I think it's possible. Keep in mind that acne can be under the skin for 30 days before it even shows uP. Give it three months.

^^^^what she said. There is no way u would see anything good or bad in only 5 days. I say three months too. Your skin wouldn't be purging from diet, that's from using retinoids and topicals.

What foods have you been replacing sugar and dairy with? Are you consuming more carbohydrates or fatty foods? Perhaps it's due to elevated stress, OR the frequency of your breakouts haven't changed however because you're on a diet you're spending more time examining yourself and thus became sensitive to changes in skin?

I feel you! I know it's hard, but you are going to be happy in the near future! Keep me updated
