I started about 2-3weeks ago on the DKR regimen. Not much improvement, maybe it has gotten a little bit worse. I think it is just purging during the first few weeks. I have acne from my temple down. my forehead is clear, maybe one pimple near the eyebrow but thats it. However, the sides of my face, cheeks, and chin is pretty severe. I should probably put some photos up to prove to myself it is getting a little bit better every week. Well, here we go. I'm hoping i would clear up a lot before school starts, which is in one month. Also, i bought jojoba oil, more bp, and AHA today so when those arrive, I will add those to my regimen.

So far, I feel like the moisturizer is making my break out. When i apply it to my face, I have this stinging feeling. I'm getting some cysts, which i rarely have gotten before. Maybe, I'm just purging all the toxins that are deep in my skin. Since, I do have a bad habit of picking and popping my pimples. Which probably gets the bacteria deeper into my pores.

Here we go, hopefully I will get CLEAR!!!

another day in. however, my pimples are starting to hurt and look inflammed (angry red). I'm going to discontinue the moisturizer for right now and see what happens in a week. I'm going to add AHA though when it arrives around monday. the only thing i absolutely love is the bp. I'm thinking about replacing the dk cleanser with tree tea oil face wash and the dk moisturizer for Olay for morning and AHA at night.

Also, another update, my pimples are getting redder but i noticed the annoying red bumps are turning into whiteheads while staying red... what does this mean?

aaah.. i strongly recommend NOT stopping moisturizing. your skin will get too dry switching from dan's to olay is a good idea.

ahh, i realized it was really drying and i went and bought cetaphil ultra hydrating moisturizer. Thanks for advice though

my pimples are still looking beat red today. So i decided to use less than a whole finger lengths worth of bp. i did not like the texture of cetaphil lotion, it felt greasy even though it said its not... going to seach for a new moisturizer. I'm looking for Olay but which moisturizer shall i get from Olay?

the pimples are drying up and hardening which i like. However, its causing scars on the sides of my face... sigh. i'm gonna slap on some AHA when it arrives. maybe it will reduce the redness and scars at the same time.

Olay moisturizer for sensitive skin with spf 15

My package of jojoba oil, AHA and more BP has arrived.
i just started on jojoba oil, couple drops before putting on the BP. then later i'm gonna add some AHA. spot treatment for now just to test it out. incase i breakout for some odd reason.
anyways, my skin looks like it has sunburn, but i don't go outside that much... i'm getting couple of lil pimples under my jaw line now... so far my pimples are getting darker and settling down a little bit. hopefully it will keep going down. All in all, some improvement and i like the texture/feel of the jojoba. well, my skin is taking baby steps. hopefully it will start manning up and take leaps and heal faster lol. will post more picutres later this weak.
