Since I went off the pill about a year ago, I have terrible acne. not a lot of it but maybe like one zit at a time - except they are very painful and very noticeable (very red). I mostly get them along my jawline, hairline, and lately, my upper lip. I can't take any of the hardcore prescription stuff because I am hoping to get pregnant. I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for an OTC topical treatment - I used to have something like I would put on and it really helped to shrink them. Can't remember what it was of course. I have access to a Sephora and of course regular drug store type brands.

    I'm trying two new things: Burt's Bees Herbal Stick (has tea tree oil in it) and real Korean BB cream (mostly to lighten up acne scars). I have heard raves on both products, though not specifically from PCOSers.

    While I was TTC I used Kiss My Face products, which were decent.
