Usually I've got pretty clear skin, but every month, around "that time" my face breaks out. It's really bad on my chin. I've tried everything! I think I'm allergic to the Benzoyl Peroxide b/c that stuff burns my face and turns it red. But I've tried other face creams, washing it often, I even heard a rumor about white toothpaste, which didn't work. Please, if anyone can help keep my monthly breakouts undercontrol, I'd appreciate it!

Proactive or Natures cure can help. Nature's cure is a face wash and vitamin supplement system you take and imo much much cheaper than proactive. Proactive is just a basic three step cleanser. Which what that means is facewash, toner, and lotion.
If you are gonna shell out the money for a three step program you could also try clinque's in that all their stuff is hypoallergenic and none of them have been tested on animals. I've used them before and they are pretty awesome.
Plain and simple the reason you get break outs is because of your hormones and stress. For the occasional acne that pops up my advice is to buy an Acne Spot treatement. I personally use Murad Acne Spot Treatment (it has 3.0% Sulfer) in it. I hope this helps ~

well, if you don't know why you're getting the breakouts, it's b/c of an increase in hormones. chances are you are putting on too much benzoyle peroxide.it is very strong.
i have an acne problem ALL the time, and used to go to the dermatologist for it. i tried so much freaking stuff, but i found that if i used to much benzoyle peroxide, my face got worse. so use the smallest amount possible, then slowly work your way up to more if you don't see improvement.
everyone is different when it comes to acne treatments. i have tried miracle products that worked on my friends, but made me worse. good luck, and don't be too concerned with the acne.

the SAME thing happens to me...EVERY TIME WITHOUT FAIL..
I use this Clean n Clear gel...it's the extra strength (or max strength) acne reduction like gel..i can't remember the exact name..but it comes in a small silver tube and it reduces the appearance of breakouts in ONE DAY. The tube says that it worked for 100% people tested...and I agree...it's worked for me so far! As far as PREVENTING the breakouts...yeah, hasn't happened yet. (It will someday!) I also try to wash my face w/ acne cleanser...then soap and water another time...just so my skin doesn't get used to the acne cleanser and breaks out when i don't use it. I hope that helped :)

Talk to a dermatologist, they have TONS of different options for gentle skin. Try Pro-Active, I heard that stuff is really good for all skin types
It's common for your face to break out aroud that time. My face breaks out about a week before my period. Thank God I'm on Seasonale birth controll, so that only happens once every three months.

Apparently honey works really well for breakouts. A dot of honey and then a band-aid. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile, and speeds healing. Supposedly works overnight.

SiWon is the face of SUJU As for BIGBANG... I actual haven't any clue. i don't believe of they extremely have a longtime "face", even with the undeniable fact that the nearest element to it really is probably TaeYang; he embodies what the team identity about the most.

Hormonal breakouts are hard to control but Saclycylic (sp?) acid gels and face washes might help.

Try cleansing with Salicylic acid. You can get it in a bar usually
at drug store.
You might also try witch hazel.
But, many cleansers may make your face red for few minutes.
