I'm about 3 months into the regimen, and my skin's getting alot better. Here's some pics.. Also any idea how to get rid of the redness in the face? I think my skin would be alot better if the redness was the same color as my skin ;o
First week on the regimen :\:\

QUOTE (ILoveMyPuppy @ Nov 2 2009, 08:52 PM)  do you use a mosturizer that has spf. Or use sunscreen? And are you using more bp than dan uses? I'm using Dan's BP, yes. I use three 3 products from Acne.org (Cleanser/BP/Moisturizer). I don't have a sunscreen, but I don't think it's the sun making my skin red. I think it's the BP. I kept with it because it was clearing acne, but leaves redness. People said it'd subside after a few weeks but going on month 3 now and it's still red as I first started... QUOTE (Maximus0 @ Nov 2 2009, 11:17 PM) damn dude a lot of improvement! Thanks man, i'm actually seeing hope for my acne to leave... It's mostly just red marks/red skin if I can get rid of that... i'd be about 80% clear. I'd give myself atm a 55% improvement from what I was. |

Try the AHA... I think it helps with the red face plus left over acne spots!

AM: Pure Goats Milk Soap- Very gentle rub the soap on my hands on to my face and neck for 3 mins then wash off with warm water, pat dry. PM: Pure Goats Milk Soap- Very gentle rub the soap on my hands on to my face and neck for 3 mins then wash off with warm water, pat dry wait 15 mins before applying Shea Butter as a moisturizer and scar treament (helps with blimishes too.) Slice of Nature 100% pure West Africa Shea Butter- A little goes a long way, apply with fingertip to face and neck. Acne.org AHA- Once a week in the PM rather then using Shea Butter, apply with fingertip to face and neck, I use this to exfoliate and scar treament. Once a week in the AM Dead Sea Magic Mineral Mud Mask - After cleaning my face with soap, pat dry wait 15 mins then apply mask on to dry skin, let sit on face and neck for 10 mins then wash off with warm water, pat dry. Tri-Sprintec (Birth Control) Spironolactone 50mg 3x a day Doxycycl 100mg 2x a day Zinc 50mg 1x a day Omega 3 Fish Oil 1200mg 1x a day Water: 8 Big Glasses a day |

I think it might be Dan's Moisturizer that causes my redness. Yes I know, I've read the stuff on "it stings for the first few weeks, etc etc" but it's been 3 months. and it still stings/makes my face red instantly as I put it on. I do have real sensitive skin...

Sun exposure while using BP can cause redness and can induce other symptoms caused by sun damage. It is highly recommended to use sunscreen. I like the walgreens sunscreen, that is shown in this video.
http://www.acne.org/blog/2009/06/24/sun-we...hoosing-an-spf/ I think it helps a lot and it leaves the skin super soft.

I believe Dan is taking out one of the ingredients in his mosturizer that people say "sting" their face. So hopefully when that comes out, you can see, if that is the problem.

Yea its probably the moisturizer, I had the same problem. Try and use AHA at night.

... we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless. |

Thanks for the reply, i think i'll go and pick up the cetaphil today. Any particular one? I'm in the US Army, so i'll have to check the Post Exchange store if they have it.. |

I know you said you were going to possibly pick up some Cetaphil, but if you can't get it, or don't like it, and can order products online, I recommend Complex 15 Therapeutic moisturizer. It has the same consistency as Dan's moisturizer, but creates no burning or redness and moisturizes pretty well! It's not quite as moisturizing as Dan's, but if you add some jojoba oil it's great. I use it in the mornings because I wear makeup and don't want to use Dan's moisturizer with the jojoba oil in it.
It's worth a shot if you can get it! Hope you figure something out...your skin has definitely cleared up!
