LOL i dont use boil water i just get tap water and i drink plain water i may start drinking green tea though and mix some cinnamon in that! mmmm
DAY 7
one of the new pimples i got finally is gone now just a red mark to fade the other two that showed up on the regimen came to a head and look like they will be gone by morning and the one i have where the cluster of white heads was is getting bigger and redder with no head but it does kind of hurt a little.. im hoping that its not gigantic by tomorrow. other than that i am actually starting to get one or two more new very tiny pimples on previous redmarks mostly where i put on the zinc sunscreen im thinking maybe its a break out from the sunscreen.. i didnt put sunscreen on at all today so hopefully that helped any ways other than that things are looking good forehead still clear so im hoping that in a few more days my cheeks will be clear as well!
DAY 8
Forehead still clear.
so i woke up this morning and the red bump that i got from the cluster of whiteheads came to a head a HUGE HEAD and it hurt, i tok a shower and unfortunately i think the water popped it it doesnt hurt right now and it actually looks like its healing and maybe some of the swelling is starting to shrink. as for the other pimples i had when i started this regimen they are all finally gone and flat turned into red marks. although i think the yogurt may have broken me out a little bit because know have kind of like red patches of acne now on my left cheek. not inflamed pimples just like kind of flat bumps here and there all spread out over all the redmarks that i used to have which is really annoying becuse those redmarks WERE HEALING...i took the yogurt out today but im still taking cinnamon to see if it was the cinnamon or yogurt. who knows it may have just been coincidence.. any ways.. over all: my face does not look irritated at all just a few spots that i still need to get rid of. im finally experiences some dry skin issues on my chin and near the side creases of my lips. only bad when i get out of the shower usually they are all soaked up by oil by mid day. any ways my right cheek is looking ok. i had a bunch of white heads on top of both my cheeks above the cheek bone under the eye and most of them are starting to flatten out now only about 2 pimples came to a head on both sides and they are already healed and gone.
over all my face is looking 'softer' but it feels kind of rough when im on the shower touching it i hope it gets better in a week!!!
also i dont know if maybe the honey is plying a role in not helping my acid mantle get back to its original state? becuase i do believe its exflo my face and removing dead skin... i may have to stop doing this becuase i only do honey on my cheeks where my problem areads are.. ive never put it on my forehead and my forehead cleared with water only in 8 days.
Yo man I tried some of that cinnamon last night and I woke up this morning with a nasty pimple. Then earlier I was kinda like stretching my face to get a better look and it popped! Damn it hurt like shit but it's less sore now that the gunk is out of it....sooooo I'm holding off on the cinnamon a while. I may be wrong but I definitely think it caused that little bugger....keep me posted though if you're continuing with it. If it gets you results I'll try it again 
I'm still doing that water only at night time btw. I think tonight will be my 3rd night of it. No real bad reactions yet although my acne seems to be more noticeable. Like my clear parts are like flawless atm but the acne parts are very visible. I think it's like the pureness of water is just highlighting the acne. Lol, it's crazy hard to explain. Like with h&s my face always had a little red color to it (probably slight burning or whatever) but with the water only it seems that my face is paler so the blemishes stand out more...eh I think it's a good thing for now 
Good luck
hey bro i actually quit the cinnamon for now as well lol! cause the other day when i broke out from the yogurt i wasnt sure what to blame either the yogurt or the cinnamon so im quitting both for right now. ill continue it later when my skin heals from this brekout
DAY 9
So im starting to feel crappy about this approach.. mainly because of the breakout i had the day i ate yogurt.. i dont really now if that was the case or not but the breakout hasnt really reduced much.. as for the big pimple the came to a head its pretty much reduced 50% in size and theres no more pus it looks like its healing pretty well and will be hone by tomorrow. the bad news is that i got another one right beside it.. came to a head last night but its only half the size of the one that is beside it. so im hoping that one wll be gone soon too.
