Been drinking a cup of peppermint and nettle tea (50/50) a day. I figure it'll lower my DHT by a little tiny bit. I've been using the BP again too but only as a temporary measure to clear this breakout.

Using BP to slowly bring this breakout under control. Not moisturising inbetween to get as much flaking and peeling going on as possible. Currently a bit clearer, cheeks are noticeably better.

Exfoliated with just sugar and lemon juice paste today before reapplying the BP. Skin is looking reasonable but still not as clear as I'd like.

Skin is continuing to heal from the breakout. Lots of flakes and dryness and still some active spots but not as bad as the last visual update. Easily covered with one layer of medium coverage foundation. Wore some eyeliner and lipstick today which made me feel better about life (and got me a fair bit of attention too!).

Skin is peeling at a rate of knots now. Seems to be taking some of the hyperpigmentation with it too which is nice. I just want it to be flat for my birthday then I can cover it with make up (it's my 21st so there's going to be a LOT of photos).

Been doing literally nothing but exfoliating and applying 10% BP. Most of the actives have cleared up. A big nasty one popped up on my left temple but it's covered by hair so that's not too bad. Cheeks and forehead are progressing nicely.

Small under the skin bump has formed. It's one of those annoying flesh coloured ones that takes it's time to go away too. On the plus side the big one on my temple is gone completely. Still dousing everything in 10% BP and hoping it gets better soon. I got some more Duac today which I'm going to be using. Mostly just PIH now which is fine by me. I can't wait for all the clogs to be gone.

I tried an ice cube massage for the first time today. It was very refreshing and my skin got much tighter; the inflammation looks pretty much the same however. I just don't understand why it's always my cheeks that bare the brunt of the outbreaks.
