I have cystic acne during pregnancy. I know what your going through. Make a paste out of Epsom salt, baking soda and water. Put it on your face and let it dry. Best thing ever. It has helped so much

It took months for me to get my color back and even still it's not all the way back but the dark spots I got on my face went away just had to keep up with my skin. In some cases you go right back to normal and in some cases you won't I'm glade I'm getting my color and everything back even tho it took almost a year

Clanique has a line that helps me out a lot , I was told not to use proactive by my doctor. I suffered with pregnancy mask last pregnancy and I know exactly how you feel I use to cry all the time but I'm 5 months in and no acne or black head troubles at all, last pregnancy i made it to 3 months before i got ugly ( I got dark ,eczema && acne )
