I've been using The Regimen for the last 6 days. I've been trying to follow the directions to a T. I haven't noticed much improvement, in fact I think my skin may be getting a little bit worse. It seems like some blackheads and clogged pores may be coming to the surface, which would be a good thing, but at the same time it seems like I may just be getting new acne. So my question is, should I expect to be purging at all having just started the regimen? From what I understand, making changes to your skin care routine usually results in a purge but I want to make sure. Thanks
This is to be expected. Often times people get bad breakouts weeks into the regimen so don't let that discourage you.
My worst breakout was during my 4th and 5th week. So many cysts came to the surface of my jawline and I was very close to quitting. However, I stuck with it and it was the best decision I've ever made for my skin.
Have patience!
I agree with Nicmic! Patience is key!! Coincidentally my son is 5 weeks into the Regimen and going through a purge as well. But at least things are healing up a bit faster than they were so they only hang around a day or two.
Have faith in the process and try not to get discouraged! What you're going through is normal at this stage. As long as you're using as directed, the Regimen will eventually catch up with p.acnes bacteria and overtake it. It can take several weeks to a few months to get clear, so don't give up!
