I had the same problem at the beginning of my pregnancy. Thankfully it has cleared up alot and I just have a few on my chin. But I use .Ivory soap and then follow with a dab of benxyrol peroxide gel. Its really helped my face. I still have some left over red marks tho. Maybe they will hurry up and fade also.

I use .Clearasil .Ultra .Acne .Clearing .Scrub. It's the metallic-y bottle &the actual wash is blueish green with blue beads in it. It says something like.. Clearer skin in 3 days guaranteed. It hasn't cleared my skin (.I've always had baaad acne) but it's kept my pregnancy breakouts under control &taken away the big gross zits .I've been getting. Plus it feels sooo good to wash your face with.

Well .I dunno either, girl! But go get some! Lol.


Also, this has nothing to do with acne,
but .I just wanted to add that .Dove .Gentle .Exfoliating
body wash is the most amazing thing ever.
Lol, it makes my skin sing opera or something.

That benxroyl peroxide gel I get is the equate kind you get at walmart and its $1.97 and it lasts me for 2 months and the ivory soap is $0.99 for a 3 bar pack. I found out that cheap products work better on my face lol

Does it really work? I was looking at it the other day but I took a different one instead.

I've been gettin alot of oil bumps lately..Freakin painful. My face has been so oily and nasty since i've become pregnant. Its starting to clear up though, thank god! None of the face scrubs/washes I used seemed to work. I just had to wait it out.

You know what sucks is how on commercials their always saying pregnant people have fabulous skin. Mine is going completely in the other direction. Though I haven't found anything that works yet, I know that a lot of the really strong washes and creams I can't use anymore because they seem to irritate my skin now more than before and leave red blotches.
