Okay so heres my story,

Growing up in my teens I've never really had bad acne, breakouts here and there but nothing crazy. I decided to give birth control a try only for my acne, (Tri-Sprintec), I had a bad breakout the first month and then my body adjusted to it and it cleared up. After the three months I decided to stop BCP after 3 months because I didnt want my body to be dependent on it for clear skin. So I stopped without thinking that there might be side effects..

After a good 1-2 months, my cheeks flared up! I have bumps under my cheeks, and its been so horrible that its starting to bring me down. I have done tons of research and decided to give Vitex a try as well as Red Clover (recommended by a friend), and also Tegreen and ProBio Supplements in order to balance my hormones out back to normal. I regret ever taking BCP, I know it messed up my hormones big-time.

 

Aside from all that thats been happening, I drink tons of water, began drinking green tea and spearmint tea, eat tons of veggies and fruits w/ chia and flax seeds.& I've been TRYING to get good sleep!

 

Any advice ? Am I balancing my hormones in any way? Also I am 19.

Seriously, save your money on over the counter products or even home remidies! I'm 36 now with 2 kids, 3 years ago my face started breaking out, around the right cheek mainly. Most doctors said its hormonal. I didn't want to try the pill, but went for the Mirena IUD, thinking it may help with its mild release of hormone. So i tried ever product (nothing worked). Now, less than 4 weeks ago, I started a diet (hcg drops) & completley stopped Carbs & anything with Sugars and followed the diet stricktly. I've lost a little bit (not what they've promised) but my Acne is gone & my face has miraculously transformed!!!!! Its unreal,but i think it was my Icecream habbit!! I had ice cream every nighy without fail! & ate bread daily. My face has zero pimples, zero keratin zits (little white yukkies) nothing now..zilch!! I just use a medicated cheapo bar of soap! & im not even worried about what foundation i should be using like i used to. Very low Carb, Zero sugar ...try it..i'm not obese at all btw..just had 4-5 stubborn kilos..its worth the try..& i don't think its the drops..bit if acne stays with the diet..then its the drops...good luck
