Before going on "the regimen" i would only breakout if I didnt shave regularly. Although my face has always had tons of those tiny under the skin clear zits and some black heads, that just make the texture of your skin look bad from really close up.
Ive been on the regimen for about 2 weeks now. I am only applying the bp once per day as through experimentation twice a day is too much. Even at once a day my face feels extremely itchy and tingly like acupuncture needles. I have no flaking and hardly any dryer than normal
Within the first 2 days of using "the regimen" my face broke out, and has progressively gotten worse since. I went from having maybe 6 of those big red zits that would have gone away if I shaved daily. To now having about 15 of those big red zits and I am shaving daily.
I went on the regimen to get rid of those under the skin zits but all it has done is caused a breakout of these red zits that I normally wouldnt have.
How can I tell if this is "good purging" or if its just breaking me out from irritation?
You just have to wait it out. BP will bring anything under the surface to the surface and you can continue to break out even after 3 months as acne develops months before we see it. I am about 60 days in and still breaking out so what you are experiencing is not abnormal. You'll never know if it will work for you unless you keep at it.
