After getting off my birth control pill, my acne is exploding. how can i mitigate this ?

Acne: The birth control pills most probably helped to keep your hormonal balance and prevented the acne. You could go back to the birth control pills. Also decrease the use of moisturizers in your skin. If you can buy witch hazel, this will work as an astringent and dry your face a little more. Consult also with a dermatologist. Hope this helps.
