I used to be very spotty between the ages of 19 and 25 but for the last 5 years it suddenly cleared up. I didn't do anything to try and get rid of it but it just seemed to sort itself out.

Out of nowhere, 5 years later it has returned. It's making me pretty miserable because I don't look the way I look and even with make up on you can still see them. They're all over my forehead and jaw line. It isn't cystic acne it's just big spots. I started taking B12 shots and read on MN that it they can cause acne but I needed the B12 so just put up with it. However, I haven't had a shot now for 3 weeks and I'm still getting new spots every day.

Does anyone know the best thing for me to use to clear this up?

Paula's Choice Pore Normalising cleanser and 2% BHA liquid exfoliant. I suffered acne throughout my teenage years and all through my twenties. Within two weeks of using these products it cleared up and has not come back. I have now been using them for 6 months. Pricey but worth it and they last a while so the cost is spread out.

(Also, I would add that I have seen other posters sings the praises of Paula's Choice on similiar threads so I think quite a lot of people have found success with it!)
