YES!  Your body is going thru sooo many changes, especially hormonal!  Some women get lucky and have the best skin of their lives.  Others,  not so lucky, get teenager skin.  Me?  I have SUPER dry skin on my face, I can even peel it!  Can you believe that?  I use Pond's and it's the only thing that has helped.  Talk to your doctor about it or do the research before you start using anything because there are some acne meds that you shouldn't use.
