Hey Girls...
This is not really about TTC or anything, but with having PCOS, I have massively bad acne and nothing seems to clear it. My face just erupts every day. Ew. Anyone with PCOS and acne have any good remedies?

Just found this, I love the cleansing cream scrub, also have PCOS and acne (what a pain!)
I did find that sometimes my skin was a bit sensitive because of the products though. I quite like that morning bust stuff by.. clean & clear is it? |

I think it makes it 10 times worse that I'm detoxing (having started weightwatchers) - My skin is really taking a beating.
Grr Will definately get some Avon stuff when I have some $$$ |

Avon stuff is only $6 a item for the clear skin range or they do 2 for $12.
I use the double action cleanser and astringent lotion daily and have also brought the day and night moisturiser as sometimes the product dries your skin a wee bit. I used the astringent lotion about 5 times a day for the first week as it really cleared it up and now just morning and night but only cleanse at night. |

Evening primrose oil. You get it in capsule form. Only thing that helped me with acne.
Still not as much as a bother as facial hair to me. Going to get laser treatments once I get the courage. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

If you are not TTC, then I would recommend Roaccutane. You absolutely cannot take it if trying to have a baby, as it causes birth defects, but clears the skin and removes scarring like nothing else!
I have been prescribed it twice in my life- once when I was 15 and again at about 20. It is a high dose of Vitamin A I think, and you have to see a dermatologist to be prescribed it....would only recommend if you are really desperate! ------------- TTC #1 2005-2009 (PCOS) Clomid x 4 IVF #1-BFP!
