  FWIW my skin was really bad after having kids and I still get break outs, but I feel it has started to improve the last 6 months ... my littlest is THREE! So I think it may have been part hormones, but other factors too. The water here doesn't help nor does the dryness. I switched to Dr Brommers for washing my face because it is natural. It played a part I think. I also tried switching my general skin care and make-up. A couple of beauticians have told me in the recent past, that the longer you use the same brand of skin care and make-up the less compatible it becomes. Contrary to what I had always believed. So I changed brands in December and that also seemed to have helped. I hope you can find something that works for you.

  It wouldn't hurt to go to a dermatologist. 皮膚科 hifu . A friend of mine had awful acne in her youth and would get prescribed medication. She was also prescribed different lotions and toners. I know she was worried about scarring back then, but the products must have helped because you can't tell anymore. She also doesn't wear foundation or anything. Sorry, I'm not much help. I have been having terrible breakouts but I just try not to care. Keep a clean face, thats about it.

  I was told by my sensei that drug store product in Japan are as good as expensive brands. I have always loved any cosmetic products in Japan and have changed many times. How about trying a good facial massage? I recommend Menard? I once had some acne which got lot better after two sessions of Menard facial message. They also sell products which is really wonderful, a little expensive though.

  It sounds like your acne is hormone related, but I've heard & seen from personal experience that sugar & dairy cause breakouts. Another thing you could try is a multivitamin with zinc.

  @saitama I'm hoping mine gets better too! I find that it comes and goes, but has definitely been worse since having my son than it was after my daughter, so I'm sure it's just some kind of crazy hormone related thing. I actually ordered some stuff from Australia and it seems to be working a little better so fingers crossed I see improvement.

  I also have skin problems, so I go to a skin clinic one per month for a chemical peeling. Depending on the clinic it can be priced from 3,000 to about 10,000 Yen. Unfortunately insurance doesn’t cover it but it really helps clean up my skin.

  I personally use korean skincare products. They aren't hyped for nothing. Shin-Okubo is the best place in Tokyo to look for some. I use Nature Republic's Aloe Vera Gel and it did magic to my skin.
