[quote=Anonymous]I've had acne since age 11 or 12.  I did a course of Accutane in my mid 20s which worked until I got pregnant a few years later.  Then the acne came back again full force.  Here is what finally worked for me.  It's a combination of 3 things.  1) A good BCP- I take a generic version of Yaz.  2)  Tretinoin.  The first 3 months are pretty awful as your skin purges all of the crap that it trapped in it.  After that, my skin has looked nearly flawless.  3)  I took Doxyclycline for 5-6 months and now use Clindamycin topically.  I think each of these 3 things has helped contribute to my clear skin.  Occasionally I get a pimple but it goes away in a day or two after applying Tretinoin.  Normally I would get a cyst that last 3 weeks from start to finish.  The products I use on my face are not as important as the 2 things I wrote about before.  I use Neutrogena Gentle Face Cleanser (or something like that) and in the winter, I use Dermalogica's Intensive Moisture Balance to combat the dry skin that comes with using Tretinoin.[/quote]
