Hi,
Today I am starting my second week on the regimen and I am absolutely miserable. Because the first week I only needed to apply the treatment at night, during the day I was ok. However, once I put in the the treatment my face was completely on fire. The itchiness, the redness, the ardor, they were all unbearable to the point that I couldn't sleep. I've been using sleepi-aids and that's the only way I've been able to sleep. I did not start too fast too soon, I was very careful with the amount of treatment that I used. I looked at all the videos and studied the process before starting the treatment. Today I am supposed to start using thr treatment twice a day, but I decided to use it only tonight until I get a response for this. I have no idea how I could function an entire day with the treatment on my face, like I said I could only handle it because as soon as I put it in I take my sleep-aid. Please help me!! I am desperate, I don't see my face swelled up but it is as red as a tomato can be. I look miserable and feel miserable, I need to know if it is worth it or not because I am considering giving up and just live with my acne. Every morning when I wake up and I start feeling the pain from my face I start crying! That's how unbearable it is. I cannot put this treatment on my face in the morning as well, I JUST CAN'T!
I went through the same thing. The Regimen is initially a very uncomfortable process for some to start out and there are days when it is very up and down. There are days your skin feels nice, and times when it doesn't. If it feels very uncomfortable try fanning your face or applying more moisturizer throughout the day or stick your face in the freezer for a few seconds...I used to do that a lot. But really, its only the 2nd week, it is too early to tell. I almost quit but I am so happy I didn't because I got clear and have stayed clear for almost 3 years now.
