Hello everyone!
I decided to join after failed attempts of resolving my adult acne on my own.
I am a 29 year old female who is quite active. I've never had issues with my skin until about 6 mts ago.
I was on Deppo (birth control) since the age of 16 and I guess that was my secret weapon to acne. About a year ago my doctor told me that I needed to be taken off Depo and was forced to take a different type of birth control. As a result, 6 mts later my face took a turn for the worst.

I have always taken very good care of my skin. Used the best products on the market. Lancome, Channel, Elemis, DDF, etc. Received facials once a month yet now nothing is working!

I've recently started breaking out around my chin and forehead and after failed attempts at resolving this issue I turned to my doctor. My Derm recommended Obagi which costs around $500.00 for the kit. I decided against it and opted to try a far more aggressive approach. My Derm prescribed Differin 0.1% gel to be used in the evenings and Clindamycin Phosphate liquid during the daytime. Basically these 2 are supposed to clear up my issues but who knows. After using so many (expensive) products I've become quite skeptical.

I've been reviewing other peoples results and its about 50/50.
We'll have to see how this pans out.

G'luck, lots of good answers here. You just have to think of the questions and do a few searches to find them.
