So the scar message board people suggested subcision or dermarolling/ needling for my type of scarring (rolling). Subcision looks extremely scary so maybe for now I can live with scars. Dermarolling seems much less intense.

I wonder if it's possible to get rid of my scars without these extreme measures? Of course this will have to take a long time but seeing my poor skin undergo so many cuts doesn't seem right either. Aggravating my skin may cause breakouts....

Any suggestions??

Wow, can I just say you've made great progress!!! You give me hope (I'm just over a month into the Regimen and not seen any real improvement yet!)

And also from your most recent pics I don't think your scars look that bad! Besides sometimes extreme measures like that for scars can make them worse so I've heard. But ultimately it's up to you. I would suggest giving them more time before taking such drastic action, after all, you've come this far with patience!

11 months

I hope everyone is doing great! I still have lots of scars from last summer *sigh*. I have one cyst deep in my skin that just won't go away for the past 8 months?? I'm not touching it. I have very minor tiny breakouts that doesn't really bother me. Instead of trying to fix my scars I'm going to work on my hyperpigmentation.

Updated Routine:
Wash: SBT Berry Soap
Topical: DKR BP
Moisturizer: JASON Lightening Vitamin K cream (just started), was using Argan Oil for a few months
Face Masks: Manuka honey + lemon juice + Cinnamon powder; plain yoghurt
Makeup: I don't generally use makeup. But I just recently purchased Mineral Fusion Press powder with the mineral spray for dressy occasions. I hope it won't break me out.
Eating: Not nearly as healthy as I want to be! I drink quite abit of fluids.
Exercise: Every other day. I do minimal cardio because I do break out if I am drenched in sweat.

Here's my pic! Good luck all xoxo

your face looks great, I'm so happy for you!!!

Uh Oh! I'm breaking out again.

Location: chin + mouth area, jaw.... yikes

It started last week, at first it was one zit...so I started to wear make up. then they started to cluster??!!!

Through process of elimination I gathered these may be the causes:

- Stress/ lack of sleep (hormonal) from starting my school year again in Sept.
- I had lots of chocolate almond milk, mozzarella cheese, and processed foods (I started to take my clear skin for granted) they broke me out in the past, duh.
- I wear make up twice a week...because I had one zit, now it's a mess
- does DKR bp expire? I had mine since March this year.

*sigh*

I'm going to have to be more strict with my diet, fluid, sleeping, and regimen again.

I want clear skin again!!!!

Oh my goodness - such an inspiring story! I can't believe how improved your skin is from when you started -- big congrats!!
I just started yesterday on the Regimen (alternative products) and although the Panoxyl is seriously so painful for about an hour after application (I'm only using it once a day at present), I can already see results. I hope things will continue to get better!

i think i read somewhere that after the bp product has been opened it expires after 6 months but I am not a 100% sure

Hi everyone,

It has been 1.5 years since I started the DKR. Even though I was pretty much clear, the scars were taking a long time to heal and my complexion could have been better. So I started to cut back on the BP to once a day. Of course I started to break out after a week but I did noticed that my scars were healing a lot faster. I also noticed that even though I was on BP, I still break out from almond milk, cheese, fried foods... etc. My skin needs nutritional foods to be well, lots of rest, and a happy peaceful mind.

My current regimen:

Morning
Neem Soap, BP, Seabuckthorn night cream + 5 drops of argan oil, eye serum, obagi sun screen

Night
Neem Soap, organic yogurt face mask, argan oil, eye serum

I try to keep my facial products very natural apart from the BP. I also changed my toothpaste and mouthwash to natural based products because its healthier and helps me with my skin. Recently, I started to do this soft facial at night when I wash my face, called Tanake facial massage.... to improve my circulation in my face = better complexion mainly and healing scars. I want to start on my green fruity smoothy again.

So here are my most updated pictures with some breakouts, but mostly good and healthy. Good luck with your progress all.
