I am 47 and seem to have developed worse acne in the past 6 months. I've tried the Clinique anti blemish solutions system, but whatever I do use and do not use, the problem remains. I've observed during the last two menstrual cycles that I get two big spots during ovulation (just after the cycle ends). These are mainly on my cheeks and take at least a week to heal, and then leave dark scars (I'm olive skinned). I had some on my forehead but the culprits are always on my cheeks. My dr prescribed benzoyl peroxide 2.5%. I feel very depressed when I het these breakouts and use Clinique oil free foundation to hide these blemishes. I don't have a lot of money to spend trying different meds and treatments. So what would be the best way to keep this problem under control? My menstrual cycles are VERY regular and precise. I do not suffer from excess body hair, etc.
