Update 11/5
Basically I'm abadoning BP, because after using it for about two weeks I remembered why I stopped using it in my teen years. It seems to just dry you out a lot (which I did get a handle on with the moisturizer I bought) and control your acne, rather than getting rid of it
So I've been weaning myself off of it instead of just quitting it and getting a horrible outbreak as a result. Also, a note, I've stopped eating dairy and I have noticed it's making a difference in my skin!
I've only been using BP once a day, either at night or in the morning, and the other half of the day/night I just wash with water and moisturize. I also have been using a blemish stick (with tea tree oil) here and there, as a replacement, eventually, for the BP.
But so far, so good. Like I said, since I haven't been consuming dairy, I haven't had any breakouts, even though I'm not using the BP as much.
Once I wean myself off of it completely, I'll post my new regimen, with the brand name of the blemish stick and we'll see how well that medicates.
Wish me luck!

What moisturizer do you use now beentheredonethat? I see in your sig it says something about Green Cream?
I use the Shiseido moisturizer listed in my sig (the first one with an SPF i've ever been able to use). Green Cream is not a moisturizer, it's actually an over the counter topical retinoid.

Big update!!! I went to the derm today and got prescribed Accutane! 
So in a month I go back and can get the prescription. I'm very happy. I really think it would take something as drastic as this dangerous drug to help my skin. I have continued with the CSR on and off for this whole time, but alas, my acne is too severe just yet for it to make me and keep me clear.
So anyway, I'm back on the BP and will continue until I get my first dose of tane.
