Re: I Give up! What do I do for hormonal acne?

Amby, I have what I think is hormonal acne as well. What helped the most, for me, was birth control. It took 3 months for it to kick in and start helping my acne but it was well worth it. My chin always cleared up on birth control. I did recently go off the b/c so I did experience a breakout from that. But it's slowly getting better. There's always something lingering on my chin though.

I've been eating alot of garlic which I strongly believe has helped improve my skin. There was even a posting on garlic and it's benefits with acne. It's kind of gross to eat raw garlic but it's has really been helpful. A good tip is to eat a clove or two with a cucumber it helps mask the scent.
