okkay so..been clear for about almost 2 months now..stoped using the bp..was only using the gentle wash.. from shaving i got like 3-4 pimples so i thought i should start using the bp again..but my face was never reallly all that great so i bought some aha moisturizr to not only clear acne...but just my face look better..

well 2 weeks later using dans gentle wash and bp..and lh5..i now have about 14 pimples on my face...havnt had this much in over 3-4 months..

so now im going back on the csr regi like i did at first..day and night never missing..

Should I still use the lh5 ? it was helping and it does work great..im not sure if that made me break out..

o well here it goes.

active p on face - 11

If you are starting the Regimen anew, you can use the LHF if you feel your skin is up to it. Otherwise you can wait a few weeks and let your skin get reaccustomed to the BP again before adding it back in. There can be a bit of purging sometimes when you introduce AHA products, perhaps that is part of this recent breakout. It should subside in time.
good luck!

thanks for the reply brandy..

well i started..

this morning:

dans gentle wash.. waited 15 min
applied BP on..using half finger length. felt good didnt burn or get
red at all. waited 20 min.

didnt use LH5 today early.

im about to go wash and apply BP and not use lh5 again.

I think i'll bring that in later..after a week or so of straight BP day and night for 1 week.

EDIT:...wow..active acne = 13 ..not 11..just noticed 2 new ones on my chin..
I didnt even know till i just washed my face.

Hi again,
Be sure and use SOME moisturizer, don't skip it altogether while you are waiting to use the LHF.
It will be important in helping your skin stay balanced and healthy looking while the BP is killing off the p.acnes bacteria!

yeah I still have my cetaphil so im using that, my skin is looking better already after like 3-4 days.
the right side of my face looks like it used to..1 pimple only..but my left side still has like 4 or 5..

my 2 huge pimples my chin are basicly gone now..

pretty sure im down to like 6 pimples now from 13..after 4 days.

Should not use the lh5 for like a month ? or just start soon..becasue i love that moisturizre..

also the BP im using a good amount and its not burning so i guess my skin is still used to it. so I think
I'll go back on the lh5 in a couple days
