Cystic acne and hormonal breakouts are two of those skin conditions that can be painful and embarrassing to deal with.
Never more so than if your job is in the public eye.
Australian singer, TV host, model, dancer, charity worker and beauty pageant titleholder Erin Holland recently opened up about her battle with the two skin conditions, which came about as a result of her IVF treatment.

Erin also revealed the Aussie skincare line that helped to transform her skin and banish the acne for good.
So what was the brand she swore and continues to swear by?
Step forward MX Skincare.
According to Erin, she never had issues with her skin until she started IVF treatment.
“I would always get a big pimple around the time of the month, but my issues started when I was going through IVF and pumping my body with all these different hormones,” she wrote on her blog.
Erin decided to “take control” of her skin and so discovered MX Skincare:
“I was pushing back at my body that was raging a war with itself,” she said.
When it comes to the products Erin loves, she said she religiously starts with the MX Foaming Cleanser ($49), before using MX’s Serum Vitamin B3 ($89) on her skin.
The cleanser has been formulated with brighening ingredients to provide a gentle but effective cleansing experience that leaves the skin feeling soft, supple and clean.
The vitamin B3 is perfect for rejuvenating, healing and protecting the skin.
Then, in the morning Erin also uses the Vitamin C serum, and at night she uses Vitamin A for collagen renewal.
Erin also swears by the MX Facial Oil ($79) to replenish, protect and regenerate the skin.
This oil’s light texture and quick absorption make it ideal for both day and night, and Erin said she found this step particularly important as the ingredients work “synergistically to calm and nourish the skin, making it ideal for a sensitive complexion”.
Finally, she loves the MX Moisture + ($89), which is a lightweight, high-performance day and night moisturiser containing powerful active ingredients.
She uses the MX Eye Cream ($69), which she puts on the skin surrounding the eyes to combat puffiness, dark circles and fine lines.
Since starting with MX Skincare, Erin has noticed her complexion improve hugely.
And she’s not alone in her love for the brand either.
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and many come complete with five-star ratings.
“It’s unlike any eye cream I have used before! I love that a little bit goes a long way,” one shopper wrote of the eye cream.
“This is the best moisturiser I have ever used on my sensitive skin it has taken away the redness around my nose area So soft on the skin and a little goes a long way,” another wrote of the moisturiser.
