DO NOT use them together! Isotrex gel is sort of a chemical exfoliant (but better) in the way that it speeds up how fast your skin cells turn over. Differin does the same thing but its basically less effective. So there's no point in using the differin aswell. The isotrex gel on its own will dry your skin out quite a bit at first, so the differin will only make the irritation worse.

Isotrex tends to make some people break out more at first, this is called 'purging' (like the new movie lol) where all of the potential spots turn into spots as your skin gets cleared out. To minimize this, take the antibiotics for 3/4 weeks before you start using the Isotrex and it should be a bit more forgiving on your skin.

Let us know how it works for you

Basically no but it would help with the healing process and possibly minimize scarring to an extent, but really the best way to prevent scarring is to prevent the acne in the first place (which is obviously easier said than done).

The only way of knowing is if you stop for like two months and then masturbate, but youll have to make sure you stay absolutely consistent with your skin care routine because if youre using different products here and there then you'll never know if its them thats actually making your skin better and not you abstaining,

i'd just leave it alone, its possibly a cyst (acne that is under the skin instead of on the surface) and they tend to look red and worse than they really are. Leave it alone and if it doesnt go away after 4 weeks go back to your doctor

Nobody can really avoid that side effect, just keep using it and your skin will develop a tolerance Dont use a harsh cleanser because that will dry you out even more (no exfoliators for now - they dont help with the flaky skin anyway). Cetaphil moisturizing lotion is good because its non comedogenic. At night, wait about 15 minutes after you apply the duac to generously apply the moisturizer - it looks/feels greasy, dont worry it wont break you out. In the morning, straight after you wash your face and its still wet apply the moisturizer again - it will turn 'milky' with the water, but pat it into your face and then pat dry the excess with a towel - your skin will be moisturized but there wont be the greasy layer.

Dont give up using it, the flaky phase will pass if you keep using it daily

have you tried quinoderm? it contains lactic acid so it breaks down clogged pores and blackheads that BP on its own doesnt. Its avaliable in the UK aswell so its not too expensive (about £5 for a 50g tube)

I cant use BP consistently because of the irritation, Ive noticed that for most people it doesnt actually go away even though your skin is supposed to 'adjust after a week'. Ive tried to tough it out but it just gets worse, and the irritation makes me break out (and in places I dont usually break out). Also the dryness makes my skin look like crap, it gives me wrinkles (that go away when I stop using BP but still) and seems to prolong post acne marks. But if your skin is tough and can handle the side effects it is an effective regimen.

It looks like a cyst - pimples that are under the skin, you cant pop them and they dont come to a head. It will probably take a month or two for it to go on its own, dont mess around with it because if you keep irritating it it wont go down. Dont get too worried about it, its nothing dab of concealer cant cover in the mean time

If something works for you face, stick with it - the skin on your body is much thicker and more resistant, but it does eventually respond to treatment (just takes a little longer). Patience

Not to shoot you down or anything but really you shouldnt claim success on any regimen after only a week, any regimen should be used consistently for at least 2 months before you can say "this works, try it". But I do hope it does work for you long term.

we lose up to 100 hairs per day, that looks like a normal growth pattern on your head - you have nothing to worry about

What puts me off is that even though the beneficial effects of it can be permanent the side effects can be too - acne > hairloss, impotence, depression

I think when it comes to medical advice like this really you should speak to your doctor, if you research vitamin D its hard to overdose to the point of toxicity (you have to take a LOT over a few months to even get symptoms) but everyone is different and you should take the facts you read on here with a pinch of salt

from wikipedia: "In healthy adults, sustained intake of more than 1250 micrograms/day (50,000 IU) can produce overt toxicity after several monthsIn healthy adults, sustained intake of more than 1250 micrograms/day (50,000 IU) can produce overt toxicity after several months"

Most people on here take around 1,000 IU, which is a far cry from 50,000. It should be safe if you have no other known or underlying medical conditions

"just wash your face with soap and water" 

I think the caffeine speeds up your metabolism so everything is going faster  - hormones, oil production, it makes sense. I'm going to try and give up my morning coffee and see if i have any improvements because when I think about it my acne issues started in 2011 which was when i started drinking coffee regularly. I'm craving coffee just thinking about it, damn it :@
