They are mostly small bumps, but some are larger and quite gross. I have used M.A.C. makeup forever, so there has been no change there. I use foaming Noxema to cleanse, and use Clinique dramatically different moisturizer.

You should always always cleanse, tone and moisturize especially before applying any makeup because makeup buildup is what clogs your pores. Doing these steps twice a day and everyday keeps your face free of dirt, oil and other debris. This is what I use to cleanse my face. http://cgarcia1.qbeautyzone.com/products/product.aspx?itemno=E5018

You should also make sure the products on your face say noncomedogenic/nonacnegenic (means won't clog pores and won't promote acne).

There are a few options to choose from in helping to get clear skin. First, you can go to a dermatologist, but what they do is get you hooked on the prescriptions they are educated on & they don't really help you solve the problem. I know this because I went to one for years & all I received were more prescriptions & lots of money spent. 2 Different doctors & my stubborn sister is doing the same thing.
Second option is to work with a good aesthetician. I know this because I was so frustrated w/ the lack of info out there that I went to aesthetics school to learn what I need to do to clear my own skin. Now I share the knowledge w/ others. There is no perfect solution to acne- what works for one may not work for another. This has a lot to do w/ body chemistry & what your skin needs. Start getting regular facials- they are worth the money! You can even go to a beauty school if you need to watch your finances.
One of the best solutions I have found lately is baking soda. Yep, that simple, make a paste-not runny, just thick enough that is won't slide off your face, rub a bit to exfoliate & then let it dry, rinse off w/ warm water. This helps to deep cleanse & keeps your skin ph balanced. One cause of acne is an unbalanced acid mantle on your skin.
Cetaphil is a great gentle cleanser to use twice daily. Try cleansing twice at night- first time removes dirt & make-up, second cleanses deeper. Get a better moisturizer- you are wasting your money on Clinique because there is nothing special about it. If you are willing to spend the money, get Murad. They have excellent products.
Skin continues to change at certain times in our lives. Yours is just changing right now.

Minor acne changes can be credited to hygene, but a significant change in acne is most always due to a change in hormones. I'm 19 and struggled with acne for my entire life until I began taking birth control, which regulated my hormones, and after one month, I saw a huge improvement, and by 3 months, my skin was perfect.
See a dermatologist. If topical creams and washes don't work, like in my situation, the derm will reccomend pills to take. In my opinion, don't mess with the acne pills. Just go on birth control.

I like the Dove Beauty Bar, wash twice a day rinsing very well then an astringent. Exfoliate with a loofah face pad once a week and drink tons of water. Also take a multiple vitamin for women and a multiple mineral supplement. Most adult acne is an outer symptom of an inner problem, like a vitamin or mineral deficiency. As we get older our hormones, body, diets and metabolism change, causing deficiencies where there were none. Take supplements and drink as much water as you can and keep your face clean.

do you sleep past 11pm? at times sleeping late and burning the midnight oil causes that as well. Since your face have lots of acne, maybe you can switch your moisturizer " for oily skin" this way, the moisturizer is not too "oily". Wash you face at noon also, this might help minimized it and eating less oily food and drink lots of water. Make sure you use also astringent after washing your face to close the pores, this way less dirt can enter your face. If all those doesnt work, than you might need to consult the derma. hope this helps.

A dermatologist can be of help. Sometimes, the body starts reacting differently to products, even when you've used them for a long time; hormone changes are sometimes a culprit. Stress may also be a factor. (Was for me when I went back to school, as I had acne again in my mid-30s for the first time since high school.) Again, a doctor can help unravel this with you. Take care, and good luck!

Some food are aggravating your acne problem especially oily foods. I suggest you avoid eating something which has oil in it. Chocolates are a culprit, too, so watch out your diet. Good hygiene on your face and skin is very important, but in cases like that a visit to a dermatologist will help you a lot.

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...

The small bumps are probably oil that had built up. I have something similar and I went to see a dermatologist. He recommend laying off using moisturizer and that worked. I still have some small bumps, guess they are here to stay. So yes, you need help and it sounds to me that you need to make an appointment with a dermatologist.
