Katy Perry gets paid millions of dollars to promote the Proactiv Solution skin-care line – and fortunately for her, she gets paid whether or not she’s got a zit-free face.

When the “California Gurls” singer headed to the gym on Monday in Los Angeles, photographers caught a glimpse of the singer’s pimple-packed face.

Although Perry tried to cover her mug with a baseball cap and aviator sunglasses, she couldn’t hide the nasty breakout around her mouth and chin.

On her way back from the gym, the 25-year-old stopped off at the skin-care shop Ole Henriksen Face/Body, reported the Daily Mail.

Since hitting it big two years ago with her hit single, “I Kissed a Girl,” the “Hot ‘N Cold” singer has been candid about her struggle with acne.

“I got acne at the start of my career -– it was a stressful time,” she told Cosmopolitan UK last May.

The star’s skin soon cleared up, and she was tapped as the new spokeswoman for Proactiv in January.

However, Perry still struggles with her skin.

“One [of my insecurities is] that I have acne scars,” she told the mag. “I’m self-conscious about that, so sometimes I wear too much makeup to cover them up.”

And sometimes, as her new photos show, she doesn’t wear enough.

In her Proactiv commercial, Perry said, “When you suffer with acne blemishes, you don’t feel very free.”

Poor Perry must feel like she’s on lockdown.
