So since I started hormone dumping I am breaking out like a teenager. I have 3 pimples on my chin as we speak! Annoying as heck!  I was actually very lucky when I was a teenager and never really had acne so I'm not too familiar with good quality products. (my boys just used plain soap and water, so no help from them!) I was just wondering what some of your favorite acne products are that have helped your adult skin.

I have not had my surgery as of yet (actually it is today)but, I do have adult acne and swear by Proactiv.  I use the basic three step kit and nothing more.  It really keeps my skin problems in check.  The times that I have stopped using it, is when my acne flares up again.  Good luck!

Another vote for Proactiv. It helped me after I had my daughter and the acne monster decided to attack me. My daughter now uses it to combat her teen-age acne problems.

I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

I love Proactiv+, the new proactiv line. I was on a clinical trial of it for 2 years prior to it being released. I love it.
