I had two small pimples pop up on my right cheek. They're still there but aren't really noticable to anyone but myself. I had one pimple on my chin but I popped it and it is healing easily. I popped another pimple on my left cheek and it seems to be healing over nicely. All around, this is the best/smoothest/clearest my skin has been in who...

Well, tonight marks the end of day 6 on my new regimen which consists of:

Morning: Rinsing with water and taking minocycline
Evening: Remove makeup with Ponds towlettes, washing with organic cleansing milk, waiting 10-30 minutes to apply Tazorac, take a second minocycline.

The antibiotics have been keeping me pretty clear. I did have a couple small...

Here we go! I went to the derm (who barely even glanced at my face, but she gave me what I want) and I got minocycline which I'm to take twice a day and tazorac. I was wanting retin a but they're pretty much the same thing so I'm not complaining too much. (total side note: don't you hate it when you feel you know more about acne than...

Things have been looking better this past week. My left side is clear, chin is clear, right side has like two spots which are hardly noticeable and forehead has one new bump that won't turn into anything. So far it's looking like I'll have good skin for graduation which would, obviously, be AWESOME. Benzaclin works well for me. It...

Ok, so for the past few weeks I have been shedding much more hair than what is normal for me. Grant it, I did use a shampoo bar which caused me to shed like 4 hairs in the shower (amazing for me), and I haven't been using that bar, I switched back to liquid shampoo because I noticed where I rub my shampoo bar on my head to lather has become more...

Well folks, I used my stinkin Clarisonic brush and boom! Breakout! Everytime I've used that brush I breakout. And I was thinking, maybe the benzaclin will keep me from breaking out but nope. I know it works well for some, but that brush gives me more acne than it's worth.

It has given my one pimple (actually like three tiny pimples...

Well, I guess I've been on benzaclin for only two weeks officially, but including when I mixed my own bp and clindamycin it's been three. Gosh, it seems longer than that. It's serving me really well though, better than any other derm product has done for me (minus the antibiotics). I'm still getting pimples but most of the time, honestly,...

So it seems I've been on Benzaclin about a week now. Update, my face is still doing better but not clear yet. Knowing it's just been a week, I wouldn't expect it to be perfectly clear. Redness is down, which I just result to inflammation being down. And the only whiteheads I'm getting are pretty small and go away within two or three days...

So, starting about a week ago, while waiting for my own Benzaclin to come in, I decided to mix my own Clindamycin gel that I have (that didn't help) with some benzoyle peroxide. REally, it's the same thing. Then I got the real Benzaclin on Friday night which was...three nights ago. Since them, my face has been clearing up. Whiteheads are coming...
