What medication was it? You are no longer on it, right? How long ago did you stop it?+
If it was a med that affected hormones, and you have stopped taking it just recently, it may take 3-6 months for your skin to get back to normal on it

Everyone's triggers are different. Sometimes it's the dose. For example, my sensitive, rosacea AND+
acne prone oily skin loves 2.5% BP in a mild base, like Walgreen's Proactiv dupe, but LRP's US version of Effaclar duo w/ 5.5% BP gives me almost a ch

Same boat. I had to to go off of my BCP pill and I have that too. The cystic ones I find respond++

I thought the 10% BP was kind of high. I have never heard of applying low %BP for a few minutes then
rinsing; that's a great idea. I have the Bioderma Sensibio micellar water, so I will use that. I have tried CeraVe products with no success. I have no

Agree you should stop using the offending product. All is YMMV. Niacinamide can work wonders w/ some, and cause terrible irritation and breakouts w/

An acne cyst right? If so, I have had great luck using the Proactiv Sulfar Mask on it over night. It definitely helps speed it along. I just put it
