How are you treating hormonal acne?

Question

I had a little before I was pregnant but it has gotten worse now. I'm scared to use the strong creams I used before. I've been looking into Michael Todd because they claim to be natural, but their kind of pricey so idk. I've been washing my face 2/3 times a day too.
What do you guys use or recommend?

Answer

I've been mixing tea tree oil with my moisturizer a few days a week and that has been helping. I've used it for hormonal acne for a few years and I love it. If you can get past the smell it may be worth a try.

Answer

Coconut oil has really been helping my skin. Also keeping hydrated, but I still break out and just try to be patient because it's not going to change until after pregnancy it seems

Answer

I never got acne prior to pregnancy, but did all my first trimester. Other than keeping my face washed, I didn't do anything because I figured since it was all due to hormones it was kind of pointless. Second trimester came, bye bye acne.

Answer

I'm not really doing anything. I know it'll all be over when my pregnancy is over. I just make it an extra point to wash my make up off really well and keep my face as clean as I can. I use Cetaphil face wash.

Answer

I had to stop wearing make up and only wash with water. I use cetiphil lotion about once a week but everything else causes my face to break out or be sensitive.

Answer

Talk to your obgyn or midwife the should be able to prescribe something for you that is safe
