Re: Adult breakouts --- I could use your recommendations!

Thanks, everyone! I will try and read up about all these things.

And I did not realize that about the hormones and how they changed. Perhaps this is what is happening to me. Sheesh. It's always something! Wrinkles and acne at the same time. Yuck!!!

I agree about trying Murad. I am in meno and I do get breakouts. I use Tea Tree Oil on the areas that are prone to breakouts which really helps. I recently had one on my cheek that kept coming and going. I tried the TTO, the pink drying lotion Dri Lo from SSC and a blemish patch from Missha. Nothing was working. I got a free sample of the Acne Clearing Solution from Murad and tried it. It worked quickly and it is a lotion so it didn't dry my skin out. I have checked the price for the product and so far ebay is the cheapest. You don't need a lot unless you get many breakouts.

My advice would be to check with your doctor, it sounds like it could be Rosacea, and there is a prescription gel to help that.

I have read about Rosacea in the past. Does Roascea give you large red hard bumps under the skin which are very painful like someone punched you? And there are no heads on them and they do not it*ch.

Thanks so much. And yes, I am using the bare bones of product. And I am not using anything else until I see the doctor. I am going to be very curious as to what they say. If they will do anything for me or just fluf*f it off as they have in the past with me with other skin ailments saying "non-specific dermatitis." Which, tells me like --- nothing!