on top of that my face is really starting to feel grimy and itchy i usually never touch my face and i noticed i was scratched with my index finger quite a bit, so im trying to stop that now... when i wash, it feels like i have tiny bumps and dead skin cell particles all over my face... and i just noticed im starting to get very tiny new crusty bumps on the outsides of my face near the side burns area...foreead is still pretty much 95% clear but it also feels just as grimy.. no visible marks there though. any way the dead skin on my chin and lip creases is still there. im hoping that starts to go away soon. i did start to get very minor bumps on previous red marks on my right cheek now too but not inflammed red bumps theyre dark and almost in the shape of nodules like widespread but they do not hurt at all? and theyre not red at all....this is also what i got on my left cheek the day i ate yogurt. im really hoping that they go away by tomorrow..... wish me luck! over all i would say that three days ago i made 40% progress since i started this regimen, now.. after the yogurt incident, i would say im back right to where i started.... ill let you know how things look tomorrow morning! im still hangin in strong no soap at all
dreamingofclearskin, the reason you have dead old flaky skin is because your skins natural shedding process is not fully healed yet, so your skin is not functioning like it normally would, by flaking off the dead excess skin. You will know when you are finally healed that your skin will start to flake all on its own. Once the skin starts flaking and shedding the skin is when you can enjoy the full functioning of your skin again, which includes: hot water, wet shaving/gentle shaving creams without irritation, and possibly other chemicals (not that I would recommend them). Good luck. It is tough in the beginning because you get a bunch of white heads from old scars and dead flaky skin sometimes, that or grimy skin, as you have described. There are several things you can do to reduce the flakiness of the situation. Exfoliate gently, very gently, do not rub or use harsh chemicals, perhaps a nice mud/clay mask would help.
hey thanks alot for the support man! i wasnt really sure exactly what to expect coming into this regimen so i appreciate that info. i figured itd be atleast 2 weeks for my skin to look more natural because the acid mantle can take up to 14 days to repair itself. i dont really have flakes its more like tiny dots of dead skin just dots all over the chin. they are not whiteheads at all i know that they are skin but definately not flakes. so hopefully it doesnt get too much worse than this plus with no masturbating im hoping this will speed up my acne by a little at least! so end of day 9 and id say that my breakout looks like its finally fading just a tad not much at all. but 25% at most. hope to have a better day tomorrow! almost 10 days on this regimen! 13 for my forehead! man im brave...
day 10 my face looks exactly the same just a little less irritated not much redness at all in the problem areas. im just really hoping this wll all be gone within a week or so im so close to the 2 weeks point! and non jerking for 16 days im really hoping to see some progress soon!
day 11
night...
ok my face is getting worse.. i just looked in the mirror and i actually gained like 5 more pimples than i had this morning.. i might cave in tonight and wash unfortunately..
Aww bro, bad luck. Head up man, it'll pass quickly! Stay positive and it'll go even faster What do you mean by "cave in and wash"? Do you not wash your face at all?...It's morning here and I didn't want to wash my face at all this morning! I won't be leaving the house today (hwork and study) so I thought there'd be no reason do so but I just rinsed it with water to get off some dead skin cells. No scrubbing or a bit. So today should be my first day with fully water only, seeing I'm washing with only water every night now. It's going well. So thanks for that tip bro It feels so great to be able to wash with only water again. And my desires for a wank have fallen incredibly...it's great
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BRO, REMEMBER IT'S ONLY TEMPORARY!!
Day 12:
i quit the regimen 
im sorry to any one i let down who has read this at all or is going to read this in the future. maybe my new approach will work and by reading this you can achieve clear skin if this new regimen works!
@the comeup
haha no yeah bro i have been washing with water i meant cave in and wash (with soap) i did cave by the way.. last nght i washed with my soap and it felt so good. then i washed this orning it also felt so good! the only reason i caved in and cleansed was because i read an interesting new topic! http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php/topic/58759-hibiclens/page__st__0
its PH balacened to about 5.5-7 which means it still will not strip the acid mantle. and it was extreme bacteria killing properties. so im experimenting with this. almost every one reported good results after only a few days to a week because it literealy destroyes bacteria. its not made for the face but so many people have used it on the face with extreme precaution! ill let you know how it goes. i tested it last night and i didnt breakout. so today i will wash with it and it will be the official "first day" wish me luck bro! i couldnt take no water any more my face got so disgusting. tiny bumps EVERYWHERE and i felt like a huge grease monkey it was bad man.
