Hi
I am 38 and have acne since I was 12. I've tried oral antibiotics (which ruined my stomach) been on accutane twice and been on dianette off and on for about 15 years. The last time I tried coming off Diannette my acne came back with a vengeance. Although it clears my skin I reluctantly have to come off it again as my migraines are proving too debilitating. I've never tried the regimen but it sounds great. What I want to know is, should I wait till my acne comes back again (which it definitely will) or should I start some form of the regimen now? I stopped Dianette today.
Thanks in advance
I strongly believe that if you're starting with clear skin that you'll get much better results from BP. It makes sense if you think about it, the BP can get into pores and kill bacteria. If you have a lot of acne, the BP only goes on TOP of closed pores and can't really be as effective.
So I'd say the sooner you start the better!
Oh yes sister def. Do!!! Diane was my miracle cure...until i came of it...when i went back i realised it stopped working for me....try the regimen now before it comes back! But i would recommend using the bp only in the evening since youre clear right now and it is very drying to the skin...can you still have scne at 38? I was hoping it would disapear in my 30s
