PCOS and Acne

Kaitlyn

I have serious acne problems and have for years and I can't seem to get rid of it. I was diagnosed with PCOS almost 2 years ago. I long for clear skin and I've tried so hard, but nothing works. Right now my daily routine is cleansing with simple micellar water when I wake up followed by a clindamyacin pledgette. After that dries I use an ELF brand blemish control primer. I've been wearing very little makeup trying to help the process along even more. So I use a concealer to cover my bad spots and an all over tinted moisturizer, followed by a powder to combat oil. I am also on 100 mg of spirinalactone daily. When I get home from work I use a gentle makeup remover, simple micellar water to cleanse after that, and then a simple moisturizer as well. Every 3 days I use tretinoan cream and also Neutrogena acne stress control.

I have seen improvements with this regimen, but I'm no where close to where I want to be. Please tell me what has worked for you or any advice that you have. I'm seeing my dermatologist in 3 weeks.

Any information you have would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
