I am a 18 year old female who in the past 4 months or so has broken out very badly, I had no idea what caused it at first and had tried all sorts of things like cutting things out of my diet, becoming vegan, water fasting and the list goes on... none of these things worked and I realised that my acne is most likely down to hormones. So far i'm on day 11 of Yasmin and i've only had one tiny pimple in that time and everything else is calming down, i'm really hopeful as i've read its cleared a lot of people up.
Skincare routine as follows:
AM-
Splash of water
Moisturizer
PM-
Wash face with simple face wash
AHA 8% gel (every other day)
Wait 30 minutes then moisturize
Day 12- Not a lot new to report, i don't want to add pictures just yet but my acne is on my cheeks/jawline only, luckily my forehead, nose and chin are completely clear. My right cheek is clearing up a lot, I just have hyperpigmentation which has faded a lot this past week or so, I don't think this is because of Yasmin but probably because of the AHA gel. My left cheek is pretty bad but hoping it clears up soon.
