Day 16:

I woke up to 2 new whiteheads which were like small under the skin blemishes. I think the reason I broke out was because I didn't use the Regimen in the time frame the day before yesterday. Well I really don't know cause I've been eating junk food these past 3 days. lol Anyways I'm getting compliments on my skin from my mom and it feels great

I think the jojoba oil is not doing much for me but it's still early to tell.. maybe I should use big drops?

I've been at work for most of the day everyday and I feel a lot more confident dealing with people(I'm a cashier)

It's an amazing feeling

Best wishes to everyonee

I always use about 5-6 drops of jojoba oil, at night I sometimes like to add extra.

Regarding the junk food thing, I am right there with you. I know it would be so much better to eat healthy and clean, but it can get really boring sometimes. Hahaha. Sometimes you just want a cheeseburger, ya know?

Glad you are feeling much more confident! I still kinda struggle with having that confidence even though I have had great results with the regimen...I still feel like I have so much acne on my face even though I dont. Weird!

When I use 5 drops my face looks very oily maybe I should just do 5 drops at night and 3 in the morning.

Lol yes, exactly!

Thank you you shouldn't cause your skin loooks great! how often do you get breakouts?

Yeah, give that a go. I always put more moisturizer and jojoba at night because I don't really mind the greasy look when I go to bed.

I still do get a couple spots. Maybe 1-2 a month now. But I would categorize those spots under female related issues. Other than that, it's going pretty well. I guess having acne for so long...and covering my face up most of the time. I do sometimes feel I still have it even though I don't. Slowly building up in my confidence department.

I shall.

That's incredible! You'll do it. The worst part is already over for you

@Flagg

Haha yeah I work in a retail store, Ross Dress for Less. It's just while I get back into school ahah I wouldn't even think about doing that my whole life.

Thanks

Day 17:

Okay today I had like 4 whiteheads, 2 on the side of my mouth close to my cheek and 2 on my chin, or maybe 3. I can't remember because now I only have 1 whitehead on my chin, crazy right?

My face is still pretty flaky after washing it but it goes away. I've noticed I've been taking way longer than I should be spreading out the moisturizer but it's a lot and I want it to cover my whole face, plus it takes a while to dry up. My face isn't as red as it was a couple days ago, I'm trying to avoid the sun as much as I can, I feel like a vampire lol.

My birthday is coming up so I'm excited for that, and hoping my face will be clear by then

& I will also be seeing my bf who hasn't seen me in months, want to look my best for him lol he loves me either way.

Anyways, hope you guys had a wonderful day

Day 18:

Today was a good day, no new breakouts, no oil when I woke up, some of the pimples I had yesterday just dried up and are dissapearing. 3 more days and that'll make it 3 weeks on the Regimen, hoorayy!!

I think that as I start using more BP the breakouts will stop, well I hope they do! The moisturizer seems to make my face red and the scars more visible, something I really don't like but as the day goes by my face starts getting its color back. I think the only thing it really does is help with the flakiness, while the jojoba oil keeps me from getting oily.

I'm getting great results so I can't complain, and just see where it takes me

Best of wishes to Team Regimen

The results keep getting better and better for you! That's great to hear. How much BP are you using now? I'm up to about half a finger's worth and I'm wondering if that's a good portion, it does seem to cover my whole face really well

I'm using like up to the 2nd line on my index finger, idk if that makes sense but yeah.. I'm still getting breakouts just got 2 new ones and one that I had grew..

This whitehead on the corner of my bottom lip is really hurting and it's so small!! what a jerk

I'm on day 5 of the regimen and My face BURNS when I'm done applying the moisturizer. I applied the moisturizer like a couple hours ago and my face still burns! I only use bp at night and whats reccomended. did you have any burning?

Don't you hate the small but painful ones? Of course if I get a small zit I usually 'help' it and turn it into a big one. Then I feel sooo much better

HAHA... Just popped one this morning that was right on my jawline... Just to tell you, AyeAye and I have been on the regimen for over a year and we still get little breakouts... You aren't alone...

Don't you hate the small but painful ones? Of course if I get a small zit I usually 'help' it and turn it into a big one. Then I feel sooo much better

Lol I usually do that too and then pop it once it's really big but this time I'm gonna leave it alone and let the BP do the work

HAHA... Just popped one this morning that was right on my jawline... Just to tell you, AyeAye and I have been on the regimen for over a year and we still get little breakouts... You aren't alone...

Thanks I am def not alone, I have my Team Regimen buddies

How long did it take for you guys to see results?

I didn't really see significant progress until my 16th week on the regimen. From there, it was smooth sailing, so long as I stuck to the regimen and didn't deviate from it often... I've enjoyed beautiful skin since about May of last year... Been on the regimen since January 2012..

Just have to say, you look exactly like one of my nieces... uncanny...

@nycqueen

That's insane! 4 months! lol I'm very impatient I will probably give it 3 months.

