So I started using the regimen on May 3rd, and it is now May 17th. The first week, my skin literally looked flawless, it glowed, complexion was even, no dryness, pimples noticeably went away. It looked so good and my self confidence went up so much. However, during the middle of the second week, my skin started to go downhill.. The dryness began, and I noticed little bumps forming. It wasn't that big of a notice until the weekend came. During the weekend, the dryness got worse and I noticed more bumps. I then did some research and learned that during the second week, you may experience a breakout, so that made me feel less worried. However, it is now week 3 and my skin looks skaly, it constantly flakes, and my forehead is peeling. I am also breaking out badly. I currently use 2 pumps of cleanser, 2/3 pump of BP, and 2 pumps of moisturizer. I do this twice a day. I was curious as to if this was a normal reaction. All I want is for it to get better. I read so many good reviews on the regimen which excited me to use it, however it isn't so "great" for me.

It's not even up to a month yet
You just described my experience! I started May 5th. I thought I was further along than I am but I've only been on for 2 weeks. Lol. I'm so impatient. I also decided to do a 30% glycolic acid peel last night (don't do this) as I had enough of the flakes, like severe flaking and well now I'm just hideous. Like I'm embarrassed to walk around. I've done them before and know it will pass but it didn't make anything better so it's pointless. I started breaking out bad a few days ago like you. So annoying. Still am too. Ughhh. I just ordered the AHA and jojoba oil, having it next day flighted to me. I'm really hoping that this is all worth it. I feel you so much though. Hope we get through this! Summer is right around the corner and I'm a hot mess.
