acne so soon

I'm only 11 weeks and I'm getting acne on my face it's so annoying. I have been using a face wash but it won't go away! Anyone else have pregnancy acne? Have you found anything to get rid of it?

I've found the purpose bar from Johnson & Johnson works wonderful on my face ! It's only $4 too its in a blue box and they sell it at Walmart in the face cleaning section... Also you can try ivory soap it works wonderful too

I was told by the Dr not to use any acne creams or washes. I had very bad pregnancy acne, so I now wash with a mild soap like ivory twice a day and wet some cotton with peroxide and wipe my face with it and it cleared up my acne and has kept it away. Mine was severe too.

Yeah I have never had a problem with acne til I was about 6 weeks pregnant and I still get some acne but since I've started washing my face in the morning and at night and not wearing make up it has gotten a lot better. I still get a blemish once in a while but not as bad as it was.
