start eating lol

my skin is very clear so when i break out with three or four random zits when my cycle is fucking me over the only thing that puts a stop to it is when I use proactiv or even a generic copy like acnefree or other similar cheaper products/store verison kits

ive tried proactiv for menstrual but it just burns and drys out my skin, it lessens the severity of it but it doesnt seem to get rid of it until my period is over.

invest in a nice paperbag for your head or go into hiding those days?

iroically my schedule seems to dictate i have to go out in public a lot during those days!

Wow I'm surprised no one answered her question.

Birth control usually works well for period related break outs or even break outs that get worse during/before your period. Just make sure they're the kind that help with that. Google will tell you.

Proactiv has a tendancy to cause cystic acne.

im never taking the pill. im not going to get blood clots or all the other side effects you have to go through.

Hmm... The pill doesn't really do those things that often.

In that case, you pretty much have to deal with the break outs. The only thing that really works is meds.

A lot of people find that benzoyl peroxide helps though.

isnt benzoyl the active ingredient im proactive?

i take doxyclen (sp?) during my cycle but it doesnt really do shit

maybe just look after your skin nicely those days and go with it? its not like youve got sever acne all over your face right?
no one REALLY cares, just don't pick them etc.

Proactiv's cleanser is a harsh scrub, which irritates the skin and can make acne worse. I've heard more bad than good about the stuff and have sworn it off myself.

The mask, however, is good.

I'm just telling you what I've heard though, it definitely works for some people.

Do you even get your period?

apparently leaving kittyradio.com helps..

Thank God I dont

i thought anorexics didn't get periods.

Be thankful that the only time you get a few spots is when your on. Get over it.

Well doxycycline has to be taken ALL the time, not just during your period. It takes 6 weeks of being taken daily to have any effect. If you only take it once a month, during your period, you'll just breed resistant bacteria. Not to mention that as a girl, in the UK, the guidelines say you should not be prescribed doxycycline as an anti-acne medication unless you are also on the contraceptive pill is it is tetragenic (ie mutates foetuses).

so if i dont take it everyday it will have the reverse effect?
