Acne.org Products
Hey everyone,
I've had acne for as long as I can remember. I literally tried everything, and nothing worked. I went on YouTube one day and saw thisgirl talking about the regimen here on acne.org and her results seemed too good to be true but I gave it a try anyway since I had nothing to loose. So I tried it and wow, my skin cleared up so quickly. My skin did get itchy and dry and a tiny bit red but nothing crazy. I kept going with this until my bottles ran out in the summer. I guess I got a little to comfortable with my skin and just never repurchased the product. A couple weeks later I realized my acne was slowly coming back so I purchaseda new batch. When it arrived,I immediately began using the product the same way I used it when I ran out (full two pumps). My face did not react wellto this at all.I woke up the next morning with swollen eyes and a swollen and itchy face. I couldn't leave the house. I stopped using the product for a while thinking that the reason this happened was because I used a full two pumps instead of gradually adding small amountsand working my way up to two full pumps. I gave it a good 2 week. I went back on the product using the tiniest amount and again my eyes and face swelled up. I've been off the regimen for about 7 months now and my face is the worse it's ever been and again nothing is working. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if I'm now allergic to the bp but I just really want my skin back and the regimen worked wonders for me before, but I'm terified go back on. Any and all feedback would begreatly appreciated.
Thank you
Does your skin also react if you apply the BP on other parts of your skin, lets say part of your arm? If you somehow developed an allergic reaction to BP you should get the same swelling of skin anywhere on your body where you apply it.
Directly going on two full pumps after not using BP for months certainly is not recommended! I would first try a patch of skin that is not on your face/neck area to check for an allergic reaction. If no reaction occurs you might be doing something wrong during your face regimen or going at it too fast?
Exactly the same thing happens to me now. I use aloe vera around my eyes and on my neck to avoid swelling and crazy itching which helps but I find the treatment isn't as useful as it was the first time I used it. Sleeping is difficult when using the treatment because if it rubs anywhere near my eyes they will swell up dramatically. Don't know what to do as my acne is returning and I don't want to use accutane. Neither can I go without make up because I look so awful bare skinned.