Oh damn, sorry the only water thing didn't work but well done for finding something else! Hope it goes great for you man Yah plz fill me (and whoever else following this in) about the progress...One thing though man, I wouldn't advise experimenting so much with washes and stuff, I was like that last summer trying new face washes every week or so crying out for a cure and it absolutly did nothing...I was careless towards my skin back then and I know you're careful about yours but just be careful man I was always cautious about water only thing, but the H&S once a day, water once a day is going pretty good for me...Maybe it might work for you? Twice a day can be harsh on the face but again it's up to you man
Good luck!
yeah its all good bro i appreciate the concern but i figured this would be a perfect time to start a new regimen because people say if you switch soaps allt he time you shouldnt switch one after the other but i figured this is perfect because i havent been using anything for 11 days now would be perfect to start fresh and new! haha i thought about that already bro. i think ive had a good gap inbetween and should be fine so no worries and i didnt have a bad reaction to it yet. ill let you know if anything goes bad in a few days. im really hoping to report with good results in a few days!!! because i feel like my acne is for sure a bacterial infection. nothing to do with diet or anything else i think i have an actually infection on the face thats spreading and i need to get a medicine to kill it. i really hope this works and stick with me bro ill let you know how it oes and maybe you can get some too and try it out! ill be the ginea pig though no worries hahahah
Hows that new cleanser thingy coming along man?? I read up on it a little...it looks pretty damn intense. Can cause blindness and fuck your nose up too if it comes in contact with them or something along those lines...it does seem to do a helluva job though...can't deny that...
today is the 3rd day but i havent got much to report just yet. im not getting any new breakouts though. havent seen much clearing yet. im really hoping by day 7 ill see some improvement. ill let you know bro!
and yeah i read about the blindness and nose i just make sure to breathe out of my nose when im throwing water back on my face when rinsing the cleanser off lol and its not hard to keep my eyes close also ill let you know if its good in 4 or 5 more days!
Well at least thats something, and it's very early but yah great job
ya lol, I'd be real nervous about that part but hell if is does it's job it's well worth the caution!! Thanks man...
hey bro its the beginning of day 4 and its safe to say that this stuff is definately clearing my acne. the right side of my face only has 2 active pimples now and the left (where i had the bad breakout from yogurt) almost all the acne is flat and just left with red marks now. but they are no longer inflammed and irritated looking. unfortunately i did develop one new pimple right on my bottom lip it sucks.. it looks like herps but im trying really hard to just to forget about it and more than likely it wll be gone in a few more days i hope!! and that pimple occured from another cluster of clogged pores that have ben there for weeks. it finally surfaced. but yeah man this new soap is aesome only 4 days and im seeing improvements! i cant wait until ive used this for 2 weeks. my face should be spotless!!! i also have a bottle of witch hazel but i havent used it yet. im going to start using it as a toner to help with the redmarks. i need a good exfoliator though. do you have any good ones in mind? because i do still have a few clogged pores and from what i read the soap will not help with clogged pores. it only helps with inflammed acne. so once all the acne on my face is completely flattened i will start witch hazel(im afraid of breaking out on it cause ive never used it so thats why im waiting) and then i will look for a exflo. are those clean and clear products with the beads in them any good? my brother uses the morning burst and he used to have bad acne its the only soap he uses now for his face every morning..
