough answer... Anyone who knows anything about this or had a previous experience with this problem, please help. IP: Logged |

In my experience, any creme moisturizer only temporarily makes your skin appear softer and moisturized ,meanwhile its building up in your pores waiting for the big eruption.As long as you use it you will probably have more breakouts. IP: Logged |
