Hello again,
Today marks two weeks on the regimen, and I have noticed a serious difference in the amount of pimples that arise. However, a few days ago, I started getting inflamed pimples all over my chin and jaw area. I was wondering if this was a part of the purging phase. I probably have about 5 actual pimples, but I have just over 50 red marks on the entire area that make it look way worse. I can't wait until the hardening phase is over so I can add in aha+, but that's a ways away. Also, could anyone tell me what type of acne this is (moderate-severe or moderate-light). I have never really had cystic acne before, but some inflamed ones take a while before they come to head.
I would say it's pretty light. There is a purging stage with BP, and in some it can take quite some time. So hang in there! You don't look bad at all. I have a lot more hyperpigmentation and you're lucky.. most of those won't lead to scars!
I love Dan's AHA+ You'll really like it.
I would say you are still in the purging stage. I broke out really bad during my 4th and 5th week on the regimen. A bunch of cystic acne all along my jawline. But stick with it. Your acne wasn't as bad as mine so you'll get through it.
Good choice on deciding to use the AHA. It really does make the skin look 10X better when you are on the regimen. Good luck!
Thank you, you have no idea how greatful I am that I can get such strong support during this rough time. I've been struggling with acne since I was 17 (two years) and I would love to get a clearer complexion within the next year or so. I know that the regimen will help in the long run if I stick with it.
