Wow your story really gives me hope that one day my skin will look as nice as your does now. Mine is so awful... so so awful. I have pics on my forms. but i find comfort in knowing that a cure is possible. I can not WAIT for that day I too am a picker. I dont see how people DONT pick when they have a whitehead thatsabout to go :S or a huge cyst that could pop.

I truly believe you´re gonna succeed. About that picking, it helped me to stay at home for a few days, maybe a week or two would be perfect. So nobody sees your whiteheads or whatever you currently suffer from, you can control your bad habit and let your skin recover. Popping cysts! is the biggest mistake I´ve ever done concerning my skin. It never helped, more pain the next day, bigger inflamation,more acne and finally the scars remaining until today. Cysts are really not made to be popped. They´re too deep. Even if you succed and something goes out, something always stays under the skin and it´s becomming a big issue to set it right.

Hope you will win this match. Fingers crossed!!

 

Hi guyys! So I´m back with the photos of my final results, as I promised. As u can see, scars still remain, and they probably will for always. But I feel great even though If I use the right amount of bp twice a day, I have no pimples at all. I didn´t have any breakout since I discovered, that my skin can´t bear such a big amount of bp, so a have to use just a very small amount and everything works great for me. Please everybody, if your story is similar to mine, try not to follow the rules so obsessively, because everyone´s skin is different, and rather follow what your skin tells you, otherwise you can end up like this.

So this is how it ends. I´m happy with my skin now, even with these scars. If you´re interested in my current regimen, I´ll try to summarize it.

Morning & evening - dan´s cleanser, pea size of bp 2,5%, moisturizin with CeraVe moisturizing lotion (absolutely love it, recommend to anyone, who hates the yelow Dan´s one, but if you use huge amount of bp, it will role up)

I don´t have to wait between the particular steps and in summer I can use any facial sunscreen I want to, nothing bad happens to my skin.

Okay, thank you all for supporting me and for you advice. I´ve suffered from my acne a lot and I´ll never forget, how awful and stresful it is, so if I can help anybody by answering any question, please don´t be afraid to ask.

Yes!! Cera Ve rocks. I just read ur whole journey and just started the regimen myself almost 2 weeks ago. Within a few days my whole chin broke out in painful whiteheads. I also felt that Dans moisturizer just wasn't cutting it... Like you said, I was still super dry flaky and stinging all day. Literally within 48 hours of switching back to my old moisturizer (cera Ve lotion) my skin calmed down like 80%... Everyone on here, including you, is right that there is no one size fits all regimen for acne and tweaking routines and listening to your skin is paramount. My theory is that my face doesn't like jojoba oil, which is the top ingredient listed on the moisturizer... Strange cuz I always heard "Choose oil free if you have acne!" ... But I thought maybe this would be different.. I was wrong! Maybe some people do well w oil on their face but as for me (and maybe you too?) oil is a no no.

OMG LITERALLY the exact same thing happened to me. Cerave saves my life. Here's my weekly blog I'm on week 9 right now

Your skin looks great!!!! Congrats!!!!!

Your skin is beautiful now, just like you! Congrats <3

Hi K, good to jear that you succeed, did you still use it until now? And So the point of your mistake is the quantity of BP? Thanks

Thats right. I still do use bp and my scars are still healing. And exactly as u said - the point of my mistake was using too much bp.

I do. I dont like the vision of my future full of bp. I cant imagine f.e. to have children (hugging, kissing, licking everything and everybody) and still wearing bp on my face. BUT... even Ive found a miracle in bp, I still try to learn living healthy and to found out why I do have acne (Ive some other related health troubles - taking some food supplements etc). So yeah, I still hope to find more about the cause of me having acne and to stop using bp one day.
