Ive been suffering from blemish and acne on my forehead and cheeks since last week along with visible darkening.I've been using an abounding load of moisturizers prior to the breakout .However,I have stopped all of them but determined to continue the afore mentioned loreal night cream(I cannot say whether it is comedogenic but definetly moisturizing).Im approaching my monthly periods in a few days.I have experienced similar breakouts prior to my periods but quite rarely. Im an Indian of age 24.