That is fucking great news bro well done!! Could you link a picture of the bottle or something please? Yah I was at the whole no spots stage a few months back too and then I made the worst mistake of my life by jacking off once and it screwed my face badly...as for exfoliators, I use a toothbrush lol...I know it sounds old fashioned and somewhat tough on skin but it is an absolute life saver man, truth...I use a normal manual toothbrush, soften the bristles under hot water for 10 seconds and scrub lightly my entire face. It makes my face go bright red but thats the circulation and after a half hour it looks normal again...look up some tutorials and ish about it. People have found it great to reduce those cursed red marks too...
thanks for the info man! i may go buy a new tooth brush and start doing that soon then! as for the pic
thats exactly what mine looks like. some people say they have pink bottles too but mine looks like that blue.
i got it at walgreens in the band aid aisle right beside the betadine and rubbing alcohol. im sure they have it at walmart and cvs and rite aid some people said that they dont keep it on shelves and you have to ask the pharmacist for it they keep it behind the counter. mine was on the shelf luckily lol
if you get it let me know bro, its all liquidy and it doesnt lather up at all. you pretty much put some in your palm and smear it on your face and let it sit for about 1 minute after youve applied then rinse. ive been doing it in the shower morning and night its the easiest for me lol they say you can get it anywhere on your body but your eye ears nose mouth and genitals! so be very careful down below! hahaha i dont use it on my body at all seems how i have not one bit of body acne and i dont want to waste the cleanser lol its only 10 bucks though man and i still have a full bottle pretty much. i can see it lasting me at least 3 weeks or more
DAY 4
this is the official 4th day of me using hibiclens.
when i started 4 days ago i was getting over a huge break out i had from yogurt. or from what i think was from yogurt. i had patches of ance all over my left cheek. big bumps inflammed about 2 on my bottom left chin and 2 on the bottom right chin and about 6 very small pesky red pimples on the outside right cheek. Also a ton of red post acne marks on both cheeks.
Now 4 days using this cleanser it cleared all the tiny bumps on right cheek almost all the patches on the left are flattened and the ones on my chin are gone. unfortunately i gained 2 small pimples on my top lip one big one on my bottom lip and about 2 very small ones on my right cheek. but my cheeks are clearing up amazingly! and its only been 4 days. im really excited to see what happens in a week or 2 and i will keep you all posted.
once my acne is completely gone i will start to apply witch hazel toner for the redness and maybe start using organic honey again. i will alsp look for a good exfoliator more than likely a small baby brush or toothbrush
DAY 5
my face looks the same as yesterday. no new pimples yet. one of the pimples on my upper lip is healed. the other looks like it will be healed by tomorrow. the one on my bottom lip looks as if its in the middle stage like not getting anymore bigger or inflammed and will start t heal in the nect 3 days. my right cheek is still looking great my left cheek i can tell the redness is going down and they are getting my flatter. nothing else to report as of today. im hoping in a few more days all my acne will be gone and i wont have any new pimples..
Good stuff man keep up the good work oh just to let you know I too have quit washing with only water at night. My skin has been seriously oily during school this week and it's gotta be the water at night. The water hasn't made my acne worse by much, but it hasn't improved it either...so I'm back on the H&S twice a day. I wish I didn't have to up "the dosage" but I feel at ease having no oil on my skin so yeah...oh btw, I was in a kind of a health store last night and I couldn't find that Hibiclens stuff. I asked the girl behind the counter too but she said she never heard of it...I'm not too bothered but yah it must not be available where I'm at...I'm from Ireland btw lol...we're a bit behind the times in some areas
that sucks man! i thought you were in the states lol yes i read a lot of people had hard times finding it in other countries.
the ingredient in hibiclens is "4% chlorhexidine gluconate" remember its the stuff doctors use to kill bacteria before surgery. if you tell the pharmacist the ingredient and what its used for i bet he/she can show you the cleanser they use in ireland i heard people in other countries found it called hibitane just ask them about "chlorhexidine gluconate" thats the main ingredient. there are inactive ingredients too only like 4 of them though. or you can go to the doctors office and ask them what they use its similar to iodine. i wouldnt use iodine though because it stains the skin and its hard to scrub off lol if you can find it maybe you can order it online? its only 10 dollars a bottle where im from and shipping would prolly run you around 13 bucks id say? so 23 dollars might get you a really good cleanser! lol just keep looking in the bandaid aisles in any store that has pharmacy thats where you will find it. look at anything that looks like a cleansing liquid and search the ingredients for chlorhexidine gluconate good luck bro!
sorry to hear about the water man i too was getting very oily when i used water only without cleansers.
im looking on google for names it could be under in ireland and im not getting any info
