My "I stopped the DKR for 2 weeks and it came back" log

Well well well.... Hellllooooooo again acne.org. It's been a while since I've ventured into this sub forum.

Well, guess what? I'm back, for better or for worse!

I'm 22, had acne most of the time since I was 11. Been on everything under the sun, and finished roaccutane last april. Stupidly, I was trying to impress a girl and roaccutane was making my face red in the final few months so I stopped early... bad mistake.

Anyway... roaccutane pretty much cleared me up, I've had a few outbreaks since then but for the past few months I've had a clear face, maybe one spot a month. This is because I've been on the DKR.

Well, 2 months ago I decided to move from Scotland to Germany (Berlin, to be precise) and it's absolutely amazing out here. Love it to bits. The sun is shining, there's something new happened every day... And I thought it would be cool if I didn't have to put BP on my face twice a day. New start and all that. Bad idea.

I stopped 2 weeks ago, and for the first week it was awesome! No spots, nothing! Lots of sun, I thought i'd outgrown it!

Buuuut, it came back! I've had a clear face until 3 days ago, so now I'm back on the regimen!

I mean, not horrendous but still bloody sore... The one on my jawline is really sore, actually.

So, here's hoping Dans BP (and, when I'm finished that, Cordes BP) clears me back up!

If anything, it shows that BP does work, though.

How do I apply Panoxyl W 10?

Went to the Apoteke and bought myself Panoxyl W 10, which I believe is a wash emulsion and it's meant to be great, but I'm not sure how to apply it.

Do I apply it to my face like a face wash i.e with water, or do I apply it do a dry face? I know I have to wash it off after 2mins, it's just the applying part I'm really unsure about!

Thanks a bunch, hope someone can help me!!

Worried about not being able to use Dans BP any more - Moved to Germany

My regimen is as follows:

Morning and night, I apply half a pump of Dans Bp to my face after cleaning, and 10mins later I add moisturiser mixed with Emu Oil.

I've been clear for ages now with this regmin, but when I stopped using BP about 2 months ago, all my spots came back. Now that I'm back on it, they've all gone and my skin is looking great.

I've moved to Berlin now though (from Scotland) and I've just discovered that, upon making my order for more BP, there isn't any shipping to Germany. Shit

What to do? I've read that they sell BP in stores, but aren't they just in small tubes? Won't it cost me an absolute fortune to cover my face in the equivalent of half a pump of BP twice a day?

I'm rather worried as I'm so much happier using Dans BP, and really don't want to be in a position where it's going to cost me a fortune.

Any tips/advice? All are welcome!

Danke

I think it really works!!

I posted here a while ago, my acne was mild/moderate and every spot I had turned into a whitehead and was painful.

I ended up paying money to go on accutane and don't regret it for a minute. I had been taking antibiotics for around 7yrs with no success, and was fobbed off every time I went to the doctor with "new" tablets. Hm. They had my best interests at heart I think as they were very nice, just nothing was working. So I went on accutane.

Cleared me up, no spots, smooth skin.

Fast forward to around 3 months ago and my spots started coming back (had only been off accutane for 5-6 months). It wasn't a bad outbreak but it was consistent. New spot every day etc.

So in a mad panic one day, I checked my bathroom cabinet and found a bottle of the acne.org BP cream which i'd bought a while ago "just incase". I slapped it on my face (two pumps) and left it there. Did this for a week before it became so unbearable... My face was red and drying, i looked like I was burning up!

Bought Eucerin moisturiser and slapped it on my face day and night after washing (didn't use any BP at this time) until everything had calmed down, and then started the BP again at half a pump morning and night.

This worked great, and stopped my spots in their tracks! I don't want to hail it as the 100% success yet, because I reckon my spots are hormonal but at the moment I haven't had a spot since starting on BP, bar the first day or two. The only thing bothering me on the odd day is a little redness!

Fast forward a few weeks and I decided to get some AHA+. It's awesome. I'm not overstating this fact, my skin looks pretty much as good as it did on accutane (which is VERY good). It's awesome stuff.

So now I'm using either half a pump of BP in the morning and aha+ or JUST aha+, and at night half a pump of BP and aha+. I don't think i'll need to use any more than the half pump, nor do I want to.

Seriously, if anyone out there is at their wits end, try this acne.org regimen. I do personally feel that the accutane was an absolute must in me getting to this point (it calmed my spots down so much, and now as a result don't get NEARLY as much as I used to) but with the addition of Dans BP and aha+, i'm getting no spots! Absolutely superb!

I know trying new medication for spots is often turbulent and stressful, and i'm THE most cynical person when it comes to trying things for spots that aren't from the doctor but for me, this works.

Cheers, Dan & co!

How long does Dans BP last?

I've just started using the 8oz BP from Dans store and it's great.

Ideally I'd order a 16oz bottle but custom charges have put me right off (i'm from the UK).

How long does the 8oz bottle last? I'm not sure I can afford to buy it every month, including shipping, if it lasts only a month or less.

If anyone could advise, that would be great!

I'm sorry if this has been covered to death but it's really annoying finding something that might just work, and then discovering it could cost a fortune to keep up because of shipping/tax etc

Cheers folks!
