Ugh breaking out :(

I'm 32 weeks and I don't know what it is but I'm breaking out on my face so bad I can't even look at myself in the mirror and im starting to feel very insecure about myself.  Please does anyone know what I can use to help this?

I have the same problem but i use a night cream that helps clear and stops spots from forming… i find the more i do the morning and night cleansing,  my skin just drys out and i still get spots! Its taken a little longer clearing my skin but my skin is clear now :)

You can find these items at most neighborhoodlike drugstores  (like Walgreens, CVS, or RiteAid if you're in the U.S.). They're usually in the beauty section next to the face washes and makeup. Clearasil and Neutrogena have some good Benzoyl Peroxide creams.

Two online options include:
https://store.acne.org/
and paulaschoice.com (also ebay or amazon).
You don't need a prescription.

Before getting pregnant I rarely had acne or problems with my skin but for the past 36 weeks my skin has been breaking out all over
Washing it everyday with ceraphil and using a face lotion with sunscreen has helped a lot  I also have added a charcoal face mask once a week

The general consensus amongst doctors is that benzoyl peroxide is safe during pregnancy. Try a gentle 2.5% or 5% strength one. Then spot treat with AHA on top of the BP. This worked miracles for me.

I'm 32 and my chin is breaking out so bad it is unconfortable! Cleaning my face morning and night follow by a light hydratation cream help me... I had acne really bad as a teenager and took medication. I was freaking out at first but with good hygiene it seem undercontrol but it is still apparent.

I've been breaking out really bad too. Washing with ivory soap really is helping clear it up. My friend had the same thing and said it'll clear up in a week. Its cleating up for sure.

Lemon juice or apple cider vinegar as a toner can help too
