My acne started when i was 18 and i am 24 now. My doctor said I have high prolactin and low thyroid but there is nothing else showing in my hormone test. I noticed my acne started when I went off BCP.

I was using retin-a for years and i got sick of using chemicals so i have been treating my skin naturally. It's been almost 2 months being off of retin a for my second try and my skin is better than it's been in years... (better than several months ago when i tried to get off retin a.....scarring and everything..) but I am noticing i ONLY break out a week before my period now.

I want to take a natural supplement. Anyone know which is the best one for the acne i describe? I have heard some people get depressed taking Vitex and evening primrose oil... That scares me a bit... I do not want to do more harm than good as i am HAPPY with how clear my skin is 2.5 weeks of the month...

Saw Palmetto works well for me, along with Vitex (chaste berry) in a tea. Evening Primrose Oil did not help me and possibly made my skin worse. I did not experience depression with any of these supplements.
