I know our acne is caused by our hormonal issues, but I was wondering if anyone found anything that worked great! I'm so anxious about going out in public and I'm going home in June and I don't want family/friends to see me like this!! HELP!

the only thing that cleared up my skin was going on the pill and drinking lots of water/tea.
but the clinique three step system helped enourmously too.
and i've had friends have amazing results with proactive.

meds: yasmin. prozac 20mg.
four months of lupron. its not as bad as everyone says.
diet: strict vegetarian. eat organic as much as possible. avoid dairy. unsuccessfully try to avoid carbs.
My skin really reflects how I am eating. If I eat a lot of junk my face looks horrible. Keeping on a good diet really does help. I have heard some studies that say that what you eat doesn't affect acne, but I have to disagree to an extent. It could just be that eating healthier when you have PCOS gets your hormones more in check, but whatever it is I do see a difference in my skin.

I had given up hope because I believe that acne is hormonal as well. I looked being on Yasmin, my skin was gorgeous, but I was unable to tolerate the side effects.
I decided to try some cheap OTC stuff, after years of not using anything because I thought that I could only change from within. I had tried Proactiv years ago and had some results, but it was too explensive. I thought I would try to get some stuff similar what you do with Proactiv. Low and behold, I have gotten some results. I bought Clean and Cleard Black Head Removing Scrub and C and C Continuous Acne Cleanser. I use both of them at night and then I use Nuetrogen Adult Acne Benzoil Peroxide cream. I cover my nose and cheeks and chin and forehead and jamline with it and my blackheads have gone way down. If I remove then, they stay gone much longer. They will. The large pimples have not come back at all. Now I just have some small ones.
My skin is pretty dry and flaky now, but I will take that anyday over the acne.
