29th June 2005
What hasn't worked:
Proactiv (got LOTS of blackheads)
Tetracycline (did nothing, good nor bad)
Plexion (made my skin flaky and did not help--also smells bad)
BCPs in general (was doing well until I started taking Mircette 2 weeks ago)
salicylic acid products (huge cysts erupt with any formulation)
What USED to work, but doesn't seem to anymore:
Differin
clindamycin T lotion
BP
spironolactone (I had to go off it, but it did help)
I just started the baking soda scrub/mask thing a few days ago, and I seem to be clearing up. I'm also still using the BP and clindmycin during the day and Differin at night. I'm also on Mircette BCPs (they made the acne worse, but I need birth control!)
