I use NYX HD Studio Photogenic concealer. It comes in tons of different shades but many of them are not available in drugstores or even Ulta. I found the shade that works for me at a dedicated NYX store at a mall that is not close to where I live. I had to order more through Ulta. After reading this thread I went to Walgreens and got the same concealer in yellow to neutralize the blue more but I have not tried it yet. I will look at the Revlon Photoready the next time I am at Ulta. |

Medication Induced/Hormonal Acne
I'm sharing this part just for reference, not to discuss medication/medical issues:
Last January, my GYN started me on cyclic progesterone, which I take 10 days/cycle. Around February/early March, I started having increased breakout on my skin. At first it was just a few whitehead recurring in the same area. However, they kept coming back no matter what I did, and I'm usually pretty breakout free (other than the occasional blemish). When I saw my GYN over the summer, he confirmed that the progesterone could be a cause. I bought OTC Differen, and that did seem to help at first. But the problem is that every time it gets better, it seems to get worse again. For some reason, it has gotten MUCH worse over the past several weeks! It also has evolved from whiteheads to more cystic type acne. It's still mostly localized to my chin (thank goodness for that!) but a much larger patch. Now I'm worried about scarring and other issues. So has anyone had luck treating hormonal acne on their own? I think I'm going to try discontinuing the progesterone (it wasn't helping much anyway), but in the meantime, I'm looking for other solutions. I could go to a dermatologist but would prefer to manage it on my own if possible. Thank you!

Thanks zoegirl. I definitely don't want to use anything with Benzoyl Peroxide for various reason. I actually use products that contain the other ingredients (eg, AHAs, BHAs), but I would consider trying one of the products.
