Hi ya'll.
I'm on Dan's regimen. However, I stopped using BP for awhile, my skin started to break out with very small, clogged pores. I bought the very expensive Clarisonic. Didn't help. Went back to BP. Cleared my small acne. But NOW I have larger pimples again. And I've been breaking out a lot! So, starting last week, I cut out the Clarisonic (it's the only "outlier" on my regimen). I thought maybe that was irritating my skin.
Yet, I'm still breaking out, only the breakouts are all along areas that keep clearing up. So, every time a pimple leave, a new one sprouts up next to it.
Now I'm wondering: If it were the Clarisonic breaking me out, why would it take this long for the bad acne to start?
Is it possible for 2 and a half months to go by using something before it breaks you out (I usually break out from a bad product within a week)?
Was it the introduction of the Clarisonic WITH BP that aggregated by skin?
If something does irritate your skin to the point it breaks you out, how long does it take for your skin to start clearing up again?
Any answers based on your own experiences is appreciated!
Try Kate Summerville it worked for me honest! i'm not trying to advertise or any of that at least get some samples it's worth a try -acne cleanser, anti-bac lotion & eventually work up to the exfoliator. I hope it works for you. A few other things I did was add pure olive oil in my diet, drink lots of water, and green tea. I had it baddd.
It sounds like the constant changing may have been a part of your breakout. Or maybe the breakout is a result of some other stimuli such as being out in the sun more often, changing up your diet, etc.
The Clarisonic with BP might have been too much for your skin, and it broke out over time as your skin eventually couldn't cope with the addition of Clarisonic. Maybe the Clarisonic alone was the cause. It's hard to say exactly what caused it.
I suggest you try the Regimen again and stick with it. I know it sucks to have acne and you want to get rid of it right away, but acne unfortunately doesn't work like that. Your skin may be able to clear up within a week, or hell maybe even days if all the environmental factors are right. If we knew the answer to every single little detail about acne, we'd probably all be free of it .
