My Aczone/Differin Log

havent seen one of these yet, so i guess i'll post my progress.

skin type - combination
acne - moderate

started a regimen of aczone in the morning and differin at night about three weeks ago. i started out washing with cetaphil, but switched to clinique acne solutions about a week ago. im still recovering from the cetaphil! if you use it and youve been breaking out more often, i'd switch, because it sucks!

i havent had any new acne since going off cetaphil, and the aczone seems to be working. im not sure about the differin. i'll tell you in "2 to 3 months"

anyone know when this IB is supposed to come around?

How long should this regimen take to work?

I've never had horrible acne, but lately it's gotten worse (probably due to stress), so i went to the derm so he could prescribe me something, just to keep it under control. again, its moderate and not that bothersome. literally, he was in the room for less than a minute, and he gave me samples of aczone to use in the morning, differin for night, and erythrocin to take twice a day with meals. ive stuck to it for about a week now (that was on June 5th) and so far, no progress what so ever. i know your skin is supposed to get worse before it gets better, but it's frustrating because my mild acne problem has gone severe in a week! and my face is completely broken out with a bunch of whiteheads on my cheeks and around my jaw line.

first of all, should i get a new dermetologist? i find it a little wierd that he barely took any time to look at me.

second, how long should this regimen take to clear up?

differin + aczone

hey!
a week ago my derm prescribed my aczone (morning) and differin (night). i only have mild/moderate acne, and at first this system seemed to be working, but now its like my face has exploded! i went from like two zits to 7 in one night. he told me to wash with cetaphil, but before i was using clinique acne solutions and it worked better. can i go back to washing with the clinique or do i need to be more patient? i dont even want to leave the house!
