Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

You may be expecting to much too soon. You have a fluctuation in your hormones and there is no telling what you have by way of diet and environment or even stress factors and general health. Since I have had years of cosmetic experience I can tell you that there are some products that will help you look better but slathering on cover creams can do more harm than good. There are treatments for Acne that work very well on seriously troubled skin...you may have seen the informercial for the "P" product? This will help down the line but for right now your body is still producing the oils in response to your changes in hormones from the drop off of your birthcontrol pills. CONTACT your GP or whomever prescribed the birthcontrol and explain the situation. He or she will likely tell you to come in for a shot of Erythramyacine or similar antibiotic.
Regardless, you will need to clean your skin a couple times a day and use alphahydroxy to keep the skin free from excess oil. If you have a pimple or several that have already erupted and are forming scabs, do not pick at them but use triple antibiotic ointment on just those spots to help sluff off the dry stuff and let the fresh skin under come up faster. ONE more thing! If you plan on wearing makeup over these spots, rub the same antibiotic ointment into the wounds to seal off the tissue from the makeup you undoubtedly will apply. Pat it on gently, do not rub it in and lightly powder to set the makeup for the night. When you return home, wash it off, and reapply alpha-hydroxy cream or lotion. Good Luck.

Well, Fast I'm not sure of how to get rid of that quick! You can hide it with a powder cover up close to the same shade as your skin. The reason I say powder is because if you use liquid it will just make the acne worse. A way to get rid of acne is don't pick at it. Wait until the white heads come out so you can see them, then pop them. After you have done this clean your face with in a circular motion, going up. Then clean with a little bit of alcohol,once every two or three weeks, lightly. When cleaning with the alcohol clean going up. When I say a little bit I mean just a very little, on a cotton ball. Some people make the mistake and put too much on the cotton ball and get it so strong that it causes their eyes and nose to water and it smells. After you clean your face with the cotton ball look at the cotton ball and you will freak out over how much dirt is actually on your face. Like I said at the beginning a method to work as quick as you want I can't possibly tell you and I if there is one that works that quick I would like to know it!!!

I used to be on birth control myself, but it can really mess with your hormones in a bad way (as you are finding) I can help you heal the acne and get your skin back to great shape, I think it would also be good for you to re-balance your female hormones with all natural mineral supplements. I am taking them now and they have worked wonders! I was even cured of depression because the depression was caused by female hormones (think PMS all the time). The supplements are inexpensive, easy to take and have no negative side effects.

email me for more info, Id love to help!

i accually just got birth control specifically for acne! it was the birth control that was keepin your face as clear as it was. u should go back on it for the same results. ummm, i like the clean and clear advantage stuff... use it like 3 times a day and i swear it clears it up in a few days with no side effects! dont use benzoyl peroxide cause it might make your face really red and itchy as a side effect. good luck! <3

wash ur face with Celeteque (a facial wash).. it leaves your skin soft and smooth. then after that, ask ur derma what kind of ointments ur going to use. i used a cream that dries the affected area and the other one is an anti-bacterial. it is effective coz i lost my acne in juts 2 weeks
