Lately I’ve been having cystic acne (blind zits). I used to only get them about once per year, rarely twice per year. Since October I have had 6 of them. I’ve been on the pill for over a year and a half and I know they say BC is one way of helping the cysts. Is the medicine wearing off? I’m not on insurance so it’s not like I can just walk into a clinic and ask for Accutane, my budget is pretty slim as it is.

Are there any home sollutions that actually work on cystic acne? Because that’s all I’m looking for.
I posted this before, and all the answer I got were not effective. Don’t suggest Proactive, epsom salt, lemon juice, witch hazel, toothpaste, hot compress, popping (and yes I know you’re not supposed to pop cysts), eyedrops to get rids of redness, rubbing alcohol, face wash, exfoliant…I wash my face once, sometimes twice a day and exfoliate almost everyday since I have very dry skin. Will anything besides these work?
Why do I even get them if most of my skin is very dry? The parts that get oily aren’t really that oily. To me they are, but to other people it’s just the skins way of staying moisturized, because I’ve seen people with oily skin and mine is nowhere as bad as theirs. I don’t get it.
Forgot to mention…I’m looking for something I can actually AFFORD…

I had moderate acne and oily skin by the way.

I have oily skin and blackheads seems to be my only problem. Please tell me the name of the proactic product that you would recommend or another well known brand for treatment. THANKS!

okay i’m 16 and lately i’ve been getting more oily skin and breaking out more. i have breakout on my chin nd especially my forehead and a few zits around my nose. my t-zone is basically oily and my cheeks are normal. i also get zits around my hair line. i wash my hair once a day and im not overwashing it cause if i miss a day of washing it gets really really oily. i use clean and clear zit gel and that works okay but it doesn’t help much with the little bumpy breakouts only the big zits.

i’ve been thinking about trying the neutrogena system. i had a friend whi said it worked pretty well. anyone else tried it?
