Hello!

Never kept a log before but it seems like I finally have a discipline to do one. The pimples hurt and I'm aiming to clear this before I have to go to work next year and actually wear make-up (Would like to go as minimally without as possible), Also don't really want to e put on accutane if it can be helped.

Background: Acne is mostly on forehead and on the chin area. I've had the same ongoing problem since 15 but it has recently flared up with a vengeance after calming down between the ages 18-22. I was on the acne.org regimen when I was younger but found it kinda harsh. It helped keep the acne at bay but never cured it.

Type of Skin: Oily and Sensitive

Type of acne: Occasionally cystic. Mostly painful pustules. I think I have blackheads/whiteheads but I can never really tell. Hormonal in that I break out before my period particularly badly.

What I have tried with varying degrees of success :Acne.org (okay) Clinique line (I think the toner/fashwash made me break out)

Diet: Normal with a inclination towards sugar that's decreased through the years

After an unsuccessful switch to the clinique line I've decided to keep a routine that worked for me before, a gradual diet change and using natural products to see how we go. If this doesn't really improve in a month I'm seeing a dermatologist.
