Hello fellow DKR users!

I've decided to chronicle my experiences with the regimen, partly to keep myself motivated and track changes, partly to get advice and support from the community.

Preface:
I've been on the DKR for about one week now. I was skeptical about the DKR, since I had once been prescribed a 5% BP solution by a derm before, with horrible results - my face was red, irritated, and extremely painful to the touch. (I chalk this up to not being properly educated on application and treatment during BP use - if I remember I never was gentle enough with my skin, and I certainly dont think I was supposed to be on 5%)

Previously I was using this regimen:
Dr. Perricone Skin Clear Cleanser (threw this out after reading the ingredients)
Clindamycin Lotion
Rentin-A gel

DAY 7:

Morning:
Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash
Olay Complete All Day UV Moisturizer

Night:
Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash
Neutrogena On the Spot BP 2.5% (a little more than half a finger, squigly style as shown in the picture from the dkr guide)
Jojoba oil (applied liberally/ as needed)

Skin condition:
So far my skin has calmed down dramatically from the first few days, definitely not as much redness, so that's a relief. I have been getting small breakouts, but I think those are just former zits resurfacing. The BP is treating my big pimples really well though - the face that the zits dont dry out and go away very quickly helps with my picking problem.
Barely any stinging now too. I have very scaley skin (not as much as at first though) on my forehead though - I think its one big massive breakout waiting to happen, I'm kind of freaked out.
I'm still too scared to apply the BP day and night, so I've been upping the dosage at night. I think I'm going to wait for Dan's BP to ship before I do it in the day, since I'm really hating the disgusting white residue the NOTS leaves.
