Alrighty my story:

(i'll try to make it short)

Went on ProActiv worked sorta well then I had to go up to the states and I didnt bring any of my ProActiv stuff with me. At The end of the summer my acne returned big time. I then found the Regimen and was clear for about 1 year. I then got this weird red patchiness of my face and my derm put me on Benzaclin for it, benzaclin cleared it up mostly and i was smile.gif's. I go off of Benzaclin and then onto Clindamycin and Retin-a for some red marks. After a month I couldnt deal with the oilness and the IB. So I put myself back on the Regimen and right now that weird red patchiness has returned and my acne is back. While on benzaclin my face was mostly clear. So I now decide to go back on Benzaclin. I'll try to update this log as much as possible. I also think the Regimen didnt work as well now because I workout 6 out of 7 times a week and before when i orginally started the regimen, I was a fatass that never worked out.

I am on a benzaclin regimen too, been on it almost a month but still getting a pimple here and there. How long did it take to finally get rid of your acne and keep it at bay? Also did you only apply at night?

Jay.....Since I only did it once a day (night) I still would have pimples but they would be very minuscule and go away right away. I was on Benzaclin for 3 months.

I just have a question. When I was on the Benzaclin my derm told me to only moisturize during the day and not the night (back then my regimen was AM: moisturize, PM: Benzaclin). So my question is, since I didnt moisturize when I applied the Benzaclin, do I have to apply it now since I do it morning and night?
