acne
"I had been taking oral contraceptive for about 6 years and using proactive; my acne was under control. About 1 year ago, I stopped taking the pill and my skin went absolutely crazy! I had horrible acne.. It was awful. I spent so much $ on OTC creams and washes with no improvement. Finally, I went to the dermatologist and she prescribed a 60 day oral antibiotic, adapelene 2% gel applied once daily, and cleanse with only cetephil. I used this combo as directed for about 2 months with a small amount of improvement. This is the routine that ended up giving me the best skin I've ever had: no antibiotic, adapelene 2x per day, cetephil make-up remover cloths, cetephil cleanser, benzoyl peroxide as spot treatment. Life is good!"