& about your niece, you should post a pic of her so I can see

Day 19:

I have a new zit on the side of my forehead, it's kinda big and red.. I also have like another under the skin zit, or whatever it is next to my ear along the side of my cheek. I have 2 whiteheads around my mouth, one on the corner of my mouth and one right next to it, I think they're bffs lol

Face was extremely flaky this morning, more than ever actually. It went away with the moisturizer and I used 5 drops cause I didn't have work until later.

Nothing really new, jus breaking out still and I'm surprised I got that zit on my forehead but I haven't hit 3 months yet, so it's expected.

I bought this cute matching keychain for my bf, I get the heart and he gets the key, feeling romantic today

haha anyways I will report to you guys later on if I get a new breakout or if any other random thing happens to me, have a nice dayy

lol I think we've both reached a phase in the Regimen where we get random zits on our foreheads, cuz I'm experiencing the same thing! Hang tough and keep rolling, Faith!

haha ikr!! it's so frustruating but we're still in a breakout phase so things can only get better after this

Day 20 =O

Woahhh!! 20 days! I didn't even realize I was on my 20th day.. I need to read through my log more lol. I feel like some of it is repetitive though cause I keep breaking out. The zit on my forehead is less red and it seems to be going down, thank god, or nature lol

Still have those 2 small pimples by my lip and the one on the side of my cheek is slowly fading, still hurts a little bit. I wish my skin wasn't so rough in texture maybe I need a new moisturizer..

Thinking about going back to school in the fall so that is the good newss

Wish me luck guys! & Good luck to all of you

I want to exfoliate once a week, good or bad idea?

I just really wanna get rid of the flakes on my face that just seem to be caked on all the time, and I know I'm not supposed to be rough with my skin, but how will they come off?

any suggestions for good exfoliators, etc?

Thank you!

Yes I think you guys are experiencing a time when your face is acting very weird and you are getting acne in weird places, and sometimes places you hardly have gotten it! It so weird, the regimen at a certain time makes you acne do some funny things, but you three will get through it easily because you all have the attitude that clear will clear you

Keep up the good work!

So happy to you see all supporting each other!

Thank you!

I would stick to using your hand and rubbing your face a little harder in the morning when you wash your face or take a shower for a couple more weeks. But if you are really comfortable with it St Ives Apricot face scrub is wonderful. Very cheap and works wonders. You can get it at Walmart of anywhere really for under 5$ and I love it! Smells wonderful too!

But if rub my face harder isn't that bad since we're supposed to be gentle?

Thank you for the suggestion, I might try that I'll probably do it like a once a week or so.

Well i don't mean be super rough but just a little more pressure with your fingertips when you are washing your face with warm water can help slough off the dead and flaky skin a but easier thats all

Okay, thanks a lot doll

Day 21(3 weeks!):

Finally at 3 weeks and not really much has changed from last week, this week I've been getting more breakouts than the last 2 so not a very good week but I will continue this Regimen no matter what! I'm going to start using a full finger's length of BP now and see how that goes.. a lot more flakiness most likely. I'm thinking about using jojoba oil as an exfoliator after washing my face, I've seen some posts about it on here so I'm gonna try that out cause I feel like the flakes are creating a layer. I'm also gonna order the AHA soon, so that I can start using it in about 2 weeks. That should help with the exfoliation too

How my face is doing:

I don't have any actives, just the breakouts that are now drying up but are still there. The one on the side of my right cheek hasn't surfaced yet and still hurts so I'm not sure if it's drying up.

Let's hope the 1 month mark brings more improvements!

Have a great day guys!

Holy crap!!! I just applied the jojoba oil right after the cleanser, and it took off A LOT of flakes, groossss..

anyways I let it dry for 5 mins then applied the BP and my BP went on like really good!! my face felt smooth while I applied it. Is this because the jojoba oil hadn't dried up? maybe I should wait longer

Day 22:

Having a rough day. This one's gonna be brief.

No new actives, acne is drying up.

Jojoba oil is kinda working to remove the flakes but not all of them and I am now going to use it before I wash my face cause I feel like the BP won't absorb into my skin with it under.

Hope you guys had a better day than I did.

You're right, the jojoba oil will reduce the effectiveness of the Bp as it won't absorb as well into the skin. Try not to mess around with the steps too much before you are clear, but I completely understand the temptation. The first month really does suck. Just keep remembering that it does get better. I was starting to lose a lot of my early motivation by the 4th week but suddenly in week five I had a big improvement in my skin, plus I seemed to suddenly be fully adjusted to the Bp and my face was much less red and flaky. But week 11 was my magic week when I was completely free from acne for the first time in over 20 years. Hang in there, we are all with you every step of the way.

I dont think it should mess with the effectiveness of the BP as much as you may think. But probably best not to mess with the steps of the regimen right away. I actually use moisturizer on my face first after cleansing, then use the BP. I use this because it makes my skin soft and less flaky (yes you still get flaky even after months of the regimen). I don't breakout from not using BP before moisturizing and I had very severe acne. As long as i use one pump on the morning and one at night after i moisturize I DO NOT breakout so maybe once you are clear and a few months in you can try this method so that your skin can stay softer.
