Day 27

Still wondering if im going on the regimen again. My face looks so much better as 2weeks ago. But still I think its only for a small period.

Day ehm 1
Started again with the regimen. So start counting again. Started with half an finger cuz im already used to the pb a little bit.
Overview:
week 1:regimen: acne increased slightly
week 2: regimen: acne increased slightly, really dry skin
: last 2 days: used only moisturizer to get my face normal again! (know what i did wrong used more bp and less moisturizer on my pimple areas.
week 3: cleanser + after sun 1x a day : acne decreased fast
week 4: cleanser 2x day : acne was really good
week 5: day 1-2 cleanser: acne looked getting way worse in just 2 days
day 3+ regimen: well no info yet

Going to stay on the regimen for 3 weeks. If it doesnt decrease the 3th week i will stop.
I do this because i have the feeling that it takes 2 weeks for pimples to come out. So results come 2 weeks later... In that case you can see that the regimen helped, and that the cleanser didnt help. Maybe that trend will continu this 2 weeks. and then it will decrease. We will see...

Day 3

Acidently applied to much BP on my left side of my face, where i dont have acne! ARGH! Was really red, when i got home i put on kilos of moisturizer (ok your right im lying it was just 1 pump ). But acne staying the same And currently thats good enough for me. However i would wish less redness And less rain when going to school it washes of the moisturizer only resulting in more redness of course. Hmm maybe i will post a pic tomorrow.

Day 7 2 big zits on my nose prob cysts, tried to pop one to early , made it worse. Going to increase amount tommorow.
Except for my nose my face looks kinda the same.
Also having problems with the times i can apply it. it was Friday: 7:00 23:00 Saterday: 12:30 and prob its going to be 4:00 or later Sunday will have to be 13:00 22:00 for the best timing i guess.

Day 13
hmm maybe i have a wrong count xD Cuz i remember i started on a sunday but that doesnt matter. I see a little inprovement but it was worse 3days a go , so still overall no inprovement but i hope it will come. Im now really fed up with my acne! But i have hope.

Awh =( Keep at it!

Sounds like your having up and down days, but in the end, you'll be glad that you stuck with it! Good luck! Also, I noticed that you said that you only do 3/4th of a finger. Are you still doing that?

Day 14
reply: Eh im 1.85 and i have big hands... So 3/4th is like 1 finger lenght
btw your not really a vampire right, cuz they are scary

Going out tonigh! Woohooh Lets screw the regimen! (Cuz i dont want to apply it before so i end up appyling it at 5 o clock... and then i sleep trew the hole day so i actually skip the morning.

Day 18

Hmm some inprovement, i think i havent had any breakouts last days so if that keeps on i will be clear , but still a lot of time to go! Moisturizer almost empty will have to find a new one to replace dan's.

Day 19

The regimen doesnt feel that anoying any more and face doesnt get red any more. But i dont want to apply more because i like it like this. And my skin is still flaky. But not red. Applying the BP almost right after the cleanser cuz the cleanser dries really badly.
I think ive had no (not noticible) breakouts and face is clearing up i think.

[AncientOne]

just keep it up Joris! Seriously the longer your on the regimen i think it just gets better....because yeah i have been on the regimen for a month now and i have definetely had my up and downs...debating whether this is really working. but judging from my skin texture and today no pimples i feel its getting there.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT BEFORE AND AFTERS...and noticed that the longer your on the regimen the faster your breakouts heal until you dont really break out anymore and i have seen people go through months for there face to be completely acne free....HAVING THAT GOAL INFRONT OF ME KEEPS ME GOING...maybe it it will help you!

i think your gonna be one of those real success stories! were you struggle but in time you will be were you want to be at...

ooh yeahh post some update pictures soon!

[joris]

I actually stopped the regimen for now. My skin was so flaky its still restoring !!!!!! And i use moisturizer.
I might go back on the regimen next year or something. But want to try some lighter methods first...
I think your skin reacts better to the products. The cleanser is so good that it just dries your skin out in a few minutes if you forget to apply the BP. The BP makes your skin red. And i have the feeling that im a little bit allergic to the moisturizer. Cuz my face gets more red after applying it.
But i will check it out later.
Im now just going to look to Vitamines.

Btw you avoid nose moisturizing wth. If i do that for only half an hour my hole skin comes off!
