So I wanted to start a log just so in the future, when my skin is (hopefully) cleared up a bit, I can look back and see what I went through haha
A little backround on my skin, I've almost never dealt with actual pimples or cysts, but I have extremely oily skin. Tons of blackheads, whiteheads and just bumps. I have a problem with picking my skin, and I love messing with my blackheads as gross as that sounds haha. My main problem areas are my T-Zone. Whiteheads looooove to form on my forehead right between my eyes, it looks gross! I have tons of blackheads on my nose and I have very large cheek pores.
I dread going out in the sun because everyone can see all the gross bumps in my skin. On Saturday, Oct 31, 2009 my mom saw my skin and literally gasped because she'd never seen it right under light and she was able to see all the bumps...she let me order it on Sunday and I recieved the three steps on Tuesday! smile.gif

Day 1-2

I started at night, because I recieved my products in the afternoon and I was just so excited to start! No redness at all, no drying.

Day 3

Ahhh my face was burning on this day. My cheeks were hot to the touch all day as well. I almost considered already stopping the regimen because of how much my face burned. Redness beginning to form. The stinging, caused my the moisturizer, was really bothering me on this day.

Day 4

I realized that the burning was from me not putting the BP and moisturizer gentle enough. I applied everything very gentley, and only experienced minor burning. My face was BRIGHT PINK the whole day, even after foundation and concealer! I was so embarassed and self-concious I wanted to cry. My neck is beige and my face was bright pink, bumpy, and cakey looking since I applied concealer over my now-flaking skin. I just looked awful and felt awful. I noticed right before bed, I was beginning to flake a lot more, the outsides of my mouth were flaking off, and my forehead felt very tight.

Day 5 (today)

My skin felt great when I woke up, no tightness, no burning, very nice....then I realized I needed to do the regimen all over again and I got sad lol... My face feels so tight and stiff right now. For breakfast I ate a large peice of bread and when I opened my mouth to bite it, my skin felt like it was ripping apart. Sooo dry. Outside of my mouth is starting to peel like crazy, looks pretty nasty. I am so glad I didn't have school today, I don't know how I would go like this flaking to school... My mom saw how self-concious I was about my skin yesterday and asked my if I was going to quit the regimen. Definitely not! My skin doesn't seem as red as yesterday thankfully! All of the blackheads on my nose and forehead seem very erect, and it's so hard for me not to pick at them! No new blemishes, and my forehead actually looks a bit clear, except for all the blackheads. Mom mentioned that my skin looked "Stiff" today, which I can definitely agree with. It's like I got botox and I can't move my face lol

That's it for now, I'll update again tomorrow! I took before pictures but I'm kinda embarassed to post them right now, I'll definitely post them when I see a bit more improvement. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask! Thanks for reading!

So I've only been on the regimen for 2 1/2 days and I was expecting redness and irritation, but my cheeks have been burning like crazy all day. I applied the steps this morning at 7am and still at 3pm my cheeks were hot to the touch and had a burning sensation. This has happened all day and it's so uncomfortable. Is that normal? I don't think I've been using too much BP, and the burning usually happens most after I put the moisturizer on. Does the burning/stinging sensation go down? I'm experiencing it all day.

Hello everyone! I'm 17, and I wouldn't say I have bad acne. I have pretty bad blackheads on my nose, cheeks, and forehead, and I always have lots of bumps, whiteheads and oilyness, but only occassionally get cysts or actual pimples. Right now my skin is the worst it's ever been, I have a few pimples on my cheeks and chin but nothing like spots or huge bulging red spots...I've ordered Dan's products, and my skin is very sensitive, I literally can touch my face and it turns red, and I always am very flakey in the forehead. I've been reading a lot of stuff about the regimen and it sounds very harsh...has anyone with only moderate/mild acne had success? Also would I see results quicker than someone with more severe acne?
Any insight is greatly appreciated! I am very excited to receive my products and begin but I'm afraid that it could irritate my skin even more than it already is.
