HELP HELP HELP!!!!!
I'm so desperate....I have these "bumps" all over my left cheek. I used to get them on my forehead but now they are all over my cheek. What can I do to make them go away.. they are skin colored bumps and when I pick them "solid puss" lol comes out of them and then it leaves huge scars and most of the time I can't even pop them.
Right now I'm using the C&C with bp (third day) and I've gotten two huge cysts on my forhead but I'm hoping it's just crap coming up. I can't use the other C&C with SA because every time I use SA it makes my pores around my nose HUGE and it breaks me out...what should I do?
Has anyone had success with just using the C&C BP??
And has anyone experienced the problem with the "bumps" and what has helped to get rid of them??
THanks ;(

those 'little bumps' are comedonal acne, no-inflammitory and the scaring caused by them is usually temporary and shrink after the clog is removed from the pore. The best way to get rid of these is to use a SA cleanser followed by a nightly application of SA, I recommend the SA C&C blackhead removing scrub followed by applying ZAPZYT's clear pore treatment gel nightly... now most inportant thing to remeber DON"T PICK AT THEM, I know sometimes they look like they will come if you squeeze hard enough, but the problem with squeezing is that you actually rupture the pore wall and can cause a deeper infection... second thing to remeber when you are using the scrub BE GENTLE, the more gentle you are the less irritation and the less chance of irritating your skin. So in summary this is what i recommend:
Morning:
- SA C&C blackhead clearing scrub (GENTLY RUB IT OVER YOUR FACE)
Before Bed (AT LEAST 9 HOURS AFTER MORNING WASH):
- SA C&C blackhead clearing scrub (GENTLY WASH)
- followed immediatly by C&C 10% BP Wash (GENTLY WASH)
- Pat dry and wait about 10-15 minutes
- then apply ZAPZYT Pore Treatment Gel to comedonal acne areas and leave on all night (SMEAR IT ON GENTLY)
hope this helps

My face is crap. I'm so depressed. I have THREE huge cysts on my forehead and one on the left side of my nose. It hurts so much. I can not make any facial expressions without getting a headache. I think I have a tumor growing on my face!!!! Has anyone experienced this with the C&C routine?? I dont know if it's a part of this regimen or is it just me??
hey i just completed week 4 and my face looks great. I was on dan's regime for a year and it worked great but i couldnt spend the time doing it and it felt wierd with all the guck on my face. When i started botchla's regime i thought i wouldnt have an initial break out because i had allready been using bp. It turns out i was breaking out all the way through week 3. I broke out in spots that i had never broken out before like my chin and got some small cysts on my cheeks. Yesterday was week four and my face now looks like it did when i was on dan's regime, if not better. I know other people have had this experience. For some reason this regime will take about 4 weeks to begin working well. So my advice is stick with it. Botchla said that after the 4 week mark his face continued to get better until he was completely zit free. Right now i have 2 small white heads.
I hate my life and I hate my effin face!!! I just woke up with two additional volcanoes on my left cheek. I'm so depressed. I've had one of the cysts on my forehead for 4 days now and the C&C has done NOTHING to make it better. Instead, it has just given me 3 additional ones....great

Even though the Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub says it does just that - clear blackheads - its main purpose in this regimen is to cleanse your skin with Salicylic Acid to prep it for the Benzoyl Peroxide.
I've been using this regimen for about a week and a half with amazing results. After trying Christine's regimen for a little while, I switched to Botchla's. My face has steadily cleared since my first time using these products together.
I have issues with the Blackhead Clearing Scrub, however, in that it is difficult to wash off and get all those little blue scrubbies off. As an alternative to the C & C, I'm thinking of trying Clearasil's Total Control Deep Pore Cream Cleanser. The reviews on it are excellent and it has the same 2% Salicylic Acid as the Clean and Clear scrub.
Has anyone else tried this cleanser?
Wow. I have to say it's a miracle. All my blemishes are gone but I have an increased number of "comedonal acne." I think they are increasing every day. Did this happen to anyone with this regimen?
P.S. I applied PROACTIV(that lotion crap thing) on my huge cysts and after two days they were completely gone.
Not sure if either of you have strictly blackhead problems, but I ran into a bit of the same thing with the comedones. Let me tell you, Biore pore strips REALLY work for me. Also, salycylic acid is a topical that if you stop using it, you go right back to where you started. It's a bit of a problem, because if you do use it, you get the comedones, and if you don't, you're back to square one. But the Biore strips - at least for me - work wonders.
And now a question: I (while I am mostly clear) just drained a very large zit on my chin. I had been treating it with 10% BP spot treatment. It is still red and a bit swollen... does anyone know what to do AFTER it has been popped to encourage a decrease in swelling and redness? Keep treating it with BP? Switch to SA? Leave it alone? Please help!
I am on Dan's regimen and am tired of not being able to wear dark colored shirts due to the amount of BP on my neck. If I switch to this regimen, after already having gone through the BP dryout from Dan's regimen will I need a moisturizer?
I feel like I can basically wear 2.5 BP without much hassle at this point.
Anyways. Will this regimen allow me to wear dark color shirts without ruining them?

As of right now I have no zits on my face. I just have two red marks on my left cheek from two previous zits. I dont have blackhead problems just these damn comedonal acne. I don't know how to get rid of them. I used Retin A and it worked for a while but then it made my face so oily and it enlarged my pores. It seems to me that I'll be stuck with this shitty skin for the rest of my life!!!

Yes. As long as you rinse the BP cleanser off well, you should have no trouble wearing dark shirts, I do it all the time.
Does brand on the SA/BP matter much?
I've got some SA wash and BP cream. Since I would end up washing both off anyways on this regimen, will the bp cream work instead of the bp wash?
I ask because I think i've actually given this regimen a try at some point.. except I would wash with SA first, then put BP cream on and leave it all day. It dried my face out terribly and didn't seem to help very much with acne.
Does brand on the SA/BP matter much?
I think the brands matter. I switched from the C&C SA to Clearasil SA and my face dried up like a prune, so now I have to go back to the C&C. I was thinking of switching BP brands from the C&C to Oxy's 10% BP wash, though... has anyone else tried this?
Alright..I give up. I cant do this anymore. Nothing has worked for me NOTHING. I have tried Dan's, Botchlas, Christine's regimen, and was even on Retin A. I see slight improvement and then BAM..all crap again. I have these skin colored bumps all over my face and now i'm getting these TINY red dots around my mouth , along with my acne, and my left cheek looks like a war zone.
Anyways, my dream of having clear skin is finally over. Why dream of something that will never happen? So F it...i'm over it (not really). Good luck to all of you and I hope you achieve your goal!
