Acne

So for the last 15/20 years I've taken evening primrose to help with my spots, now I'm ttc I've come off it as read it's not great but my spots are starting to get really bad again. I'm 38 so really shouldn't be getting acne/backne, has anybody tried/used anything else that's safe to take while ttc?

Evening primrose is still safe to use up until ovulation (and in fact lots of ladies on here use it for ewcm) so I'd get back on it for part relief at least!

If your GP can prescribe you some Duac then that's helped me a lot with acne.

@Juno231 I don't know when I'm ovulating 🙈 I had my implant out in August and things haven't returned to normal yet but didn't want to damage my chances by taking it. I might take for the first 10 days to play it safe

@FriedEggOnToast and @ShalomToYouJackie thank you, problem is it's not just on my face I get spots on my chest and back but don't when I'm taking evening primrose. I've tried every cream and wash going, I'd hoped I'd grown out if it 🤣
