I just wanted to know how long it might take for the initial breakout/purging to subside? I am breaking out into horrible huge red inflamed pimples! It's been a week i started the regimen and my cheeks are full of new humongous pimples which I never had before! :(

Any help will be much appreciated.

The initial breakout can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, and it's also normal to purge periodically as more latent acne is brought to the surface. Thankfully purging that occurs later on is usually milder and heals much quicker than the IB. But hopefully by week 4 or 5, you'll start to see some clearing from this IB.

Hang in there and don't give up! :)

Hi I'm in week 5 and I'm experiencing something very similar. i'm getting a new cyst each day and the area of inflamed acne keeps on spreading. I'm using more and more BP and at this point I don't know what else to do. I never experienced any initial breakout. Is mine purging as well?

You're doing everything you can do. Purging is part of the process. Just muscle through and don't give up!! |::comfort:
