Does anyone actually have photos of what their skin was like when they first started using the regimen?
What i mean by this is the redness, flakey, dry stage.... I want to see what it's actually like and if it's considered "really bad" in my books.
Thank you to anyone who is brave enough to do so. I ordered the regimen yesterday, so i'll start using it in 2 weeks or so. I really hope the redness is coverable with makeup and the dryness will be "tolerable" but I have a feeling it wont be the case.

I only have pictures from when I was in my fourth week:


It's not a great picture, but you see the blotchiness?



Week 2 was the worst for me though, my skin was super dry and crusty and flaky and red and just horrible and putting make up on it only made it look worse.

I'm worried about that too. I ordered it yesterday and I'm so worried that the dried, red skin will be worse than the acne itself? I'm just going to start MAD slow with the BP. Like, half a pump once a day for a week. Then go super super slow so my face can adjust

Thanks for the photos. I appreciate it! I hope I don't get really bad reactions from it........ Praying!

Yes I'm planning on doing that too! I'll probably start a log. You should too and we can compare and discuss it together! best of luck to both of us yeah?

Keeping a photo log is a great idea and I'd recommend it. I wish I had done that. It'll help you see week by week improvement, which will definitely help you keep on it and stay disciplined with it even if the dryness gets tough for awhile. After 2-3 months on the regimen you will be able to look back and see the progress you've made since day 1 and I bet you will be pleasantly surprised to see the difference!

Alright I will!
