I've been doing this & seeing maybe an initial breakout? my nose is getting pimples and it hasn't in months before, and blackheads are beginning to come through. is this normal?

I don't find it hard to believe that these acne treatments make the condition worse in the long run. But my acne was brought on by genetics. My mom and brother both had it. And I went the longest time without putting anything on my skin and it still hasn't gone away. I'd much rather everyone keep looking for cheaper, effective treatments and stick it to the manufacturers of these ridiculously-priced products.

^ How old are you? If you are still in your teens, then you could very well just grow out of it. If you are out of your teens, then I'd say that your acne should be treated in some gentle manner.

I just turned 20 a month ago. My brother had to take Accutane when he was around 18 and it went away for good. My mom still struggles with a little bit at the age of 50-something. I think my case is less severe than theirs but its still enough to fuck with me.
