A lot of my close friends know I have a bit of a problem with adult acne. I really don’t know what happened. It was mild from the time I got married to getting pregnant with Ian. It cleared up almost completely while I was pregnant and breastfeeding, but as soon as we weaned…whew! It is BAD and constant. I am not talking one pimple, I am talking complete breakouts along my jaw/neckline. It’s embarrassing, and painful, and just really irritating.
I made the decision to go see a dermatologist. But after reading some ambiguous language in my insurance coverage, I decided to try one more thing—Proactiv. I’ve been using it for almost a month, and things really seem to be improving. I plan to finish up the supply I have before I make any final decisions on whether it’s worth it or not. I have had experiences with other products (Neutrogena, AcneFree, AcneFree Severe) where they begin to work for awhile, and then seemingly stop. If this fails, I will be making an appointment for a derm, ambiguous language or not. This acne cannot continue.
