[Acne] 28 year old that is at her wits end.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Good Morning!This is incredibly tough for me to type out. Every since the age of 11 I've struggled with acne. I've never had a day in my life of "clear skin". There are days look in the mirror and cry over the genetics cards I've been handed. Proactive was a scam. Ulta skin beauty appointments had me shelling out an embarrassing amount of money in a 1/2 year month period. Ortho birth control sort of put it under control, but I suffered side effects that had me discontinue use after 5 years. I've had brought up the issue to my doctor about my acne several times and it's been a bit brushed off (5% benozoyl peroxide lotion was a joke). Along with your help I have also enrolled in Curology. I'm starting to think I'm a little harsh on my skin and please be gentle. If needed I can PM photos if you need a closer look, I'm really hesitant on posting them here. I'll give as much detail as I possibly can.Problem areas: -Whiteheads on cheeks, chin, forehead, upper lip, neck, around my shoulders and sometimes my arms. -Whiteheads can be deep but also be on the surface -Blackheads around my jawline, chin, sides and areas around my nose.Skin type: -Hyper pigmentation -Oily constantly unless seasons are changing....then I get dry patches.Things to consider: -I do have PCOS, around my period acne flares up even worse than normal -I wear glasses -I have a phone to the side of my head several times a day in my line of workI use one skincare line currently so you'll see several products by them listed below.Current routine: AM: -Mario Badescu Acne Facial Cleanser - If an hour or two later if my face is ungodly oily, Mario Badescu Special cleansing Lotion C -Treating spots during the day Mario Badescu buffering lotionPM: -Wash my face again Mario Badescu Acne Facial Cleanser -For problem areas Mario Badescu Drying LotionNo moisturizer or SPF, bad I know. If this is out of your realm I'll point blank tell my doctor (and my wallet because IL healthcare is expensive) I need a dermatologist. Thank you so much for reading this and have a wonderful day! :)
