    Proactive for Face

    Hi all,

    I was told that I shouldn't be using Proactive for my skin. I forgot to ask my OB this yesterday (DOH). I just wanted to know what you use to keep pimples away? My face is usually 'glowing' but during pregnancy I am breaking out!!

    Any suggestions for ok products would be great!

    Not to sure... i never had a problem with breakouts in my last PG. Perhaps ask at your local chemist what you could use?

    Hi Floss,

    I'm breaking out as well - the only thing I can suggest is to keep your face clean (and avoid makeup as much as possible) - cleanse and exfoliate!!

    Goodluck!

    Hi, I've been having some success with a regular mud mask (takes care of general blackheady oiliness) combined with using Blackmore's pimple gel on any pimply outbreaks.

    I love the Neutrogena acne cream cleanser, i have been using it for years. Also I carry those little face cleanser tissues in my bag for when I get a bit hot and sweaty during the day!
    Hope that helps!
