Hi there! I'm new here )

I will present myself. My name is Allie, i'm a 25 years old girl from Canada. I never had acne when i was a teenager (maybe just one spot once a month).

When i was 19, i suffered a miscarriage. After this event, i had terrible acne. My face was so oily, i had spot everywhere. It's was horrible. I was so depressed ; i was litterally hiding the whole time i had this. I was all day on my computer searching for a miracle treatment. I cried a lot... I tried many product but nothing seem to work. My doctor prescribed me Accutane. I did a first round , but my doctor gave me a low dose, so i did a relapse 6 months after. I did another course, this time with the appropriate dose, and i was clear for 5 years after that. I had beautiful skin. Awww , i miss this time lol )

In last september, i quit taking the birth control to make a baby. I had a breakout in october, i was so sad. But the breakout stopped after 4 weeks. I was pregnant in november, and until february, i had beautiful skin.

But when i hit the second trimester, i started to breakout, mostly on my jaws. I had (and have) spots between my eyebrows (??) and all around my mouth (jaws, chin, below the nose...) that make me think it's the hormones.

Since i started to breakout, i tried many things. New skincare (Avene), a oil free moisturizer and benzoyl peroxide. I did it one time per day (before i go to bed). But things got worse weeks by weeks ( I started using Clindets, who is Clindamycin lotion. My skin was so irritated by this, like litterally burning.. I stopped taking this after 2 weeks.

I went to my doctor, who prescribed me oral erythromycin. It's been 2 weeks, and zero improvement. I called the pharmacist, who told me the erythromycin is most likely to don't work because of the resistance!!

I don't have any hope now...

So i started since yesterday to clean my face twice a day, and to apply the Dan's BP. Hope it's will work.

I'm grateful, i will have a wonderful baby boy in august, but i just want to feel more confident in my pregnancy. The acne make me so self-conscious, it's annoying!

I will post some update of my progress with my new routine. I hope it's will work for me!

Thank you for reading this, hope your journey will be good too )
