so about two weeks ago i switiched to a new regimen, using a mixture of apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil for a face wash, epsom salt scrubs in the morning, jojoba oil as a moisturizer during the day and at night i apply epsom salt dissolved in water and leave it on all night. I have a bunch of comedones, some are white heads and some have black heads. Ever since i have started this regimen my comedones have been bursting into zits one after the other. I think this regimen has helped my skin already, it seems to be cleaning my pores very nicely, my black nose pores are getting smaller and way less black.. So are my comedones turning into zits a good thing? Is this what comedones normally do when they are leaving? will they eventually all burst and then i will be acne free? Or is this a sign that i am doing something wrong?
Please help guys

bump.
i want to know the answer to this aswell.
got the same problem.

Well if by zits you mean the kind with a white head (the ready-to-pop kind) then this is a very good sign. If they're turning into cysts or something then it isn't! I experienced this same kind of "purge" when I started my regimen and after happily popping the zits that came up all I've got are red marks...which are annoying but they will fade!

I'm curious about this also. I have a number of small, hard, closed comedones that seem to be working their way to the surface since I started exfoliating and scrubbing hard last week. I will let you know if it turns out that I've just inflamed myself needlessly, or if I clear up a bit when they're gone.

what product do u use to scrub/exfoliate> i have a few stubborn closed comedones that won't budge.
