Hello all.
I'm 27 and I've had mild to moderate to severe acne over the years.
Now I get a couple of zits here and there but I wanted to clear it all up. I decided to jump on the bandwagon and I've been on this regimen for 4 days and it's working pretty good. I have broken out with small whiteheads which I hadn't had in years. Hopefully they go away soon. My question is this
does anyone know if it's okay to put some "Benzamycin" on those red marks as I've had success with this in the past. I haven't tried it along with this regimen, but let's see what happens. Good luck to all of us...........
Caelvanna said:hey. for whoever has been using botchla's regimen what kind of acne did you have? being clear sounds so wonderful!
I just started. But i have redmarks on my cheeks, 4-5 active pimples around the jawline, and a few under the skin pimples.
mainly its all redmarks, that stay active, if not treated.
My first cleaning was great.. I love the new soaps. They are exactly as described by Botchla.
Should I do each wash morning and night, or take it slowly? :
i would start off nightly.. get a feel for how dry your face feels before going to bed.. if its tolerable.. use twice a day... my intention was to use twice a day for a while to get clear.. then switch to once a day.. thats still my intention but because the drying isnt too much and i'm so pleased with the results.. i'm sticking with twice a day... (if it aint broke.. dont fix it)
dont expect to never ever breakout on botchlas. Give it a few weeks before u throw it in the dump. I really do beleive that mild, even moderate acne can get clear thru this reigmen as long as ur skin can handle it.
It takes a week or 2 for a pimple to form =D.
Oh and the small white hands are normal, Lots of ppl have experienced it. I think they go away in a weeks time. Its not a big deal as they are just the color of ur skin any ways.
IM on this regime and I broke out with two today, but I knew this would happen...cause like drifter said it takes like 2 weeks for a pimple to form and I have only been on for almost a week maybe! I am giving it a month because my entire face except for those two are clear! Some people expect something to work like in days, but just think of how long you had acne for? Isnt it worth just giving this a try! This isnt gonna work for everyone, some swear by proactive, some by other meds, I think U just gotta be patient and know ur skin and kinda customize the best you can!
Drifter I think u send me a message but when I checked it it said error so I never recieved it! Post it on here if u can!
you can use moisturizer if you need it..this regime is only the core! I think if u find something that helps or enhances this program for ya, go for it! Everyone's skin is different but yeah this is the core..I use Clear logix acne and scar cream after I wash and before I put on my make up, cause if you are female and wear make up you know that make up goes on better if you have some moisturizer beneath it!
Well, I usually have oily skin...I was using neutrogena cleanser, and it was shit. My skin never felt clean, but I kept using it.
Last night I went out and bought both of these C&C products (For anyone in Canada, they sell both of these and a bunch of other things by this company C&C at shoppers drug mart) and I can say it's been only 2 times I've used them so far and you face is not oily. It makes it feel clean. I woke up today with 5 whiteheads, used the blackhead scrub, took of most of those, and now my skin looks better. I'd reccomend it for anyone who isn't finding anything else useful.
For your info everyone, ive been on it for 1 day now, with 2 washes of each cleanser, and i must say about 75% of my active acne has formed a head/scab and is hard like a scab. While On natures cure 5% bp cream, i wasn't really able to get them to come to a head like this and disappear as they should. what this product has done in 1 day is more than what NC can do in 3 days.
Impressive so far.....
Two washes in the morning was kind of harsh on me. i had to use some almond oil lotion, but only 2 drops.... It's not as drying as i thought it would be considering the two washes.... i use about 6 drops of oil when i was using NC, so it has only been positive.
why would you need a time released wash? I think the point of washing is to get rid of the bacteria that's on your face. So would a time released one get rid of the bacteria an hour after washing? I dunno, go for it if you want, but C&C is deffinetely the best BP wash I've used this far.

ohh so those scabs are suppoes to come? i kinda picked them off gently with a tweezer, no bleeding or anything happened just the head of the scab came off.. should i be doing that?
If they come off really easily, go for it. but if they are kinda scabby and hard to pull off, let them heal. you will know when there healed.
its a good thing when your pimples get hard. they are healing and scabbing a bit.
many just disappear without scabs but sometimes they occur.
hey everyone
since april i switched to CC BCS
but i kept using on the spot
i got good results AS LONG as i kept the 15 mins between wash/bp and bp/moisturizer
and MOST importantly if i used as LITTLE on the spot as possible as long as i was covering. whenever i would start to use more than barely covering i would break out
well, i just got home a couple minutes ago with CC continuous control
im proud to say, that after about a year of wondering about it, i finally got the stuff to do botchla's regemin
i'll keep you guys posted
sorry for the double post but i'm kindof excited
i also have a question
it seems like i may have sensitive skin because of the fact that i had to continue using small amounts of on-the-spot as well as aloe as a moisturizer (for the summer at least)
anyways, after using this new BP (C&C) my face feels ridiculously smooth and tingly, and i feel so free not having to regulate 15 mins this 15 mins that, but i was wondering, do you guys think i will have to use a tiny amount of this stuff as well?
or do you think i'll just use a normal amount and be fine, because i'm washing it off.
