Of late i have had these bumps appear on my forehead wich eventually tunred into whiteheads and pustules. After a year of tryin Dermalogica and currently dermalogica and decleor, i am almost giving up hope. This could also be due to my antibiotic one of which may be the cause of acne. However, i was wondering if you guys can suggest a good treatment or rememedy for me. Some magic cream or regime i should acquire ?
I am 25 and never had pimple all these years and its depressing at this age and time !!
Benzyol peroxide, Retin A, Salycilic Acid... please advise.
I have a normal to combination skin.

Wow ... sounds like you've tried a lot! However, have you considered that perhaps the cause of your break-outs might be from the hair products that you may be using? Hairspray, waxy products, etc. can also cause pimples. Something to consider.
Also, you may want to add a gentle exfoliant to your skincare regeime. This will remove dead skin cells, that trap oil, dirt, hairspray, etc. I would recommend Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant or Phytomer Peeling Vegetable Enzyme Masque. Very gentle, though effective!
Magda has mentioned to me that you may have a similar problem which she herself experienced a few years ago. That being a reaction to dairy products. Perhaps you might ask your doctor or dermatologist about this possibility. In the meantime, I recommend increasing your water intake; this will help flush toxins out of your skin, boost hydration, and clear skin. |

I know how it feels when there is a sudden breakout.
I had the same problem. After I use DDF's Blemish Foaming Cleanser, most of my blemishes cleared out. May be you can try that.
Hope this helps:P |

How about a local aesthetician? Symptoms can confusing, we all call breakouts "acne" when other things such as milla's (I don't how to spell it or pronounce it:( ) reaction to different laundry products, hives etc. If it is indeed acne, EDS recommended the Murad line, which has helped substantially. Also, "Devina's mask", not sold at EDS, helped too. (Our 16 yo son has acne.)
Casper's Mum hit the nail on the head for my forehead dryness. It was from the hair spray I was using...
Good luck. Keep posting especially if you try products, good or bad.
